I feel like your explanation durring takyon was eye opening and could acually fit for the whole album and fit into the whole discography Recontextualization the whole thing!
1:24:17 Actually, it DOES exist on CD, vinyl, and cassette. It was officially released on those formats in 2013 i believe. However, each one was limited to only around 1,000 copies, and has become hard to find. The only reason it hasn't been released again is because the album contains too many uncleared samples that they would be sued for. Bootlegs do exist though, and the quality is usually pretty great. Honestly, in some ways, listening to a bootleg feels like the only true way to listen to death grips.
@@bobthepoppop that's cool. I got myself a bootleg vinyl for pretty cheap and it sounds great. It came with some chips and cracks on the outer edge but it only feels like it adds to the vibe of the album.
One legit one popped up at my local record* store and it took everything in me not to buy it, I called the store and they said it was $450 if I wanted it
i don't think exmilitary is even underrated or anything i think if exmilitary was available on spotify and other streaming services it would be almost as popular if not more popular than the money store
Most death grips albums are better than the money store. Money store is their 5th best at its highest imo, it just gets overrated cuz of fantano and people are scared to get out of their comfort zone after they listen to TMS. TMS is still great though
I think part of the appeal of Death Grips is that no two albums sound super similar, like you mentioned in the closing thoughts. I'll say that no two consecutive albums (hell, even NOTM and Jenny Death sound super dissimilar) sound anything like each other. The fact that Death Grips continues to innovate with every passing record makes them one of my all-time favorite groups. Great reaction! I gotta hear your reaction to Bottomless Pit at some point.
Notm and gp sound similar under many aspects; for example all the chopped vocals and constantly changing song structures like billy not really and anne bonny but yeah i think it’s the only case where two death grips albums are kinda built on similar sounds and ideas. I would also argue that the reason why notm is so much better than gp is that dg would actually build on some of the song ideas from government plates with a more ambitious twitst, the bjork vocals, and longer songs with multiple energy levels all over them like fuck me out or up my sleeves. This is definitely not like a college dropout to late registration type of situation though ; government plates and notm don’t have such similar tracklist and don’t really provide a very similar listening experience from front to end
I used to like every part of Guillotine except the vinyl scratching part, but after like 3 listens to this album I only like the vinyl scratching part.
I had no idea That's like two of the best albums of the decade any genre & Daytona is one of the best hip hop albums of the decade I'm very nostalgic for that whole 7 song Kanye era Pusha Killed it on Daytona
@@zackmackin1131 I don't have a thousand weeks in me right now, maybe a hundred more. Edit: dont worry, whether I feel I have it in me or not I've lived long enough now to learn I will get through it.
kind of an understatement how future forward this mixtape was. Or just Death Grips in general. it's one of those things where you don't know if an artist/band is ahead of their time, or right on time.
i got to see them and let me say it was an insane show. i've been to hardcore shows, death metal shows, but nothing was as chaotic yet exhilarating as that death grips show
Thru the Walls might be my favourite song of ALL time, first heard it in 2015 and nothing has ever matched the raw energy of that song for me. As someone who has experienced multiple severe manic episodes, that song is what it fucking felt like
In my opinion, One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. I don't think it'll ever get the recognition it truly deserves, but hopefully in time it will be known as a true classic. Truly ground breaking work.
I always liked this annotation from Genius on the Exmilitary cover, written by ahxfootball22: The cover is a folded picture of an Aboriginal man. The image was carried in the wallet drummer Zach Hill as a symbol of strength, explaining why the image is folded two ways. This image represents the untamed human desires and aggression that is explored in the album’s abrasive, angry lyrics. It should also be noted that the folds also take the shape of the crosshairs as if the man is being targeted by society, illustrating how western culture frowns upon and tries to tame the primitive desires of man. The folds can also take the shape of a fence, furthering the theme of how western society cages men and targets primal behavior.
Bob! An amazing hip hop album just released today called Cheat Codes. It’s a collaboration between legendary MC Black Thought from The Roots and equally legendary producer Danger Mouse. Check it outttt. It has features from RTJ, MF DOOM, Raekwon, and more!
