GP is a conceptual album. It is a metaphor for how our addiction to technology is slowly ridding us of our free-will and humanity. Hence the really gradual decrease in Ride's presence on the album. It starts off with tracks like You Might Think where he's obviously the most frantic and present on the entire album, then from Feels Like A Wheel and onward his presence is slowly restricted and altered by the electronics (which is a metaphor for technology in real life).

The back end of GP's titles really add to this idea. Big House (metaphor for jail) "LA creepin under my skin" = LA (or any populace, security-camera riddled, technologically driven area) is prison. Bootleg (Dont need your help) is Ride's last fight before he ultimately gives into it on Whatever I want.

>Hand yourself over, remain calm I only plan to steal whatever I want
>fuck who's watchin

The entire track is told from the perspective of "the government" or "the governments abuse of technology to control mankind".

It's kind of funny when people's (fantano in particular) biggest qualm with the album is it's redundancy and repetitiveness. I personally think that was the point. The repetitive loops that encompass Ride's voice (which is in turn being bludgeoned to death by electronic alterations) drive home the point of this entire album.

Hence why GP's videos have such repetitive loops and sequences (aside from the first and last track which is convenient).

Except it literally isn't. How did you even come to that conclusion?
