Death Grips - No Love Deep Web Album Review | Myke C-Town

We didn't see much point in doing another Death Grips album review. At this point, you can place a safe bet on how we're going to feel about any further material they release. However, since so many of you were asking for Myke C-Town's opinion on it, he decided to do a solo review of No Love Deep Web. Check it out.

[@junkyard31909]

is he wearing a fucking Emperor jacket? This dude isn't limited to hip-hop or any of its subgenres. That's on reason why I respect his opinion so much.

[@xlr8rify]

Hip Hop doesn't have to be full of rhymes and wordplay. It pisses me off when people say Death Grips isn't hip hop.

[@aspiresk8boarding]

+Xlr8rify Its totally filled to the brim with rhymes and wordplay tho

[@TruthAndReconciliation]

Calling it hiphop is deceptive though. If you want to put it in a genre whatever, but it's not like genres affect the sound of an album itself and NLDW is unique enough to not fit squarely in any genre.

[@radiosurgery1802]

You need to re-read the lyrics. MC Ride is a really, really talented rapper. The delivery isn't traditional but the lyrics are fantastic.

[@emmanuelmondesir1314]

there is a lot of clever but agressive poetry going on with Death Grips

[@VexRep]

They are experimental rap.

[@o.binwheelie9733]

Myke C-Town - "It's a dick"

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

The thing I love the most about this album was that it was gritty and abrasive in such a clean, streamlined way. I don't even know how they did it, and it doesn't really make any sense when you say it, but its fucking unreal.

[@mskcrc]

It's not clean or streamlined. It's coherent. Musically, it's not particularly challenging. "Lil Boy" and "Hunger Games" do some interesting things with phase shifts, but it's not so left-field that it's hard to listen to. If anything, the intensity and violence of his lyrics and mood are hard to listen to.

[@sneed8119]

[@SuperDuckPro]

I prefer the music and beats in The Money Store, but the vocals are better in No Love Deep Web, more passion and agression.

[@Wabaanimkii]

As a fan of many styles of music, I was able to appreciate Death Grips' style and abrasiveness much more than a casual listener. I remember seeing an interview with napalm death and the interviewer asked why the vocals were so grumbled and nasty sounding, but the lyrics were so well written. He compared them to poetry. The singer (I forget who it was at that time) Said "I have all these words, thoughts and feelings spinning around in my head. I'm trying to sing them, but how could you sing such angry words to peaceful music? How else would one sing this kind of music?". A paraphrase anyway. I think MC Ride is in the same boat.

[@somekid7]

I dig this review since NLDW is my favorite DG album, especially since it was more in depth than the usual "wow this is aggressive. stay noided" reaction-type reviews. How I interpret the "it's all suicide" line is that there are so many forces in the world that we accept in our daily lives, even though we know they're either killing us or just degrading our humanity. Cigarettes and other drugs/substances, for one. You could also think about how many of the things we consume today (cell phones, plastic) are coming back around to kill us by way of pollution, climate change and inhumane working conditions. Many of us are already aware of these truths, yet we continue to participate in it. So I really feel that line.

[@mykectown]

"Who's the photo of in the back, of the guitarist?" My good friend who passed away some years ago. And nah, I haven't heard Blackie's new album. Gonna have to look that up. But from your description it sounds like something I need to hear!

[@levelminusone]

8:42 - 10:22 exactly, it is not typical hip hop... they claimed themselves as a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision... and MC Rides lyrics are sometimes pretty over the top and in your face - but that's what it's like... and in my opinion it represents this whole atmosphere and sound really good...

[@bflagg94]

LeveL -1 "a conceptual art exhibition anchored by sound and vision" that's some pretentious ass bullshit

[@SaumBodhi]

+Swaggy Daddy Nah it just sounds pretentious. It's a description. Beyond words you have a thing. This thing is honest expression.

[@somekid7]

As much as I respect that type of conviction in an artist's vision, I suspect that Ride was in a different state of mind while releasing that statement long into the project. I suspect that their vision was probably different at the beginning, where it wasn't as intentional as the statement suggests. Still, I can see how in retrospect, that statement can still apply to an extent. Who knows, maybe Ride was always out there. I still suspect him to be someone who's experienced extreme dissociation and psychedelic awakenings and disturbing trauma which makes it hard to relate to his thought process, so I assume based on my frame of reference. I could be wrong.