This was a blast. I wanna watch your Bottomless Pit reaction but seeing you do their discography in order would be awesome. Such a wild ride. Please don't leave us waiting too long ;) much love
@@bobthepoppop Bottomless Pit is the point where Death Grips had really evolved into their sound. It has a similar sound to the Money Store, but more polished and refined. I do think it’s even more chaotic and intense though, especially the first two tracks.
in my opinion this is strangely the most "grounded" / "down to earth" death grips album, i had seizures listening to and trying to comprehend "bottomless pit" and "steroids", not to even mention disc 1 of "the powers that b" or "gmail and the restraining orders" what i'm trying to say is: beware
It’s crazy how even DG more mainstream stuff is still experimental as fuck. I showed my (only just stepping out of the mainstream) friend The Money Store, and he was totally shocked when I told him that was probably their least experimental album
This music means a lot to me. There’s something heartwarming about getting to experience it with another person, even in just video form. Thanks for making this!
God, I love this mixtape so much. I was much more into death/black metal at around this time, and this was just perfect timing for me to get back into what was coming out in modern hip hop. I was just getting out of high school and this always throws me back to that time. Some tweaker that I worked the graveyard shift with put me onto this lmao
I love Death Grips because their music really makes you feel things, a lot of people don't like the sound of their music, but to me, good music is like a good movie, something that makes you feel many different types of way, whether it be mad, sad, or happy or scared, and Death Grips is good at getting those emotions going, if you listen to... let's say Jack Harlow, you're not really gonna feel much, and it's not an experience, but when you listen to Death Grips, you go through a lot of emotions and it's an experience you remember, like a rollercoaster
BOB this is so exciting. This here album was... a part of me during the isolation of the pandemic. I'm SO SO SO SO glad you're checking it out! DG and MF DOOM have really been important to me and you give them both the justice they deserve. No recommendations, but I wonder if there are any albums you might recommend to someone like ME who has only listened to Industrial/Hip-Hop and not listened to much Rock/Metal. Thanks for the amazing content, you're KILLING IT!
I have a whole series called Sunday Suggestions that you can follow. I suggested 'Dopethrone' by Electric Wizard today. If you like DG, you should check that album out
I don´t listen to much metal but here are some sugestions outside the hiphop realm: There are a lot of new cool post-punk albums mainly from the uk but from other places too. my recomendations are Black midi, squid and if you want something more jazzy and indie the go to is black country, new road (Their album Ants from up there might be my AOTY). Otherwise idk, I don't lislisten too a lot of metal and if I do listen to more rock oriented stuf it is usualy indie rock, punk stuff or shoegaze. bands from those genres I would recomend are (indie rock:) fleet foxes, the strokes, (punk:) Soul glo, Viagra boys, (shoegaze:) my bloody valentine and slowdive. Edit: I tried to chose newer bands or band with some newer stuff out, but with shoegaze it´s hard to not go with the classics. The strokes are also to grate not to leave in even though they are a bit of an older band that has not droped anything in two years. (The new abnoraml is so good tho.) If you end up wanting more suggestions holler at me, especially for shoegaze/dreampop stuff.
@@bobthepoppop I just came back to dopethrone recently and man that album is still fucking fantastic. also ^ jman would probably like Psalm 69, and maybe Ocean Machine as well
They released a clip on their instagram a few months ago for the first time since their last album, which could be a pretty good indicator of them coming back for another album and possibly a tour, but you never really know with them. I didn’t truly get into them until a couple years ago so I’m still holding onto hope that I can see them live someday, they’re something special.
Just stumbled upon your channel the other day. I've seen quite a few videos already, but I saw that you reacted to my favorite DG album and I had to really watch this one haha. I absolutely love the reactions to you listening to these songs for the first time.
