content: Why death grips appeals to whites but not blacks Death grips takes the worst aspects of blacks and third worldism and brings it to a grim reality, similar to a Liveleak video. It comes from a place of black insecurity, similar to that expressed by Aaron MacGruder, while to whites it jives with them because they have to deal with this kind of shit on a regular basis. The music is jarring to blacks because they are not used to looking at their race in the mirror; it would be like if someone made an album taking the worst aspects of white culture (craft brew, sappy folk bullshit, and pretension) and made it into an extremely annoying caricature. That is why their first two albums are their most interesting, everything from there was still amazing but it became flanderized and too abstract. Exmilitary is their best simply because of the interesting political discussion that can be drawn from it; unfortunately the Death grips fandom is literally Rick and Morty tier.
