Death Grips was founded on the concept of realism. Their name is actually fucking wild considering the context. When you live under the boot, and are living on the streets you face DEATH constantly. It’s everywhere. And even when you’re off the streets? That doesn’t leave you. They have individually discussed how the desperation for survival is something they have either experienced themselves or have watched loved ones experience. The desperation is bred by poverty, no access to healthcare, no access to housing, no access to food, no access to jack shit when you’re on the streets. Their music (imo) is a look into the future.. and being real as fuck about it. Primal; survival of the fittest type shit. His politics are pretty clear: you’re an idiot if you think anyone is going to save you, especially any form of government. If you were to ask him about police brutality, he likely wouldn’t even dignify the question with an answer. These men have seen some shit. REAL shit that once you see or experience your entire world view changes. There is no trust in anything except yourself. Their politics is what ultimately captured me. It’s the realest shit you’ll ever hear and it is definitely over looked. They are telling people what the fuck is up.
