Exmilitary is the debut mixtape by experimental hip hop group Death Grips. It was released for free on April 25, 2011 through the band's website.
Nate Patrin of Pitchfork Media gave Exmilitary a 7.5, describing the album as a "a bludgeoning slab of hostility" that avoids being an "overbearing mess". Ian Walker of AbsolutePunk.net gave the album an 81% rating, calling it a "perfect example of an album everyone needs to experience for themselves". NME ranked Exmilitary as the 41st best album of 2011.

Death Grips is my happy music. For some reason whenever I feel secure and want to protect that feeling from crumbling (which always happens at some point, but it's 'right now I'm okay' that matters), I put on their music. It gives me kind of like a bird's pov on my imperfections, anger, madness and chaos. They all manifest themselves in the music, outside of my brain, and just sing for me. They don't pollute me, and instead free my head. I feel like it takes a lot of braveness and brains to conceive and then realize a project like Death Grips, not only cuz it's so groundbreaking and different, but also because not too many people can openly say or even come up with an idea that they need experimental, deafening, insane, straight up batshit crazy music to make them feel at ease. I was one of those people, and when I found this band, I felt understood without having to say a word. And for that, I thank you good sirs! :}

Sounds weird but this album and Bottomless Pit really helped me in a bad time. Just prior to 2020 I'd financially and emotionally exhausted myself trying to make a difficult relationship work, I'd worked hard and followed the rules all my life and was still in a position in which I couldn't even get a voluntary job working for local charities. So by the time lockdown rolled around I was broke, constantly angry and felt trapped 24/7. Then I discovered death grips and was like 'yeah this guy fucking gets it' and helped me power through and provided a warped motivational soundtrack as I slowly got my shit together. Having something that resonated that energy just really helped.

Video was auto-playing and this was the next up. It was late, roughly 4am and I had KZbin up in the background. I was gonna click off but I heard Charles Manson's voice at the beginning to I decided to give it a shot. First song BEWARE was so fucking fire, all of a sudden it was nearly an hour later, and I've listened to the whole album and dont remember what planet I'm on. 10/10, underrated.

Darth Fuhrer why are you taking my comment so seriously? I understand you need to defend your precious meme rap because you're a /mu/ warrior, but my comment was to be taken in a joking matter. I think DG is cool, but the whole fantano hype train kind of ruined them. I feel like people listen to them in order to stay in the loop of aesthetic meme culture

[@0bb81]

It's a reasonable question which you took seriously. If you're just listening to it for the sake of just listening to it then you're just admitting to the fact that you have no idea what the fuck your listening to. Were you trying to insult me with your comments? I have been listening to Death Grips since before i even heard of theneedledrop and it was actually through death grips that i was made aware of his channel. Also i don't use reddit or have ever visited its website so what are you saying? "The whole fantano hype train kind of ruined them for me" how ? because more people are listening to them ? the meme culture doesn't bother me because it literally has no impact on the quality of their music.
