Can someone give a specific example of Kanye copying Death Grips?
>>48381531Yeezus
>>48381535Care to back that up :)
>>48381551Yeezis

>>48381551CARE TO BACK THAT ASS UP PUSSYBOI XD
no because I don't care
>>48381581Ok thanks for your contribution
>>48381596your* welcome
>>48381531Given Kanye's taste and what Yeezus sounds like, he was probably more influenced by Dalek than DG
>>48381569OP here. /mu/ is totally right. This sounds like Death Grips but with the voice sounds like it comes from an insecure pussy
>>48381531pretty much all of on sightthe yelling in black skinhead is straight out of lock your doorsthe entire look he goes for as a gritty "black skinhead"all the shit about not being apart of the systemall the paranoia about the governmentpretty much all of yeezus
>>48381612No, completely wrong. Where is the acid house in Dalek? What are the chances that Kanye (a man with a long and sorry history of hopping on the dick of whatever rock band is cool to like at the moment) would ignore the media coverage of Death Grips's publicity stunts, their rave reviews, their giant fanbase, and instead dive into some fucking obscure borderline backpack rap who's been producing music for more than a decade to literally zero mainstream attention? And he coincidentally decides to take this bizarre interest in Dalek's music just around the same time Death Grips start getting really popular? Bullshit.
>>48381849Proof? :)
>>48381914heres some proof. take a look at this video. skip to 0:25https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuhl6Ji5zHMtake note of how the yell he begins doing echoesnow listen to thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VxNZswJRZsthats lock your doors made by death grips a year before yeezus. skip to 3:00he starts to yell at 3:06notice anything?
If Kanye copied Death Grips, than Death Grips copied dalek. You're a dumbass if you think creating music from the same subgenre is copying
>>48382005I notice someone whos so fucking paranoid that they begin to fool themselves into their own conspiracy theories.
>>48382005I notice what a faggot you are
I've got an example. The heavy breathing on the intro to Black Skinhead is nearly identical to the heavy breathing on the intro to I've Seen Footage.Now I'm not saying this is the worst crime in the world, but it's hard to deny that Kanye didn't nab the idea from Death Grips.
>>48382102>>48382125
yes everything death grips produced came completely outta fucking no where zero inspiration right, they were born with that music in their heads
>>48381531Kanye didn't copy Death Grips, they weren't the first ones to release shit like that
>>48382125Why did you post this? Seriously, why did you type this in and post it to the internet? I'm not even that guy but this is such a lazy and boring thing to say. It's not clever or interesting or, or fucking anything. this is not a refutation, this you admitting that you are too stupid to think of anything to reply so you're just going to go with an insult insteadhere, I'll do you one better: you are a retard. you are a retard who does not know how to argue, you do not even know how to insult people. the only thing you know how to do is post your meaningless comments on internet that do nothing and say nothing, because you are not capable of thought or criticism or entertainment or anythingfuck you faggot
>>48382102stay noided :)
>even comparing Death Grips to the literal GOAT of GOATsplease
>>48382005Both songs also have a beat, playing behind a black person rhythmically delivering lyrics. Did you notice that?
>>48381531i don't think kanye copied death gripsi do think it's lame how bad the lyrics on yeezus arei do think it's lame that i was all ghost-producedi do think it's lame he didn't write all his own lyricsi do think it's lame how chief keef was only on one song
>>48382005I notice modulated yelling, you delusional loser.
>>48382005>EEEEEEEHHHHHHH>*silence*>EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHH>leather jacketcringed man, never realized how autistic kanye was
>>48382102>>48382125Both needledrop, deadendhiphop and Robert Christgau mention West must have heard Death Grips.
>>48382365what lyrics didn't he write?
>>48382005The "Kanye copied Death Grips" thing is dumb shit but oh my godthank you for introducing me to that Kanye SNL performance. That was fucking killer.
>>48382394Proof? :) & do they have proof too? If not, they're just as pathetic as you /mu/ faggots
>>48382394And thus, Kanye listened to Death Grips. Case closed. Thank you, internet vloggers and washed up music journalist.