I know the post you’re talking about at 6:51. Disclaimer, by the way, but please talk to someone if you’re having thoughts like these. I promise there are people that care about you. If I’m remembering correctly, the OP had been suicidal, and decided one night to go through with it. He dropped acid (or possibly some other psychedelic drug, though I’m fairly sure it was acid), put on some calming music on Spotify, slit his wrists, and laid in his bathtub, hoping to bleed out. Luckily, as he laid there and as the drugs kicked in, the calming music he put on ended, and the next song in the queue was (I want to think) Bubbles Buried In This Jungle, a Death Grips song off their album Bottomless Pit, and a song that just _starts._ Almost instantly, he panics, scrambles out of the tub, runs over to his neighbour’s house, and gets his neighbour to call him an ambulance. Years later, having received medical treatment and mental help (if that’s the wrong word please let me know), he goes into a convenience store for a snack, and as he’s perusing the aisles, he spots an African American male in a dark hoodie and jeans, whom he soon recognizes as MC Ride. He asks Ride something to the tune of “are you who i think you are?”, and he says “probably”. My recollection of this part is especially fuzzy but I’ll try my best to summarise. OP, overcome by emotion and not sure what to say, pulls up his sleeve, shows Ride the scars on his arms, and goes on to tell Ride how much Death Grips helped him and how their music saved him. Ride looks at the scars, then at OP, and tells him “don’t ever do that again”, and that it gets easier and so on. (Like I said, my memory here is fuzzy at best) I think after that Ride pays for his things and leaves, but I have virtually no recollection of the end of the story. I’m sure you can find the original post pretty easily by looking through the all-time top posts on r/DeathGrips. Honestly, I’d strongly recommend that you do, since my shitty retelling couldn’t come close to doing the original justice.
This is amazing after you have trained your ears i feel like you will enjoy this more than before also this album is top 2 in general from dg so happy you did this one first
I might just watch the reaction as a listen for the entire album, since I don’t have any plans to listen to this anytime soon and I am interested in this album :)
@@anathuu1124 it’s really good, not an easy listen tho so this album kinda stands alone from any of my likes or playlists. Something I would only listen to when listening to the album
Hope you get to see them this tour, I saw them in 2015 and they closed with I Want It I Need It. Its truly an experience and its fucking LOUD. Bring earplugs
Definitely need to get through the rest of the Death Grips discography when you can, really interesting batch of records. Would love to see reactions to Clipping which is in a similar but slightly softer industrial rap with great lyrics. Keep the great videos coming :)
@@bobthepoppop Their self-titled second album, CLPPNG, is ridiculously good. Noisy and industrial, like Death Grips, but more atmospheric, and Daveed is a very different rapper than MC Ride. Much more controlled and technical. Really cool album.
to me, i want it i need it is a satirical 'party song', i think the biggest indicator here is the line 'start to pondering r*pe'. he isn't dropping that line unironically. read the lyrics with this in mind and you might see it.
Holy shit this review is goated!! for sure my favorite death grips album and im so happy seeing someone enjoy it so much cause in my eyes it’s death grips at their best :) death heated and klink are my favorite songs off the album as well
hi!! hope you still read comments but they went on tour this year and i hope you got to go :) the show was insane! i traveled 3 hours to go to one of the shows.
I agree with your analysis that most of the album is about Death Grips referencing the music they make, not the literal interpretation of drug consumption. It's a double meaning of both black magic/drug consumption which they use to describe what they're musical experience is like
I know it's about Rumble but I'm just laughing at the idea of Jimmy Page rocking to Death Grips talking about how he loves the build of spread eagle cross the block.
man if you loved this album i cant wait to hear your reactions to their other albums. they're all completely unique from each other and so unpredictable
I'm loving this reaction and appreciate your willingness to react to artists most reactors wouldn't, great video and I would love to see a reaction to Undun by the Roots as well as The Powers that B by Death Grips (I feel this one could be your favourite since it has the most rock and metal influences out of all of their work)
There are a lot of new cool post-punk albums mainly from the uk but from other places too. my recomendations are Black midi, squid and if you want something more jazzy indie like black country, new road (Their album Ants from up there might be my AOTY). Otherwise idk, I don't lislisten too a lot of metal and if I do listen to more rock oriented stuf it is usualy indie rock, punk stuff or shoegaze. bands from those genres I would recomend are my bloody valentine, slowdive, fleet foxes and the strokes.