[@outlet6018]

共产主义会赢 it sounds pretentious but it makes sense

"Shocking art is a tactic found in Dadaism." YES!!! Thank you, sir!

[@matthew56nights]

I really like this solo review, espeically from Myke. I dunno, I always hold his opinions higher than the others considering his knowledge on music and how deep his taste in music delves.

[@stevenrivera9230]

is that Elliott Smith in the picture in the frame in the backround?!?! PLEASE TELL ME!!! It shows me you are a fuckin cool ass dude. Elliott Smith to Death Grips? AMAZING!

[@mykectown]

Thanks for the comment. Preciate that.

[@six65532one]

gotcha, well if anything new comes out and strikes you, it'd be really cool to hear your thoughts on it, I'm saying this and made the first comment because of how you in this review say that you like the more abrasive side of Death Grips

[@WASAAAAAAAAAABI]

Yes! I was waiting for you guys to review this!

[@89whodatcha]

This is only death grips album I can listen to front to back without skipping ...I like the money store too but I like this one way more. The highs on this one are higher for me than "TMS".

[@IKB79]

highs are higher but the lows are lower imo

[@nickguyone]

exactly, like i prefer listening to money store all the way through, but come up and get me and no love are probably their best songs.

[@IKB79]

Nick Aguilar Deep Web is also up there in my favs, but yeah, exactly.

[@WaseLannos]

thx Mike for reviewing this album.. I respect your taste in music and expressing your opinion with music other than what's considered traditional hip hop.. I love the album.. Death Grips has become one of my fav groups in recent years and it's cool to see another brotha who can enjoy music outside the norm of what black ppl are "suppose" to listen to.. bless

[@DoelowDaPilotman]

AND DEATH GRIPS KNOW ME

[@gmabrahamsonable]

Your selves are 2mg's away from caving in, bro.

[@BackOnMyBullish]

A little unrelated, but sorry for your loss, Rod. Hang in there man. I'd like to apologize on behalf of all the other impatient fans who had been rushing you guys. Keep doing what you guys do! You guys put me on to a lot of really good artists. You guys are much appreciated.

[@riseandshine5706]

Glad to hear what you think about deathg grips albums. Nobody really understands them enough to enjoy it, so it's good I hear another well thought out opinion.

[@LidlFisken]

Dude, I'm just saying REALLY consider puttin up solo reviews on your own youtube channel And review whatever you feel like, I for one would watch that You're good at this, keep up the good work

[@SarBChild]

of course! LMFAO. Im surprised that Feefo didn't feel at least 1 cut from it(like Stockton, Bass Rattle Stars in the Sky, and No Love)!

[@mykectown]

Thanks, man. I really appreciate that. The scene with the TV turning on by itself was cut. All-in-all, I guess it was really not a very important part. B cut it to make room for more of my rambling.

[@Zombiepizza88]

That Whitehouse mention tho. Godflesh in the building?

[@ghostmomparasiempre]

I love your reviews because you use the wackiest examples that actually make sense. They get me thinking about stuff in a way I wouldn't have otherwise.

[@mykectown]

I never saw that. Cool, man. Thanks for telling me about that. I'll have to look that up!

[@DarkFacet]

Emperor?

[@mykectown]

Thanks, dude. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@mykectown]

Not sure yet. We're discussing it. Trying to play catch up right now.

[@Morbidreich86]

Cool seeing you do a solo review, and that Emperor patch is awesome, one of my favorite bands in metal.

[@raider4llf]

Hey Myke, the corniness of "World of Dogs" ('it's all suicide...") I feel is the point of that song. Just like you say you sort of laugh at it but then the next song is "I got some shit to say just for the fuck of it" which I feel is talking about how suicide threats are taken from people who are so depressed and saying these things but not actually doing it (not killing themselves). But then the concept is completed at the end of the album with "Artificial Death in the West." Awesome album

[@ericmsandoval]

Solid review. You always did have a more colorful taste than the other guys,

[@CalmMello]

Myke is the most honest analysist that gives great perspective. Keep brining that shit man, thanks!

[@SarBChild]

Awesome review. U mean to tell me that the rest of the crew didn't feel this project? At least 1 cut from the project?