>>48382415i don't know which specific songs but it's no secret kanye hasn't written his own lyrics for a whilegoogle itghost writers in the industry generally keep that shit secret, so the only person who's admitted to ghost writing for kanye is consequence, there might be more who have come forward who i haven't heard ofkendrick lamar and freddi gibbs ghostwrite for a lot of big mainstream artistsnas uses ghostwriters now (jay electronica and m-1 from dead prez), but he used to ghostwrite a lotbiggie ghostwrote for different bad boy artists, including lil kim's entire first albumghost writing is a huge part of mainstream hip hop
>>48382442yeah pretty much every major media outlet noticed that he ripped off DG. what is delusional is people actually like it when it just >>48381612he is a complete poser.
>>48382421Ohhhh I see.:)>>48382442They listen to the music bub. You don't have to agree, just don't be so stubborn
>>48382421lol go back to reddit and listen to kid cudi and chief keef all day faggot
kanye west has more talent in his left finger nail than death grips and all their countless knock offs could ever dream of having put together
>>48382305Why did you post this? Seriously, why did you type this in and post it to the internet? I'm not even that guy but this is such a lazy and boring thing to say. It's not clever or interesting or, or fucking anything. this is not a refutation, this you admitting that you are too stupid to think of anything to reply so you're just going to go with an insult insteadhere, I'll do you one better: you are a retard. you are a retard who does not know how to argue, you do not even know how to insult people. the only thing you know how to do is post your meaningless comments on internet that do nothing and say nothing, because you are not capable of thought or criticism or entertainment or anythingfuck you faggot
>>48382575>kanye west>talentpick one, his best album is the one where he shows the world how much of a huge prick he is
>>48382604Why did you post this? Seriously, why did you type this in and post it to the internet? I'm not even that guy but this is such a lazy and boring thing to say. It's not clever or interesting or, or fucking anything. this is not a refutation, this you admitting that you are too stupid to think of anything to reply so you're just going to go with an insult insteadhere, I'll do you one better: you are a retard. you are a retard who does not know how to argue, you do not even know how to insult people. the only thing you know how to do is post your meaningless comments on internet that do nothing and say nothing, because you are not capable of thought or criticism or entertainment or anythingfuck you faggot
>>48382626>kanye west>no talenthate him all you want, he's the best there is right now and everyone with half a brain knows it
>>48381531well death grips make shit albums so kanye decided to copy them and make a shit albumthats how
>>48382575>death grips and all their countless knock offs cYeesus is counted among those knock offs and you are completely wrong.Is this bait? I still can't believe anyone here likes Kanye West. It is worse than the time everyone decided to like Keisha. Do you all just have a secret meeting or whatever where you decide which corporate pop star you are going to pretend makes good music so that you can listen to them and jerk your diminutive pleb dicks publicly under the guise of pseudo-sophistication thinking we can't all see your flaccid shame? or are just in bed with pitchfork?
>>48382199Everyone sleeping on an actual specific example
>>48382365>complaining about ghost-producingThat's been going on for mainstream rappers since the fucking nineties. At least Kanye has the talent to direct those producers in the best way possible, Dark Fantasy perfectly illustrates that. Ghost producers shouldn't even irk you at this point.
>>48382725>using corporate as an insultyou're really cool and anti mainstream wow
>>48382744>Ghost producers shouldn't even irk you at this point.what a cop out. You probably think The Big Bang Theory is a good show too and not a soggy turd>>48382788how is it not an insult? it's like you are calling me a hipster cause I think Mc Donalds has gross food. It's shit made for mass appeal in cheapest way possible.John Mayer has more artistic integrity, talent, and better music than Kanye West.
>>48381569Yeah.. I don't hear it, Also>KanYeThat takes me back
>>48382882>yeezus was made for mass appeal LOL
>>48382927right, it is such an anti-commercial album that he sold the songs on it to tv commercials.
>>48382927>thinking yeezus wasnt made for mass appealwho the fuck was it made for then? all that bullshit about being against commercialism was a trick to sell white t shirts for 50 dollars and an album he made in like 2 months
>>48382978lel kanye fags getting BTFO all over this thread>>48382927
>>48382978I didnt call it specifically anti commercial. What i'm saying is if he wanted to maximize sales he wouldn't have made an album like yeezus
>>48382882>failing at comparisons this hard>ad hominems up the ass>implying John Mayer isn't corporate when he runs a fucking cruise liner he plays shows on>integrityI think it's time to stop listening to what you have to say.
