it doesn't matter if you like hip-hop or not to like these guys but rather if you can stomach loud and obnoxious bullshit

It's sometimes hard to call what MC Ride does rapping since he's so frantic. But Culture Shock is a pretty accessible song if you're coming into it from that angle.

The chopped and screwed sampling/production on Exmilitary will definitely appeal to you (at times the sampling reminds me of DJ Premier or even The Bomb Squad because of how genius and dense the samples can be); although you'd probably have to read along to the lyrics but he has a unique flow and lyricism that is more of an aquired taste.



The Money Store is extremely catchy with explosive hooks and MC Ride's flow and delivery is less abrasive and more melodic and smooth (by his standards anyway); however the sampling of well known songs is replaced with their unorthodox usage of samples they record from going about their day to day life. The lyrics are more focused with a specific character in mind: drug dealer making a living in the inner city and slowly going insane from the drugs and the intense life he has put himself in



Ride's lyrics are consistently dense and misanthopic and I think it's fun to pick apart his more abstract and clever rhymes

"The lyrics are more focused with a specific character in mind: drug dealer making a living in the inner city and slowly going insane from the drugs and the intense life he has put himself in"

I don't hear this at all when I listen to Money Store as a whole, maybe some select tracks like "The Fever" or "Blackjack". I think Ride sounds kind of braggadocios about his bars on a lot of tracks actually, (Hustle Bones, almost the whole second half of the album).

"I don't hear this at all when I listen to Money Store as a whole, maybe some select tracks"



Deranged/Drug dealer songs:

Get Got: introduction of the character providing a summary of the lyric topics throughout the album by narrating his outrunning the police



The Fever: insanity caused by the coco



Lost Boys: life in the city as an outcast to society



Blackjack: comparing his criminal activities to the game of blackjack



Hustle Bones: analogy of MC Ride being the leader of a notorious gang to him destroying other emcees in the game



I've Seen Footage: seeing murders and violent criminal activity everyday to the point of questioning reality, so he must "stay noided" in order to survive



The Cage: survival in the inner city as the sadistic drug dealing character he has painted himself as in prior tracks



Punk Weight: basically a homicide anthem



Fuck That: not very sure how to interpret this but the lyrics have a lot of really violent imagery e.g. "Cut your brain stem as my combat boots grind your head
/To the cadence of this dreath stompin' mu
/Sick as fuck contagion wagin' war with all you knew, bitch". (Also note that awesome transition between those lines: "Dreath stompin' mu-Sick as fuckin contagion)





Bragadocious songs:

Double Helix

Hustle Bones (depending on how you interpret it)

Bitch Please

Hacker

@TVC I agree with most of those descriptions except for "Hustle Bones", "The Cage" and "Punk Weight", and "Fuck That". Those songs lyrically remind me more of "Double Helix" or "Bitch Please" as opposed to "I've Seen Footage", where MC Ride is just kind of spitting murderous (descriptively but actually quite literally in some cases) bars like say a GZA would instead of painting a picture of a deranged character from the underbelly of society like on "Get Got" and "Lost Boys".

Also, I think in "I've Seen Footage", MC Ride is talking about being on the deep web for the first time and seeing crazy shit instead of actually seeing it in real life.

Armored cop open fire Glock
On some kid who stepped so
Fast was hard to grasp what even happened 'til you seen that head blow
Off his shoulders in slow-mo
Rewind that, it's so cold
Rewind that, it's so cold
I've seen footage, I stay noided
Juke step with so much boy-rude looseness seem like
No bones in him skin
My jaw hit the floor, like "This real footage, gotta see that one mo' 'gain"
Ambulance hit and run over pedestrian in Brazil
Little tiger, boy soldier
Twist cap back and kill

Yeah, I don't even think there's much use in distinguishing a good starting point for DG. I almost feel like you'll immediately know if it's not for you

Gimmick music. No substance. Not ART. No soul. The only genius in this is the legion of scrawny androgynous white 19 year olds who have all been duped by this filth. They laugh at you.

"Arguing such factors of this shit Earth matters not. I know that darkness and decadence will bring us where we need"

"I do not understand what is meant by your fedora remark, but something tells me you are not educated in dark arts."

"Humanist fairies will always be stepped on by Titans."

"I'll allow the Humanist globalists engage with the Puritan Christian idiots like always. While you debate trivial pursuits the darkness grow."

My fave alt right here

Shit I just like it, what's the deep conviction one needs to have to dig something at all in this time and age? What demographic charts prove your dumbshit point? Meme-fied youth you look down at so?
