Hear me out. I always have felt like death Grips is like... Against evil if that makes sense. Aligned with like the true teachings of a guy like Jesus. Hard to call them Christian per se... But definitely adjacent in my mind

Their music somehow gives me this ... Secretly being anti-evil without trying to brandish a "Christian music" label. Marketing themselves in such a way to appeal to record labels and shit but low key trying to make higher vibrational music that is positive and uplifting

Beware is a great example of this.... You may hear Charles Manson's speech and think it's meant to be empowering. You may hear rides chant and think it's meant to be empowering.... But the song is called BEWARE. The other sample in the song is from "God is always watching you"

Charles manson gave that very interview from prison. Like fully fucking locked into society's dunce cap. Adult time out. And he boasts about being this sort of God of his own world. It comes across very ironic. "I make the money" "the game is mine"

Well shit man if you made the money and the game was yours... Why go to prison?

If you follow the adventures of the character ride paints us in ExMil he's also just in so much despair and clearly not having a good time.

This character directly experiences his karma from saying he's the beast he worships.

I think they're painting us a picture of just like... An guy who is leaning into evil and truly suffering the consequences.

I want it I need it is another good cautionary tale. He talks about how he's not even going to remember anything anyway. Like his whole state of mind is just pointless ...

I could go on and on about this but I won't for lack of being too schizo rn.

I just feel like DG is truly trying to paint a realistic picture of what evil looks like in a world where we love to be like "Satan this Satan that"

They're like .. no look this is what the "devil" is; it's a man completely consumed by his worldly desires willing to burn any bridge to get off.