>>48382978and you're still using "anti-commercial" like it's some kind of badge of honor. It's fucking stupid. I don't care how successful and rich he is if he makes good music
>>48382744my post fucking explained that it's been part of mainstream rap from the 90s>>48382475why do you want artists to not get credit for their work and other artists to get credit for shit they didn't do
>>48382927>shitty lyrics>trying to capitalize on the noise hip hop trend>featuring shitty buzz rappers like chief keef>putting it on commercialstop kek you delusional dickrider
ITT: kanye fags getting BTFO
>>48382927literally this >>48383132
>>48383132>not liking chief keepunderstandable but you're missing out
>>48383035John Mayer likes making music more than he like making money. That is not true about Kanye West.
>>48383081I want albums to be the best they can be regardless of crediting other people. Kanye ghost produced tons of shit before Yeezus, I think he understands the industry a lot better than you do.
>>48383159woah woah who said i didn't like chief keef?i enjoy some of his songs, but you gotta admit he's pretty shitty
>>48383160You obviously missed the part about his cruise line, I'm pretty sure John Mayer likes making money as much as anyone else that charts the top 40.I doubt Kanye West doesn't like making music either since, by your logic, his solo albums after Graduation have been his lowest selling releases in his discography therefore making them musically superior to his other works.
>>48383132>capitalizing on the noise hip hop trendthe general public has no idea what noise hip hop is, if he wanted the most money he wouldn't have made anything like yeezus
>>48382102https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fSkq9FBdCuo :^)
>>48383234>if he wanted more money he wouldve made something else>the general public has no idea what noise hip hop issince no one knows about noise hip hop people who know kanye would be like "WOAH THIS IS BADASS. ITS LIKE HIP HOP BUT ALL ROUGH AND EDGY." thus selling a ton of albums cause of this "new" thing kanye is doingits typical marketing
>>48383234but the thing is the general public would think he's an innovator
>>48383269except people were generally alienated by yeezus and are often embarrassed to admit they like it if they do enjoy it
>>48383301lol what? where the hell do you live. every music website alive gave that album like 4/5, 9.5/10 etc. hipster faggots praise that album left and right just cause its kanye
>>48383297if kanye west did have a #1 noise hip hop single it's arguable that he WOULD have been an innovator for having brought that style to the mainstream when no one else had before
>>48383035someone try and explain to me why Kanye West is more talented than John Mayer, I don't see it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh4Se60-u44>>48383233I'm not saying he doesn't like money, I'm saying that this is completely true:>>48383160. John Mayer actually gets off on creating music. He doesn't give a shit what people think about it or him, cause he is confident in what he makes and enjoys it. Kanye is the complete opposite. Kanye creates music for external rewards from the public; he is whore. John Mayer creates music because he is actually creating his own happiness. Just compare a JM concert to a KW concert. They will both do some talking, but they are vastly different.
>>48383343Kanye's black fanbase slept on Yeezus while most white people love it
>>48383343i'm not talking about review sites son i'm talking about the general public. Most average joes were really put off by yeezus. and hipsters don't like it, they hate it. that's illustrated pretty well here. People praise it because it's good, not because it's kanye. Just listen to the music i mean how can you not like Yeezus if you like kanye, the production is sick even if some of the lyrics are lacking. but i don't even mind the lyrics my self
>>48383393lol why do you think kanye has a black fanbase? It's 2014
>>48383413>>48383393do either of you even know any black peoplemost young black people i know like at least some kanye and a lot of them liked yeezus
>>48383404sometimes Kanye lyrics are so bad they magically become amazing>Got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec BaldwinI chuckle every time I hear it
>>48383404>how can you not like Yeezushow can you like Yeezus if you have heard Death Grips? It reminds me of this guy I knew who though Bush was better than Nirvana. It's fucking funny.
>>48383384You really don't think Kanye doesn't get off on making music?>He doesn't give a shit what people think about it or him, cause he is confident in what he makes and enjoys itThat describes Kanye more than anyone. have you even listened to his albums without being determined to fault it from the start?
