Awesome! Now that I think about it, I never really checked out any of his older shit, aside from a few YouTube videos. That should keep me more than happy 'till that new lp drops.

Oh man, I loved how similar it was to 3-6. That's the same reason I love Krucifix Klan & Evil Pimp's stuff. But SGP was young, exciting, and was mixing all sorts of Mortal Kombat and Godzilla samples into his beats and shit, and he was pretending that all his albums were recorded in the 90's - it was brilliant.

I don't mind a little lo-fi horrocore ether, hell, I bump EVOL (Detroit rapper) and old Inner City Posse/House of Krazees all the time. I think SGP really fit in on that level.

I feel like I need to give SGP another chance.

I'm not certain of any of their names except I'm pretty sure one was The Great Malinko? Or something. From ages 14-16 a lot of the kids I hung out with were "juggalos" and I was subjected to a lot of ICP/Twisted/etc.

You guys are discussing Spaceghost but have you heard Lil Ugly Mane's Mista Thug Isolation? That's mixtape of the year material honestly. Very similar to Purrp but I think Lil Ugly Mane's verses are far superior.

I've also really been digging Le1f's Dark York but that's quite a bit different. That whole "gay" rap from NYC thing.

Ugly Mane is coo, i guess. his rapping got boring to me halfway through the tape. the beats are hot though.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 05.05.2012 01:43 AM

The only Lil Ugly Mane I have is Playaz Circle. My absolute favorite track, by far is TELL DEM BOYZ IMA SKELETON

Exmilitary spurts hot fire! And its free! IN FLAC FORMAT! Don't blame signing to a major so they can actually make some money.

Bytor Peltor 07.02.2014 05:49 PM

Death Grips is trending on twitter......it appears they are no more:

 

pad_023 07.02.2014 07:34 PM

Death Grips are pretty much nu metal

foreverasskiss 07.02.2014 07:41 PM

never liked them anyway.

they suck ass. no one wants to hear their boring ass old school bullshit. weak shit!!!

chocolate_ladyland 07.02.2014 11:36 PM

RIP. really liked them. they managed to cause a legitimate ruckus in today's PR friendly music landscape. respect

halgreen 07.03.2014 12:43 AM

What a long publicity stunt.

I didn't know Throbbing Gristle would cancel shows at will, or just not show up. I think that's a cheap way of creating an artistic concept for a band, in stead of letting the music speak for you.

Not really. Say what you want but Throbbing Gristle have never been a publicity stunt. Please make sure you take the time to learn the difference. Thank you.

I totally agree with this statement!

However......over the years, Genesis P-Orridge has done many things to make people think this very thing and played a big part as to why the band didn't have much to do with each other for so many years.

yeah, TG always used their actions as a means of furthering and reflecting their art, they complemented the music, whereas death grips merely sought to garner attention for their stupid arses. the stuff they did wasn't cool, it wasn't subversive, it was just infantile and pathetic, passing off unadulterated laziness and apathy as some grandiose form of performance art.

the fact that I didn't even talk about their music there is a testament to how fucking awful they are. on that topic never much cared for them anyway, pad's right in calling them nu metal. my friend played me their new record though and it was okay, although pretty much came across as histrionically demented crackhead with a couple of distortion filters meets one bar of an snd track repeated for 5 minutes.