[@mykectown]

Thanks, man. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@mykectown]

Yessir. At least for now. Moving in a month.

[@Sedrick]

This video was great, Myke! I also liked this album more than The Money Store. I'm all excited now -- I'm sure we're about to get mainlined with videos in the inc. days.

[@LouieAbstract_nyc]

Hey great video, also just wondering when you are going to review good kid maad city

[@WEANSTWO]

Myke C-Town is the most experimental listener of DEHH. Nice review, even know I can't listen to Death Grips. Can you guys review Murs & Fashawn - This Generation

[@sblang1]

I don't think any record has ever rocked me to the core as intensely as NLDW. Holy fuck this thing is badass. I'm really glad you spent that much time talking about the first track. That one was my favorite as well and the pacing, lyrics, exasperation, and the way it set the scene for the rest of the album was amazing.

[@totheboyelis]

Cool to see you chilln at home. Great review. I see you still got those old ass CD shelves from 1995, lol. Whatchu talking about, you don't like Whitehouse?! You need to get hip to that shit son.

[@superQman600]

to be honest i like when you guys review together the most. You guys are super funny together and i like to hear all you guys opinions on one vid.

[@mykectown]

Why did you waste time leaving this comment when it would seem like basic sense that we would review Good Kid MAAd City?

[@6bamf666666]

forget solo, review with theneedledrop, you guys are both really insightful and you'd bring some much needed flavor to his channel

[@hericiumcoralloides5025]

C-Town you know your shit. When I was in my late teens I was deep into industrial and noise and I fucked with Whitehouse a bit, although too many listens really screws with your head and is probably unsafe for your mental health. Anyways, I agree. Death Grips never really got to me, although it should considering my widely varied taste in music including the very harsh, but I do GET it and for those into DG, No Love Deep Web definitely won't disappoint.

[@herakuzi]

Yeah I would. You guys seem like 4 intelligent and musically inclined individuals and it would be nice to hear your in-depth thoughts about an album in your own way. Kinda like how Needledrop does it.

[@zosodude13]

NLDW feels like the structure of Takyon mixed with the sounds of System Blower. I really like it a lot. You mentioned how this was the album you were waiting for in terms of it's abrasiveness and primal energy. But what about the tracks with the pseudo-psychedelic vibes, like Artificial Death and Pop? Did they take anything away from the sub-sonic sludge of the rest of the album for you?

[@LukeLastname103]

Great review man, I preferred the money store over this but I still liked it, btw you guys gonna review POS's new album?

[@MasterAckrovan]

Sorry to hear about your loss Rod :( Really sucks, hope you're doing okay bro.

[@bassoonistfromhell]

This album took some time to grow on me. The Money Store is still my favorite album of theirs, but No Love Deep Web has really begun to make an impression on me. Also on The Money Store album review, Myke introduced me to Techno Animal so thanks Myke for giving me more interesting hip hop.

[@mykectown]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@Graveraider666]

dude is that an EMPEROR patch on ur cardigan?? soooo badass

[@soranaru]

Loved the Whitehouse reference, didn't expect that. Death Grips always reminded me of Whitehouse a bit too.

[@StokeCityFC44]

myke you should review albums outside of the hiphop genre on another channel in this format...really enjoyed this :)

[@IllaFoRilla]

awesome review man!

[@spidakid72]

Hope everything is well with you MM. My condolences.

[@davidjlosi]

Great overview of NO LOVE DEEP WEB, Myke C-Town! Thanks!

[@mykectown]

Wow! Yeah, it actually is. Of Lakshmi. Respect right back at you for noticing that.

[@eazy21486]

Nice Emperor patch man! I first thought it was an actual emperor sweater.

[@ThatRandomIdea]

nice, I like this! You guys should do more solo reviews of stuff you're more passionate about(:

[@joshperry3367]

Fuck yeah. That would be great. But I really hope it wouldn't infringe upon the discussion reviews. Maybe you all could do quick individual reviews on your channels and then come together for the discussion reviews on this channel.

[@JunkyardGod89]

Who's the photo of in the back, of the guitarist? Nice review as well btw, I still sorta prefer Exmilitary and The Money Store, but I'm kinda happy that they took a step in a darker direction again - World Of Dogs has been stuck in my head for weeks. And btw, you heard B L A C K I E's latest album, Gen? He sounds like he's about to commit suicide on that, dark as hell.

