Intelligent lyrics.

Most people don't
It's just /mu/ dickriders who copied a few silver lake/each park types who tried to act like they like it

The only people who honestly like death grips are the people who are actually genuinely weird in their day to day life... like Tyler the creator type people... as in the kids who lived like before he got famous and some powerviolence kids cause it's that same weird edgy experimental bullshit that you'll look back in 8 years and say wtf was wrong with me

Like for example I like some songs on the last album but not enough to cum on my own balls every time someone.mentions death grips

>>68311319
Super ghetto real trap music like from the 90s before it got all super good production commercial attention bullshit

Talk in like lil boskoe and cboy blue and shit like that
Like real gangbanging music by gangbangers

The shit you have to buy at the swap meet
Only blacks and white kids that grew up in black projects like myself listen to that shit

The only reason I got into Death Grips was because I simply didn't get it. I listened to Get Got and thought "What in the fuck is this? I don't understand. I'm going to listen to this music until I finally understand. it". Long story short, I became an unironic fan. I still don't get it either.

They Might Be Giants

So I would watch the whole "intelligent" thing bb

>>68311456
Yeah that's what I'm saying... It's a cheap tactic

Cause so much intregue by feigning critical acclaim that You make unwilling fans who are only so because they've become accustomed to your sound and it's just good enough to keep them entertained after the gimmick and shock of being weird goes away

Trust me that's what we used to do in Adeus
My high school scene called us a godsend to our shitty little desert town but I'm telling you we just made music for shock and awe

Kinda like this place is a zoo

To further what I'm saying
It's easy to get a mass of people to follow and believe and even Stan up for what you're saying I you say it with enough conviction
...

Watch I'll record a vocsroo right now with gibberish with self belief behind n words and do the same without and show you how self promotion within music works

It's the reason why the germs never garnerd as much success as they couldve

Because they enjoy the music, same reason anyone likes any other music, no mystery to it.

That is not my point at all you bongo.

The claim is that Death Grips is liked by white people because of intelligent lyrics, citing them mentioning a late 1600's novel (which is a really popular novel by the way). My counterpoint was that the band They Might Be Giants has also referenced this novel in their lyrics. This point is made because, while I like TMBG (and Death Grips too by the way), their lyrics, although clever and silly, are by no means intelligent, thus a reference to Faust is not solely a very good criteria for judging the intellectual merit of a song or music group's lyrical content.

Additionally, the post I quoted asked specifically "How many other artists reference late 1600's novels?" I gave an example.

I got into Death Grips on first listen when Exmilitary dropped and before I ever went on 4chan. Fuck me, right?
>>
Fundamentally, the main reason is that they just enjoy the music, and the fact that DG are memed a shit ton, but also, the fact that Death Grips is hip hop that isn't "black America's CNN," instead blurring the line between hip-hop and the instrumentation-based genres white people are stereotypically associated with, tend to grow up with, and love the most, said genre usually being rock and its subgenres in my experience may be the big subconscious reason why they like DG so much.
To expand further:
>experimental production and cryptic lyrical style caters to the average white person's, usually rock-catalyzed, desire for strange and increasingly eclectic instrumentation involving the use of voice as one of said instruments, along with stylized and quotable lyrics
>lyrical content provides the edginess of gangsta rap without actually being gangsta rap, therefore the music appeals to both the suburban white who eats up controversial edgy music and the white who can claim the music is artful and serves a stylistic purpose deeper than "just degrading bitches and hoes"
>music is hip hop that isn't rooted in the experiences, issues, and viewpoints of the inhabitants of impoverished urban black neighborhoods like most traditional lauded hip hop, so racial alienation from the music isn't an issue, ironically making the experimental the more accessible in terms of hip hop for Death Grips' white fans
But who knows, people are strange things anyway.

Because it makes LG the ghettonigger tripfag mad

>>68310794
People listen to Death Grips because of the production, not the lyrics.

Illusion of authenticity.