>>48383448Look bro i get it that you like death grips and you feel like Yeezus is a rip off, but that has no effect on my opinion of yeezus. I listen to it, and I enjoy it. that's all i really care about, so it's a good album to me
>>48383404>the production is sick>most average joes were put off>its goodyour literally the ignorant fool if you think the production on yeezus is good>>48383457alot of people here really like MBDTF, yeezus got shittier and shittier with each listen.>>48383448>how can you like yeezus if youve heard death gripsliterally this, theyve done everything kanye pretended to do on yeezus for real and 10 times better
>>48383493yeezus got better and better for me with each listen actually. MBDTF was good, and so was the college dropout, late registration, and graduation. all of those albums have great songs on them. he's been consistently great for over a decade
>>48383457>He doesn't give a shit what people think about it or himthat is the exact opposite of kanye west. just look at any interview he gave when Yeezus dropped. You don't go around telling people you are a genius unless you want them to think you are one. If you literally didn't care, you would not rant about how great you are to everyone.John Mayer is opposite of that. He doesn't care what anyone thinks about him because he knows he is a good guitar player and that is all that matters to him. He even jokes about it.
If Yeezus is a rip off why did pitchfork rate it higher than any DG release?
>>48383384>comparing live footage of a white guy playing blues licks to a producing geniusOf course they are vastly different, you're comparing apples to oranges hereJohn Mayer isn't doing anything new or innovative at all with his music, deconstructing his guitar playing would tell you that. There's more to music than just being happy all the time, a lot of enjoyment I get from listening to Kanye West is that his lyrics directly come from his personal life and what he really believes in. Kanye isn't a rapper by any stretch of the imagination but he says what he wants to say and truly doesn't give a shit about the consequences, how is that not a display of confidence?
>>48382696thats just because they don't have a whole brain to think more logically
I've got one for you OPKanye West - New Slaveshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dT3swdCJrrg0:04-0:13compare that toDeath Grips - Bewarehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qxa91EwFco&t=5m48s5:48-endKanye comes in on the beat similarly to how MC Ride does on the track the end of that one flows into, Guillotine:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Orlbo9WkZ2E
>>48383530>kanye has been great for over a decadeopen your eyes, kanye is a hack and he survives cause of blind dickriders like you
>>48383536if he really gave a shit about his credibility to the public he would have never made albums like yeezus and 808s. He makes what he wants to make. the fact that he's usually successful and full of himself doesn't make his music worse
>>48383590no, i think i'll keep listening to kanye west. I like him and his music
On a real note Blood on the Leaves gets better every time I listen to it.
>>48383618
>>48383783I want a framed Bailey Jay poster ;~;
to bad death gRIPs is fucking dead
>>48383826
>>48381573
When I was listening to Yeezus I too thought it shared abrasiveness similar to Death Grips.I don't understand why /mu/ is bringing it up NOW, Yeezus came out a year ago
>>48383546the point wasn't to show him playing blues licks, It was to show the passion clearly visible when he was making music. Kanye doesn't have the same joy from music. I he did he wouldn't spend so much time at his concerts ranting about how great he is or which company won't give him money, because he would respect and enjoy the music that he would not feel the need to waste time like that at a show.When Kayne does preform it is embarrassing. you can hear it all over yesszus. he doesn't even have the gumpton necessary to muster the delivery that was needed on the vocals cause he is such a pussy and can't commit to the part. it is cring worthy to watch, like a bad actor on stage. It is completely unconvincingI think it is hilarious that there are people who think kanye west has made any good music at all, but I think it is downright surreal that there are people who think he is better than death grips. Like someone could literally listen to Black Skinhead and then Black Quarterback and think that the former was better.
>>48384170this>>48384118people have been talking about this since yeezus came out. dumbasses like OP just cant accept the yeezus sucks ass
>>48381569reminds me of chemical brothers
is it true that death grips disbanded?
>>48383034lol bullshit. he's the darling of wannabe hipster 15yos everywhere, where as before it would just be the plebbiest of plebs paying attention to him. he's expanding and to a market that's more likely to buy his music.
people are obsessed with Yeezus sounding like DG.It sounds slightly like it so it might have influenced it, get over it
>>48385303>why are people talking about music on a music board
>>48385303do you not think that a complete style change that coincidentally conceded with when a indie band blew up massively and were pretty hip for a while shows a lack of artistic integrity? i could understand maybe enjoying it on some level. if you ignore the lack of ideas behind the album and just enjoy it because you like to hear it, for whatever reason. but the people who laud kanye as an artist are stupid.