@@idektbh18 oops this reply was not met for you, but hey I do agree these albums are grate. Must of clicked the wrong comment, was sending this to a guy asking for sugestions outside the hiphop realm.
i love seeing the smile on your face whenever something crazy happens on the album. It's always cool to see someone who loves experimentation in music listen to something I love for its experimentation.
Album is crazy good. To this day Exmilitary sounds as fresh as the first time I listened to it. Looking forward to you eventually getting Noided to the rest of their discography.
I remember listening to this in high school when it first dropped and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Glad you are experiencing the same now. 👍 W Bob Pop
Bob disagreeing with the anotations reminds me of what makes these lines great. Every line has the potential to be about drugs, sex, society, homelessness, music and much more, all at the same time. Death Grips writes these songs very carefully.
they haven't done live shows in a while, since they haven't released music since 2018, they do appear to be working on more though, hopefully they will be on stage again soon.
I'm just now realizing that bridge in Klink he's saying "Minding my own business, minding my own business" I originally thought he was saying "My homie's dead, my homie's dead"
"Death-grip and death-grip syndrome (DGS) are slang terms for suffering adverse effects from one's aggressive and recurrent male masturbation technique, which result in an unsatisfactory experience when engaging in regular sexual intercourse with a partner." Found out the other day, after years of wondering about the bands name origin.
So glad to see you enjoy this one! I always get nervous when a Death Grips song happens to play in my car when I'm with someone who's never heard them before. Watching this reaction (and The Money Store) was kinda the same way lol. Maybe Bottomless Pit has moved up in your priority a bit...? And why not their whole discog while you're at it? Lmao in all seriousness, keep up the great work.
The sample on I Want It Need It is a pure orgasm ! Its Interstellar Overdrive from the first Pink Floyd album; The Piper At The Gates Of Down. love you bob
I'm not sure if they're going to do another tour but I saw them in August of last year, this video says it was uploaded a year ago so I'm pretty sure that was after this came out. Death Grips loves to say that they wont tour anymore and then a year later they do another tour, keep your eyes out and you may see them tour again!
Audio was a little off on this one (my mic was a bit low). I blame my ear. I did a sound check but when you're kinda deaf on one side, everything sounds fine? 🤷♂

It's not that of a hot take. Exmilitary is my second favorite album by DG after The Money Store
"I want it, I need it" guitar sample is actually from Pink Floyd's first album, and was made by Syd Barrett.

Years later, having received medical treatment and mental help (if that’s the wrong word please let me know), he goes into a convenience store for a snack, and as he’s perusing the aisles, he spots an African American male in a dark hoodie and jeans, whom he soon recognizes as MC Ride. He asks Ride something to the tune of “are you who i think you are?”, and he says “probably”.
My recollection of this part is especially fuzzy but I’ll try my best to summarise. OP, overcome by emotion and not sure what to say, pulls up his sleeve, shows Ride the scars on his arms, and goes on to tell Ride how much Death Grips helped him and how their music saved him. Ride looks at the scars, then at OP, and tells him “don’t ever do that again”, and that it gets easier and so on. (Like I said, my memory here is fuzzy at best) I think after that Ride pays for his things and leaves, but I have virtually no recollection of the end of the story.
I’m sure you can find the original post pretty easily by looking through the all-time top posts on r/DeathGrips. Honestly, I’d strongly recommend that you do, since my shitty retelling couldn’t come close to doing the original justice.
I have been WAITING!
This is amazing after you have trained your ears i feel like you will enjoy this more than before also this album is top 2 in general from dg so happy you did this one first
love seeing a bob upload after getting home from work. especially one of my fav albums
great reaction bro i really love how you delve into the lyrics and try and understand them and explain your thoughts!
I might just watch the reaction as a listen for the entire album, since I don’t have any plans to listen to this anytime soon and I am interested in this album :)
You'll miss parts
@@JC20XX I know but the ones I do like I can just listen to them on their own
@@super6070 how did you feel about it?
@@anathuu1124 it’s really good, not an easy listen tho so this album kinda stands alone from any of my likes or playlists. Something I would only listen to when listening to the album
@@super6070 their work is best experienced as albums, yes.
