Has this guy ever made a mediocre beat?

Has this guy ever made a mediocre beat?

I mean...probably?

has he ever made a beat?

I think andy is the best death griper

Pretty much all of GP.

i want him to death grip my small penis

nope
while he is a great producer, i'm not too sure i'm okay with his political opinions... he comes off as pretty Sup Forums sometimes

literally the wrongest answer possible

Have you actually heard the full album? It wasn't always as creative or lavish but it still sounded brilliant

I still listen to Big House for the bird/siren thing out of sheer fascination for how it sounds

Point I was trying to make is that this guy just seems to shit out brilliant production, he barely has to try

it all sounds like ableton presets to me. not really all that creative.

Why can't anyone else do it?

they can though. listen to some of the very early grime clashes (circa 2000-2003), listen to birmingham/industrial techno. listen to emego. listen to matsunaga. you'll hear loads of people doing the same sort of thing.

>using "presets" as a criticism post "r plus seven"

Figuratively go fuck yourself.

Yes.

well he does use a lot of Ableton presets (really only started with GP), nothing wrong with that. The songwriting is still interesting

right, but the whole concept and sub behind r plus seven was that lopatin was taking these stock/generic sounds and removing them from their signifiers, therefore creating a whole new context: the artifice becomes more "real" than the "authentic" sound/instrument it's mimicking. that album was an exercise with playing with the plasticity of those sounds - that is, however, not the case with death grips instrumentals. they lack that conceptualization

woah

White Morpheus?

>he comes off as Sup Forums

You realize the thing about him being racist was a copypasta, right?

After tms, they must have gotten better equipment or reference audio. That was around the point andy started working within a much wider range of frequency. Not that his production before then wasn't great, but you don't pickup the little intricacies like you do on his newer stuff. Some of the things I can think of are the skewed samples like jimi hendrix on punk weight or Serena Williams.
After then is when he started using them in a really creative way imo. For example the first 2 second intro to even a simple song like whammy is waaayy further ahead in complexity and range than anything on tms. In that intro alone, you get the vocal sample, the hi hat pattern, and then some cellphone sample ring that was probably also played by zach on the v'drums. Some of the post tms stuff still astonishes my mind how it was created.

what's a death gripper?

First actually good and analytical post I've read on Sup Forums in some time.

The pasta isn't even about him originally. It's from Nico's wikipedia page. Can somebody post the Andy version?

>born too late to actor in matrix
>born just in time to Morpheus in front of an macbook

Antti Salonen?

someone who can't cum because they jerk off too much

>What is half of Fashion Week?

No. He came out of nowhere to become a genuine triple-A music producer and I have absolutley 0 idea how he pulled it off.

>I have absolutley 0 idea how he pulled it off.
he ripped off some people

Is Andy the one singing on the i.l.ys?

Oh yeah right

Dont give me the whole "dalek B L A C K I E food for animals" routine because I've heard it. Saying DG ripped off any of those artists is like saying the beatles ripped off the monkees.

>Dont give me the whole "dalek B L A C K I E food for animals" routine
but it's true

This

No way

its all just awful

No that's Zach, he sings on his solo albums as well.

There's nothing original in his production. He just uses other people's ideas very well.

Aside from a few songs near the end of Filthy Tounge, which sound like they could be on Jenny Death, Dalek and Death Grips are not at all simular.

who dis?

I don't agree. Exmilitary was roller-coaster of rip-offs, but TMS bringed pop-music influence into industrial hip-hop, it was somewhat original. Plus the whole NOTM still sounds unique.

Ive gone over this like a million times

B L A C K I E first of all shouldnt even merit a response, his music is a fucking cringe fiesta and he has like 15 soundcloud followers. To act like he was somehow even on DG's radar screen, let alone that they drew inspiration from his shitty amateur tracks, is a colossal fucking joke.

