also, i'd like to point out there's nothing really resembling pedantry in my comments. You can call me out for being pedantic for a lot of times (and I often can be), but this is not one of the cases where that is true. Terms like self-righteous or overzealous might apply better if you want to correctly criticize point 2. That said, even if you take out point 2 the other two points are objectively correct in the sense of their historical accuracy in countering fleeting statements that are equivocally false.

Yeah, personally I've always thought DG observed the cutting edge and shifted their sound rapidly to approach it. Machine Girl gets called a DG clone but I don't think Zach and Co really made a work that sounded in that same world until after WlfGrl, similarly I wouldn't be surprised if they were listening to spaceghostpurpp's stuff in studio for YOTS.

I don't know enough to wade into this musical debate (btw never been a fan of Death Grips or Jenny Death, and a re-listen here didn't change my mind), but any post explaining (however correctly) why pedantic is improper diction is a minor self-own _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM

That's the point. I was showing actual pedantry to prove my point. Congrats. ๐
I find an argument like "uh, Dalek did it" like they're a multi-platinum household name that 100s of artists have ripped off is a dumb argument. You could pick a worse influence than them to base your musical sound off of. (Although, to be honest, I feel that Death Grips has a more unique sound than what people seem to be giving them credit for in this thread.) Besides MC Ride has also been rappinng in a more or less "experimental" fashion since the late 90s. I know cause I had to listen to his shitty album a few weeks ago. ๐
