[@R41ph3a7b6]

I heard this song at 1:10, Season 1 Episode 8 of, "The Gentleman."

[@ethanbaileylol2283]

What if we had a video of this where this all played out within the time that the song played in? No dialogue the whole time, just the song. We start out in a bando in the middle of a field, some woods out front. Everyone is chilling, cooking dope and loading guns. Daveed peels out the window, and bullets come back, a guy drops dead feet from him, and he drops back into cover. The hook could be a time where you see him taking everything in, looking at his dead friend and the holes in the wall. Right after, we cut to them pushing a couch up against the door. Daveed closes his friends eyes and turns off the lights, and grabs some rifles from a closet. Everyone is chilling in the kitchen when a phone on the counter rings, and bullets start ripping through the walls, moonlight showing from outside. We get a slow motion shot of a chandelier falling and shattering, with the lights on it blowing out as it hits the ground. 2-3 guys go down. You see in the next cut, Daveed running out the back door to the kitchen, through some trees. He hits a street where his car is there, and he starts speeding off as the sky starts to get lighter. He is being chased by people in a black beater with ski masks on. He tries to whip the corner too fast, and his whip flips. He’s trapped inside. The guys get out of the car and pour gasoline on his whip and start a fire. We see one masked man walk up through a POV shot through Daveed, as Daveed has his head out of the car window. He points his Glock at him, as the sun shows behind his head, like a halo. The man fires the gun, and the song is over. The End.

[@TKtheBardess]

plot twist the shooter is also Daveed. that'd prolly not fit with the actual theme, but seems cool. adds layer.

[@ethanbaileylol2283]

Clipping is such underrated hip hop group. Tbh I prefer clipping over death grips.

[@j.r.huffnstuff3549]

Clipping likes to incorporate abrasive sounds into a musically beautiful or atmospherically fitting song, along with Daveed's smooth lyrical rapping. Death Grips is all about fucking with sounds to be abrasive and go against what would be traditionally beautiful. Also, Ride is the visceral, emotional perspective of a deranged and paranoid dude on the streets. Daveed is like the omnipresent narrator in the story.

[@tyrannicalthesaurus4672]

Honestly, clipping. is one of the most interesting groups out there. I'd recommend checking out tracks like "Blood of the Fang", "Shooter", "Story 2", and "Inside Out". They have similar criptic raps that tell vivid stories over incredibly unique and immersive instrumentals.

[@Decroux3000]

@@tyrannicalthesaurus4672 Hey so, as someone who also never really listens to hip hop but is completely obsessed with Clipping, do you have any other artists to recommend?

[@tyrannicalthesaurus4672]

@@Decroux3000 it kind of depends on what you like about clipping. In terms of lyricism, Aesop Rock and MF Doom are two great picks. If you like the chaotic, industrial production of clipping, you might like a band like Death Grips, although they are admittedly an aquired taste. If you're okay with listening to more mainstream rap, I'd also reccomend listening to Kendrick Lamar.
