Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because. What does it need to not be deleted??. I searched for something in wikipedia, couldn't find it, and decided to make the article. I am still working on it.— 336 (talk) 05:10, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License

[edit]

I realize this maaay not be the right place to ask, but what kind of license is Death Grips' material released under? I can't seem to find anything anywhere, except on the Freemusic mirror download of Exmilitary, though that seems to be only a site-relevant license? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.114.162.167 (talk) 03:59, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion

[edit]

Singles probably need to be replaced with Full Moon, Guillotine and a couple of others that were released for only a short while on thirdworlds. Works to simply state the tracks they released to pay and any tracks they initially put to download but then withdrew. Very little reason to put single charts, it just clutters the flow of the page and makes little sense if the tracks weren't released as singles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.185.187.250 (talk) 21:29, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Flatlander No Longer a Member of the Group

[edit]

In every interview, event, video, and Death Grips-related happening in the last 6 months, Andy Morin has been completely absent. I'd say it's pretty safe to assume he's no longer a member of the group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.32.99.66 (talk) 04:17, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Morin has been occupied with other projects in iceland, and he's also been handling the legal end of the "No Love Deep Web" fallout, from what I can find on the internet. He also appears briefly in one of the "No Hands" videos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.54.13.0 (talk) 09:16, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Niggas on the Moon

[edit]

Why isn't this album Niggas on the Moon in the discography?--24.203.108.54 (talk) 00:25, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's the first disc of their final studio album The Powers That B, that's why. ShawntheGod (talk) 21:50, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Break Up

[edit]

Thanks to :2.38.53.152 for correcting my grammatical error in that minor revision, being changing "is" to "were," when the correct word choice should have been "was." I assume this choice is correct unless anyone disagrees? — Haruomi Hosono (talk) 08:20, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest some minor revisions be made due to the recent news of the bands disbandment. I have changed the "is" from "Death Grips is an experimental hip hop[1][2][3] group from Sacramento, California, formed in 2010.", to "were," i.e: "Death Grips were an experimental hip hop[1][2][3] group from Sacramento, California, formed in 2010." A user has also made a short addition to the 2013-2014 section to include the news of the break up as well as a sentence in the introductory paragraph. Is any more needed? — Haruomi Hosono (talk) 08:02, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I made a separate section for the disbandment as this is quite big news and shouldn't be grouped in with their music releases for 2013 and 2014, it deserves its own separate section and rightfully so. ShawntheGod (talk) 21:52, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The name"Flatlander" does *not* refer to Andy Morin

Hardcore Punk

[edit]

I know they're influenced by it, but could they really be called Hardcore Punk? I certainly wouldn't put them in the same genre as bands like Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, and Bad Brains. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.142.7.229 (talk) 02:36, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of white /mu/ kids who don't listen to much rap are just really concerned with connecting them to punk music so it's still 'cool'. The biggest fan of them that I know even gets offended when people call them rap and argues that they should solely be placed under the hardcore punk label and shouldn't be referred to in any way as rap because "the punk influence outweighs the rap influence". I don't think hardcore should be a listed genre here either but there are always going to be people ready to pounce on changing it back, unfortunately.158.123.187.100 (talk) 15:35, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Gmail and the Restraining Orders

[edit]

So Pitchfork (and a few others too) has published a small piece about the new release, but the song doesn't appear to be available anywhere but YouTube. I say it's deserving of a place on the article, if not its own article as well. puggo (talk) 17:25, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Andy Morin

[edit]

Why doesn’t he have his own page? Ehh447 (talk) 10:01, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps because in his own right he has yet to earn the same level of notability as the others. If you think you can find enough reliable sources that would establish notability, be my guest! Robvanvee 17:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Tyler the creator and Eric Andre being fans

[edit]

The "in popular culture" section claims that Tyler the creator and Eric Andre are fans of the band, but the only reference is a youtube video starring both of them and featuring a Death Grips song in the background. Nothing in the video seems to imply that they've even heard of Death Grips. Am I missing something?

85.170.249.22 (talk) 18:39, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right! Removed. Thanks. Robvanvee 18:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

eric andre posted a picture of him posing with stephan and zach on his instagram and also recorded a video of death grips rehearsing, I think its pretty safe to say he is a big fan.GlowZoe (talk) 04:55, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Genre cut-down

[edit]

Per Template:Infobox_musical_artist#genre, I propose cutting down infobox genres to a maximum of four general tags. I would propose either:

Or:

Thoughts?--MASHAUNIX 15:01, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mashaunix: I think the first four you listed would be more appropriate. I don't think mainly sources would call them a "punk rock" band. Bowling is life (talk) 16:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, while they do have some punk rock elements in the music, you would still have to remember that the band is mainly a hip hop-style outfit. So if you had to put ANY punk rock tag in the list, electro punk would probably make the most sense. 2600:1010:B1A3:9B21:C534:4681:EB48:2422 (talk) 04:11, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 29 October 2021

[edit]

The sentence "and American musician Justin Chancellor (best known as the bassist for Tool)" has to be corrected: Justin Chancellor is English, not American, as stated in his own Wikipedia page. 191.249.198.27 (talk) 04:05, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

9/21/22

[edit]

According to archived screencaps, a hidden message reading "9/21/22" was live on the band's website on September 3-4, only visible when highlighted with ctrl+a, but it was taken down just hours ago. Could be a release date. Might be worth adding to the article. https://web.archive.org/web/20220904035914/https://thirdworlds.net/ 2600:8801:710E:7E00:707B:8923:5215:1C8C (talk) 06:06, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Death Grips Disbanding?

[edit]

The article has been rewritten to imply that Death Grips is no longer together. Can someone please clarify why the article implies this? I don’t see any source that says Death Grips is no longer together. Homeostasis39 (talk) 01:08, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Might just be vandalism. There's nothing confirmed yet, AFAIK. Superamario64 (talk) 22:46, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
