Welcome to Part 2 of our full-discography deep dive on one of the most fascinating forces within hip-hop today: Death Grips. If you haven’t already, please go watch Part 1 first, where we go over our interpretations of what the experimental trio was trying to say on its 2011 debut mixtape Exmilitary. In this episode, we will be talking about how that hyperactive, noisy little project earned the band a major label deal, as well as the first of two inextricably linked albums which that deal helped produce. Welcome to The Money Store.

    Yes we made a nearly 2 hour video on Death Grips. I know the world is going through some really tough times, but you folks have all given so much love, so I wanted to really thank you all [Death Grips fans and overall Supporters] for giving us the motivation to cook this one up. It's hefty, and we felt it was necessary as this is an absolutely legendary album. As I mention in the video, treat this one like a long-form podcast episode. We hope you enjoy all the hard work Jakob and I put into this one.

    By the way, I'm not sure if you know, but the money store cover art is actually a drawing of a real picture! It's a picture from Folsom street fair
  • @chairmanmeow958
    How the fuck do you only have 9.5K subs? This channel is fucking incredible. I hope to see you blow up and get the exposure you deserve
  • @joojinho3931
    godamm 2 hours of content, thaks for the hardwork
  • @dankmemesdeaddreams2309
    One other interesting thing realted to the cover. In Beware, Ride sings "beggar on a bitche's leash", which is just a perfect description of the money store cover. Foreshadowing?
  • @indiepedal
    Above and beyond work here, lad. Great job!
  • @TuckerRash
    Great analysis man. Can't wait to see future videos in this series. So many interesting topics to unpack in all these albums.

  • @Exventory
    the fact that you put this much time into a great video and only have 7k is crazy to me. Awesome review of one of my favorite albums.
  • @clout_x_strife
    Barely getting into Death Grips and stumbled on your channel. Great analysis. I look forward to further deep dives into their catalogue.

  • @zinxzan9568
    this video is absolutely amazing! i love your analysis of ride’s lyricism, definitely great observations and an incredibly tight video all around! hope you end up doing no love and government plates too!
  • @DrowningUpsideDown
    Love this video. The one thing I found I really wanted was audio examples of what you were talking about. But I know youtube is weird about that. Great work :)
  • @goon4744