Dalek would be more reasonable but Dalek's production just sounds like simple noise samples put over the amen break. Yeah, you can make the argument they "did it first," but DG did it so much better that they dont owe dalek anything at all. Again, its basically like saying radiohead is just a giant rip off of Motley Crue because they both used guitars. Doesnt really hold any water.
>There's nothing original in his production. He just uses other people's ideas very well.
Yeah I remeber that Clams Casino interview where he was like "y'know I've always wanted to use a sample of Serena Williams and distort it beyond all recognition and make it a part of one of my tracks"

What the fuck are you talking about

up until NLDW most of their production was samples, weird shit like cars revving and trains passing by. And then they started using Ableton presets and shit went downhill

>B L A C K I E first of all shouldnt even merit a response, his music is a fucking cringe fiesta and he has like 15 soundcloud followers
so the thing that makes flatlander's production original/groundbreaking is... popularity? how retarded are you?
I agree that his lyrics are not good, but flatlander has nothing to do with lyrics

>DG did it so much better
lmao

>its basically like saying radiohead is just a giant rip off of Motley Crue because they both used guitars
not a good comparison. dg is much more close to blackie and dalek than radiohead to motley crue
you deathgripsfags are fucking cancer, just kill yourself right now

>you deathgripsfags are fucking cancer
seconding here

Fellas on the moon. The Bjork shit ruins it.

>so the thing that makes flatlander's production original/groundbreaking is... popularity
No, its the fact that its, yknow, actually fucking listenable. Blackie uses "durr its harsh noise" as an excuse to hide the fact that he couldnt make a decent beat to save his fucking life. Flatlander makes shit thats catchy and basically chooses to do it noisily, as NotM demonstrated he can make shit thats catchy that isnt noisy too. Blackie makes records by jusy
mashing a bunch of buttons in frootloops and calling it noise because hes fucking garbage and thats all he knows how to do.
>not a good comparison
Compairing DG to dalek or food for animals is "not a good comparison"
>dg is much more close to blackie and dalek than radiohead to motley crue
Yeah if you're biased against DG and are so desperate to grasp at any straw to undermine them that you'll dig up any vaguely noise inspired hip hop music and go OMG OMG DG RIPPED THIS OFF

you dg antifans are such fucking cancer holy shit, take a baby asprin, get in a warm shower so you wont feel the razor, and slash your fucking wrists open already

>being this deluded
literally grimes' fanbase level

GP doesn't have bad instrumentals though. The problem with GP is that its repetetive as fuck.

finally someone noticed it

there's a whole thread of this comprasion, ya know

>being so deluded that you think DG ripped off dalek
>being this upset that someone likes what you dont like
literally

grimes

...

Death Grips fans are pure cringe

agreed

Yeah dude im sure you're soooo much cooler than they are irl

omg such a cool Sup Forums poster

>Yeah dude im sure you're soooo much cooler than they are irl
Of course I am.

I can pretty much guarantee ive had sex more times, and with more women than you have

Try me fatty

>deathgripsfags implies that he had sex
honestly kek'd

>I can pretty much guarantee ive had sex more times, and with more women than you have
No, you can't.

despite his Sup Forums affiliations being a fake meme, why would that matter at all?

there is literally zero need to involve an artist's personal life and/or opinions when commenting on their work

are you so goddamn vapid that you only feel you're worth something when commenting on something as intellectually shallow and superficial as politics?
does it make you feel good?
fuck off, cunt

fag*

I have, several times, with hot women

I mean I dont tell them that im a militant DG fan or anything but its true

Yes, I can, actually.

Seriously fatass try me.

yeah, I believe you, f a m

...

Good because its literally true

I'm kek'ing so hardly, I think it's not healty anymore.

Yeah all this avoiding of actual numbers makes me feel pretty confident that my score is actually the highest here

this

So you want numbers? I don't even remember tbqhwy.

im probably somewhere in the low 30s myself

I want to join in :D
I once posted some videos of myself jacking off and they got like 100% ratings and like 1,000 views each.
That was cool.

>deathgripsfag

I had sex with one of my TAs when i was in college

what's the point of thid thread anymore guys

Tell sex stories

I lost my virginity when i was 17 to a girl who was 22

I also had sex with my foster cousin

death grips fans being autistic

Nice! Was it worth it?
Interesting. How was the age-gap sex?
The foster cousin is a bit odd. how'd that come about?

>Ive gone over this like a million times

nobody asked you to.

zach also produces too, the name flatlander was originally the name of the production team that was made up of zach and andy

>it's another DG thread divulges into shitposting once the hater brigade arrives but DG fans are the ones who are autistic episode