I've been waiting for this since the roundup yessss
i think Bottomless Pitt could bump Veteran's spot for favorite initial reaction
Really hoping too.
Is bottomless pit really a hip hop album? I guess.. But
Culture Shock has one of my favorite instrumentals ever, the instrumental alone is a masterpiece to me
YOU NEEEED TO VIBRATE HIGHERRR
The way you process music is some of the best on this platform
I really liked the running analogy with the beat. Death grips are one of my all time fav bands and your reaction was great
Dang, Known For It is one of my favourites. I love that sample and kick pattern in the chorus.
This album has aged insanely well. Love those stanky death grips boys, hyped to watch you take the journey.
It's so great seeing which samples someone recognises
Hope you get to see them this tour, I saw them in 2015 and they closed with I Want It I Need It. Its truly an experience and its fucking LOUD. Bring earplugs
I saw them this tour, they closed with Hacker and it went so hard. Would have loved to see them play I Want It I Need It
Only Death Grips album I enjoy honestly. raw and full of energy, yet very accesible
they're all amazing.
@@sajidvegas just my opinion , and I’ve tried
That's bizarre as fuck
There would be no Veteran without Exmilitary and Money Store.
Definitely need to get through the rest of the Death Grips discography when you can, really interesting batch of records. Would love to see reactions to Clipping which is in a similar but slightly softer industrial rap with great lyrics. Keep the great videos coming :)
Clipping likely happening in October 👍
@@bobthepoppop Their self-titled second album, CLPPNG, is ridiculously good. Noisy and industrial, like Death Grips, but more atmospheric, and Daveed is a very different rapper than MC Ride. Much more controlled and technical. Really cool album.
I never thought about it but Exmilitary songs have some fucking metal ass lyrics
44:44 I needed this inspiration. May sample it tbh.
I have had many spiritual moments in the middle of dg albums
Sample anything from my vids you like. You have full permission 👍
@@bobthepoppop I appreciate this. Also please listen to MIKE (rapper) and react to Clown Core - Van album/video
ofc its at 44:44 as well, palindromic number.
to me, i want it i need it is a satirical 'party song', i think the biggest indicator here is the line 'start to pondering r*pe'. he isn't dropping that line unironically. read the lyrics with this in mind and you might see it.
Holy shit this review is goated!! for sure my favorite death grips album and im so happy seeing someone enjoy it so much cause in my eyes it’s death grips at their best :) death heated and klink are my favorite songs off the album as well
Damn Bob, watching you react feel like my first time listening to albums. Amazing reaction!
I’m seeing them live tomorrow in Denver and I’m so fucking excited I hope they play some songs from this album.
HOUSE OF BALLOONS INTO EXMILITARY WE ARE EATING SO GOOD THIS MONTH
I’ll never forget listening to the first time in 2011. had no idea what was about to hit me. love the video.
They're still doing live shows, seeing them again in June, Outbreak Festival in Manchester UK :)
Bob, I love the way you explain things so much man. Keep it up
Great to see some more Death Grips reactions/reviews from you!
hi!! hope you still read comments but they went on tour this year and i hope you got to go :) the show was insane! i traveled 3 hours to go to one of the shows.
YEEEES, ever since I watched my first Bob Video I was expecting for this to come, thank you
I agree with your analysis that most of the album is about Death Grips referencing the music they make, not the literal interpretation of drug consumption. It's a double meaning of both black magic/drug consumption which they use to describe what they're musical experience is like
Nailed it!
I know it's about Rumble but I'm just laughing at the idea of Jimmy Page rocking to Death Grips talking about how he loves the build of spread eagle cross the block.
“Is it going?”
