As much as a rip on rap and hip-hop, I do like it. When it's done good. Unfortunately years of mainstream radio has ruined my opinion of a lot of this genre. And then I stumbled upon this album:
Death Grips is what they call "experimental hip-hop". Now fucked if I know what that actually mean, but if this is experimental, I love what the genre is experimenting with. To me, with my limited knowledge, it sounds like he's mixed his grimey and dirty sounding rap style (not as in dirty as in rude, but just his vocal style) with interesting beats. His beats go from random electronic buzzes and squawks, to using a lot of classical rock and 60's sounding pop samples. And that's the part that I love.
I download this a few weeks ago and I've been listening to it at least once a day, discovering new things about it and how much I love it. I can feel a big hip-hop resurgance in my listening trends soon.
And yes, being Friday (or at least in 2 hours) it's free on his website! Go to his website: http://thirdworlds.net/ scroll half way down, and click where it says Download Now!
I will say this, his music is way better than his web design skills. Way, way, way better.
