My friend and I watched this from forks' inexplicable thread last night and she tried to download the mixtape but it made her browser crash when she used the internet at the same time. She said, "everyone's talking about this on facebook," and I said, " 'everybody'? How can it be everybody? This video only has 21,000 views and it's his most-viewed video," and she said, "okay, not EVERYBODY. Like two or maybe three people posted the video, "and I said, "still, that's pretty impressive when you consider the ratio of 21,000 to the population of the unites states. This is probably gonna get big. Like, indie big, maybe," and she said, "Yeah, maybe."

no but seriously: I think the 2xLP-with-half-leaked-in-advance could be a surprisingly good marketing strategy for bands in Death Grips' position (rabid fanbase, restless musicians) to basically cash in their chips -- "here's a free half-hour of the experimental shit that might alienate you; btw you're still paying for it whether you like it or not when the proper album drops"
― bernard snowy, Tuesday, 31 March 2015 13:44 (nine years ago) link

I should have absorbed more DG by now. Really, really, really liked The Powers That B or whatever the two-disc thing was officially called. The juxtaposition of the two not-very-similar discs somehow added something in itself. I even bought a physical copy fercrissakes, which is noteworthy for me nowadays.
But I have no recollection of hearing the stuff since then, nor NLDW for that matter. I've no real excuse...
