Hip-Hop Listening Club Album of the Week #243: Death Grips - No Love Deep Web

Posted: 23 Mar 2018 04:41 PM PDT

Welcome to HHH Listening Club!

Today we'll be listening to No Love Deep Web by Death Grips

Background

Provided by u/yung_hokage_stef

While Death Grips' music is generally associated with heavy industrial abrasion and sensory overload, their third full-length release, No Love Deep Web, subscribes to the mantra of "less is more". Released just 6 months after their debut album The Money Store, No Love Deep Web's most defining trait is its rather minimalistic production, and the dark tone it carries as a result. Whereas on past projects the instrumentals were obtrusive and proudly excessive, on here they feel empty, deprived and cold in comparison, yet no less ruthless. At any time there are only ever 3 or so elements to a beat playing at once. A skittery drum pattern, a few droning synths, the odd vocal sample. While not much on paper, these pieces come together flawlessly whilst managing to rely on the absolute bare minimum. Death Grips proves that it is not what you use to your advantage, but how you use it.

While their work has always been viewed as hyper-aggressive, I always compared the mood of their first 2 projects to an overinflated power trip. An id-driven high with no regard for anything or anyone, including yourself. On the flipside, this album sounds like a neverending downward spiral, a hopeless attempt to cling to whatever will keep you afloat, no matter how futile. If the previous two albums were coke and alcohol benders, this one is heroin withdrawals. This shift in mood is heavily reflected in the lyrical content as well. Themes of paranoia, delusion, suicide, drug abuse and brutal violence plague the mind of MC Ride, whose verses sound less like poetry and more like the fragmented thoughts of a man too far gone. These lines from the hook of "Deep Web" sum up where he is coming from quite well:

omega megalomaniac in my glass house been built for surprise attack realized I held the blade inside my back

Ride's signature cryptic writing style only helps to add to the album's bleak atmosphere. While some of his bars may come off as nonsensical to newer listeners, they almost never fail to provide you with some form of imagery that only heightens the experience. Lines here range from sinister ("grab the floor, whip it cracked to all fours / you whimper while I check my phone") to downright disturbing ("I'm the coat hanger in your man's vagina"), but what truly sells them is Ride's delivery. A quality of the album's stripped back production is how Ride's performance is brought to the forefront, to great effect. The combination of rage and agony in his voice adds a lot of weight to his words, and the feelings he evokes resonate with you on a subconscious level, forcibly tapping into something primal. It's an infectious, albeit volatile sense of hype, and is a display of how moving Death Grips' art can be.

To me, there is no other album that can make me feel hate as much as it does vulnerability, invincible as it does desperate. Sonically, what sounds like Death Grips at their most restrained is also them at their most unfiltered (topped off with its exhibitionist cover art), with room for nothing except the raw emotion they choose to emit. With the fear of an impending digital age present throughout, No Love Deep Web is harsh, ugly, futuristic, primitive, and somehow inspiring, and that is where its brilliance lies.