“IT GOES IT GOES IT GOES”
Ooh I love your image of Guillotine where the vocals are like someone fleeing and the beat is slower but doggedly pursuing them
Respect for even attempting death grips reaction lol
I AM SO FUCKING EXCITED TO WATCH THIS YOU HAVE NO IDEA
man if you loved this album i cant wait to hear your reactions to their other albums. they're all completely unique from each other and so unpredictable
Mystic Stylez last week and ExMilitary this week? I like it here 👍🏾
I got to see them this year in September! Best concert I've been to! Ride and Zach Hill live are different fucking animals dude
I want I need it actually samples Astronomy Domine and Interstellar Overdrive from Pink Floyd's first album, which itself is a trip
gotta do their whole discography now, yer in too deep bob
I'm loving this reaction and appreciate your willingness to react to artists most reactors wouldn't, great video and I would love to see a reaction to Undun by the Roots as well as The Powers that B by Death Grips (I feel this one could be your favourite since it has the most rock and metal influences out of all of their work)
There are a lot of new cool post-punk albums mainly from the uk but from other places too. my recomendations are Black midi, squid and if you want something more jazzy indie like black country, new road (Their album Ants from up there might be my AOTY). Otherwise idk, I don't lislisten too a lot of metal and if I do listen to more rock oriented stuf it is usualy indie rock, punk stuff or shoegaze. bands from those genres I would recomend are my bloody valentine, slowdive, fleet foxes and the strokes.
@@adamlagerqvist8111 Oh hell yh, I would also love to see reactions to them, those bands are great as well
I really wanna get to a Roots album. I still haven't heard any of their music yet.
@@idektbh18 oops this reply was not met for you, but hey I do agree these albums are grate. Must of clicked the wrong comment, was sending this to a guy asking for sugestions outside the hiphop realm.
i love seeing the smile on your face whenever something crazy happens on the album. It's always cool to see someone who loves experimentation in music listen to something I love for its experimentation.
i was very excited for this one, im very happy you enjoyed it as it is one of my favorite albums!!!
I really hope you have Bottomless Pit on your list
plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz
@@shoreZ I can tell your a big fan of that album
@@stratford1 yeah it's in my top 10 albums of all time lmao
@@shoreZ W me too
I was originally going to do Bottomless Pit, but got talked into doing this one instead.
Your comment about running from the beat was so spot on.
Album is crazy good.
To this day Exmilitary sounds as fresh as the first time I listened to it.
Looking forward to you eventually getting Noided to the rest of their discography.
I remember listening to this in high school when it first dropped and I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Glad you are experiencing the same now. 👍 W Bob Pop
bob recognizing rock samples is the coolest thing ever
Bob disagreeing with the anotations reminds me of what makes these lines great.
Every line has the potential to be about drugs, sex, society, homelessness, music and much more, all at the same time.
Death Grips writes these songs very carefully.
Excited to see you hopefully react to The Powers that B
they haven't done live shows in a while, since they haven't released music since 2018, they do appear to be working on more though, hopefully they will be on stage again soon.
I'm just now realizing that bridge in Klink he's saying "Minding my own business, minding my own business"
I originally thought he was saying "My homie's dead, my homie's dead"
"Death-grip and death-grip syndrome (DGS) are slang terms for suffering adverse effects from one's aggressive and recurrent male masturbation technique, which result in an unsatisfactory experience when engaging in regular sexual intercourse with a partner."
Found out the other day, after years of wondering about the bands name origin.
So glad to see you enjoy this one! I always get nervous when a Death Grips song happens to play in my car when I'm with someone who's never heard them before. Watching this reaction (and The Money Store) was kinda the same way lol. Maybe Bottomless Pit has moved up in your priority a bit...? And why not their whole discog while you're at it? Lmao in all seriousness, keep up the great work.
I’m so glad you loved I Want it I need it that much. Def the best on Exmilitary and one of their best tracks in general
bob you gotta listen to Clipping.!!!! Im sure you will love it
The sample on I Want It Need It is a pure orgasm ! Its Interstellar Overdrive from the first Pink Floyd album; The Piper At The Gates Of Down.
love you bob
I'm so happy you finally reacted to this. My heart is happy.
*sees a new Bob Death Grips reaction*
OH SHIT IM FEELING IT
I'm not sure if they're going to do another tour but I saw them in August of last year, this video says it was uploaded a year ago so I'm pretty sure that was after this came out. Death Grips loves to say that they wont tour anymore and then a year later they do another tour, keep your eyes out and you may see them tour again!
If they ever come back i wish they sample your laught its Just too perfect lmao
