i'm not familiar with viper.also on your earlier comment i'm not a fan of anything Jack White related tho i respect dude as an artist.can we at least agree that viper is rap?
I’d say RZA is my least favoritetbh i think im just not a gza fan in general.. he is probably my least favorite member of the wu tang...
if it was something like a ghostface album or ODB or inspectah deck (but not one of the newer albums) i would definitely pick it up... but not gza as he has the least personality of all the rappers
They’re def abrasive. I was a fan of Hella years before DGs so I already knew what to expect from Zach Hill and it didn’t disappoint.I've had people look at my sideways from time to time, I don't usually just play them for people unprompted because they can be a lot to take in, but I've met people who only know them through meme status and have a certain idea of their music because of that. My point was that people have told me that "Death Grips is bad" and expressed incredulity that I like them "unironically" but it hasn't spoiled my love for their music.

I think the thing about DG is it's hip-hop mixed with a bunch of different stuff. I think the band themselves would probably admit that they stray further and further from the hip-hop archetypes with each album. I think Exmilitary is a very hip-hop album but Year of the Snitch is basically an experimental rock album that just so happens to have Ride rapping on it.i know we all have opinions and i'm the gate keeper but i don't get how death grips is considered Hip Hop i'm not a fan of DG.
That's a funny thing a lot of people take for granted, compared to Hella and Zach's solo work, Death Grips is a lot more accessible in comparison with recognizable hooks and song structures.They’re def abrasive.

i've listened to a few DG albums and Rides flow/cadence doesn't come of to me as rapping that's what has me most confused when people call it Hip Hop, be i'm well aware Hip Hop can be very experimental lyrically,production wise and also to an extent on vocal delivery.I think the thing about DG is it's hip-hop mixed with a bunch of different stuff.

I’d much rather just a 2xLP pressing of Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s Return To The 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version instead of a 9x7’’LP pressing! Like I don’t want 9 discs of a single album...its probably pro tools (not a great choice), grandmasters (considered from what i hear a pretty decent album, but i haven't heard it but it seems the criticism of gzas flow is still there), or return to the 36 chambers (i find it kinda unlikely if just because there is going to be a 7" box set for RSD drop 2)
then how do i figure out what albums are good..
i want to be happy.
This. Plus Also I have aged into (and occasionally out of) music too. I am much more patient with music now than I was in my teens and 20s. It was tough for me to really get behind songs that over 5 minutes in length. Now I am all about a nice long jam which has allowed me to enjoy stuff like The Grateful Dead and Jazz.sometimes i hear music and at first i dont like it but then later on, maybe in a different setting, i hear it again and im like THIS IS FIYAH! lol
Thoughts not this?
