    Death grips is certainly hard to get in to, but knowing a bit about your music taste I'm sure there's the potential for them to become one of your favorite bands.
    Each Death Grips album has a completely different sound, although similar, don't get too settled yet, lol. But it's one of the reason we Death Grips fans love them.
    I actually have to thank death grips for getting me in to hip hop from rock. I'd recommend you next listen to their albums 'Jenny Death' and 'Exmilitary', because they have the most rock elements (Exmilitary actually samples band like Pink Floyd and Black Flag.).
    I suppose I could explain some things about the Death Grips 'lore' so you can understand the project and lyrics more. The band is comprised of three members: Andy Morin (producer), Zach Hill (math rock drummer from the band Hella), and the rapper MC Ride, or Stephan Burnett, a African-American man in his forties, who comes from a fine art background (he is an amazingly talented painter, worth checking out his work). He's also seemingly deep in to the occult (mostly the dark side). From what I understand he set out to express his experience and the darkness, horror and anger within him by creating a character named MC Ride, screaming poems about him.

As for videos of live performances, I don't think you can go wrong with anything, but have one video where MC Ride (the rapper/singer) just fucking smashes a laptop by throwing the drummer's tom/snare at it lmao: th-cam.com/video/g_maeU9qttU/w-d-xo.html

Personally I have no opinion on them as an outfit, as this is the only album of theirs I've heard, but I do think this is a very cool album and it's hard to deny how immensely influential it's been on the last decade of music.

I’m very versed in the traditional hip hop of old school BIG, Tupac, Snoop, 2000s 50 cent lil Wayne Kanye, 2010s on Tyler drake etc etc. I’ve never heard anything this chaotic in the hip hop world (and I mean stuff the average fan would run into, if you’re aware and looking for this stuff I’d put you in a deeper fan level cause every genres has sub genres and twists of that to find out there if you dig enough). Some of Danny browns and JPEGMafia songs remind me of this type of chaos.

    The drummer zack hill is from Sacramento from where I am. My 8th grade English teacher was drummer and a huge punk rock fan, he taught me a lot about music and about death grips apparently he went to some of his shows cause zack was just insane. My teacher also had a band back in 2000s and gave me a copy. They were pretty dope, they had two drummers and it was split between ear.

    A smoother transition to more experimental hip hop would be better suited with an artist like Jpegmafia. All of his albums r very chaotic and eclectic but also have more traditional hip hop aspects to them that you'd be more familiar with. I think you should for sure check out Veteran, All My Heroes Are Cornballs or the latest LP! I'd put money on you enjoying it, dude is a hilarious genius
    Also check out Danny Brown too, his album Atrocity Exhibition is fucking awesome

    Additionally, Carti and Death Grips contrast in a sense of WLR seems to be more about a celebration of yourself, flaunting your individuality and how pure uniqueness can gain you a lot of clout. Death Grips has a more introverted confidence to them. They know they have a unique thing on there hands except there’s more tones of existentialism and confusion towards 21st century living. Carti is like “fuck it, im here, I’m young, I’m a rockstar, where are the bitches?” If you wanted to make a basic comparison to genres Carti is like Hair Metal and Death Grips is Goth or Black Metal. DG also does a great job of carrying on the torch from bands like Black Sabbath, Black Flag and even Metallica in a sense of diehard fan base, classic merch and logos etc.

I'm a big death grips fan, but the first few times I heard their music it caught me so off guard that I didn't actually start enjoying it until some months after I discovered them. I don't know exactly what happened, maybe the last sane part of my brain was killed off by the 808s, but something eventually clicked and now all of their music is ear candy. I'm just pleasantly surprised that you enjoyed as much as you did! Looking forward to the additional thoughts video if you're making one :)

    A lot of the genius behind Death Grips, and I may get crucified for this by some of the more pretentious hiphop fans, is similar to Carti where it’s all about an audio aesthetic. It’s coordinated chaos that these guys are able to put together though some unreal talent because everything you hear is on purpose. The major difference between the two is that while Carti’s lyrics quite literally do not matter, MC Ride (Death Grips’ frontman) has some very well throughout out that are insanely cryptic lyrics that he makes impossible to understand, again, on purpose. They force you to really pay attention to the music. This is one of my favorite albums of all time because it scratches the part of my brain that loves chaos, I can’t say the same about their other works as a whole because this might be their easiest album to digest, but the creativity is always there.

I really would consider listening to their other albums, Exmilitary, No Love Deep Web, and Bottomless Pit (in that order).