[@mykectown]

Not sure about that. I don't really have a lot of time as it is. And every time I say I'm gonna do something it takes me forever for me to come through on it. Just ask any of the guys. But we'll see what happens in the future. I kinda like arguing with the fellas more than staring at a camera by myself with my cat looking at me like I'm crazy.

[@halyomorpha]

I was kind of surprised when the rest of DEHH didn't review this with you. It seems so much more toned down to me in beats, while Ride sounds more wild. It seems different in many areas from the previous two albums for me. For some reason. At any rate, great review. One can wonder what they'll do next without a record label restricting them.

[@BadToDaBonesBoy]

Watched Needledrop's review over GKMC, watched HipHopCultureTV's review, now ready to hear what DEHH has to say!! Good review Myke!

[@FlintSL]

good review myke, I agree with your favourite tracks. Lock Your Doors and No Love are fantastic

[@xDARM3Rx]

Good review! But im not sure what you mean by you thought the vocals were unfocused

[@PCHDX]

What's good about Come up and get me as well is the fact that you don't know if the threat outside exists or it's all just a game in his head. I like to think that it's him fighting with himself and being self aware that you are losing your sanity.

[@eightpace]

Myke, I saw that comment about getting other Ken into Black metal... Wow suprised you listen to that stuff. I suggest starting Ken off with hard rock such as Alter bridge as they are quite lyrical and have pretty good wordplay, such as the song "blackbird". What do you think of them, just wondering :)

[@dyrelldoobie2666]

I really enjoy the Emperor patch on the cardigan.

[@bravetherainbow]

Man, C-Town, I agreed with everything you said in this review. I'm definitely enjoying this album more than The Money Store. I dunno if I think they've topped Exmilitary yet though. Looking forward to seeing what they bring in the future, but until then I'll keep listening to and processing the stuff they've come out with so far.

[@Crow667]

Great review!

[@ChangeOfPaceHiphop]

Myke.... you keep my faith in Hip Hop and human intelligence alive...

[@mykectown]

Oh man...that would be an hour's worth of rambling. That shit is so fucking good.

[@six65532one]

could you start doing metal reviews? cause you've talked about how you listen to it before and I'd be interested to see you review some stuff outside hip hop

[@zodd2989]

Who knew that he was an Emperor fan, but in all seriousness great review man

[@25bdizz]

Damn, great job Myke, you done this before? Lol thought you explained everything w/ great detail, and it stayed entertaining the whole way through. Btw, wheres the ghost man, didnt your tv turn off or something? And before i go...i'm sorry to hear about your loss Rod, we've all been there, only thing i can say is stay strong.

[@jlhyz2]

"Hunger Games" is my favorite track on here. His lyrics are off the wall on that one and that beat is such a banger it's slow and dirty but it's just so heavy.

[@kevinlester2609]

nah "Stockton"

[@Peytonsbeard]

myke id really love to see you guys review LIL UGLY MANEs mixtape MISTER THUG ISOLATION. I gotta good feeling youd like if you dont already, but I think it could be a good review from all you guys.

[@mykectown]

Hey, thank you for taking the time to watch!

[@addnh]

Solid review Myke! I'm totally with you in that NLWD has got the harder, crazier noise and chaos that I love about Death Grips. Since I know you dig metal, I gotta ask if you dig Pig Destroyer? Their newest album, Book Burner, shotguns your ears full of unrelenting crazy noise and chaos. Check it out - peace.

[@donekiltem]

as long as the amount of group videos doesnt reduce too bad, it would be cool

[@hansdado]

woah myke is dressed just like punpun

[@mykectown]

Thanks, broski. That means a lot.

[@soludsnak]

solo reviews would gives more exposure to a certain artist that wouldn't otherwise make it onto the group review sessions. I think it'd be a good idea if someone's jonesing to shout out on youtube to a certain artist and if M Media is alright with all of the extra editing.

[@jackdanyuhls]

Good stuff, what dd you think of Stockton? A lot of people thought it was the weakest on the album.

[@bravetherainbow]

I want to see a video of MC Ride sitting down and explaining the lyrics of "World of Dogs" to Myke.
