It’s that special time of the month when you get together with friends and family to play some board games and have a wholesome good time. But routine gets boring. Sometimes you need to liven things up, and the best way to do that is a curated playlist of the most annoying Death Grips songs possible. So throw these songs on whenever you want to clear the room and get home early.
Get Got
Get Got is a perfect introductory song to Death Grips. Your friends playing Operation will be lulled into a false sense of security and happiness from the rough industrial beat. All you need to do is make sure someone else is taking out water on the brain when MC Ride’s shriek comes in. Be sure to be inches away from the other player’s face mouthing the lyrics as they attempt surgery.
No Love
No Love is the ideal pairing for ruining a game of Scattergories. You’ll roll a G and get writing while the other players are preoccupied trying to understand what the fuck MC Ride is saying, and wondering why he’s saying it so loudly. The buzzer will go off right as your friends turn to one another and ask who’s cock is on the album cover. Meanwhile you got double score from writing Gal Gadot under actors.
Death Grips is Online
Good luck playing Password while getting hit with an auditory wall of nonsense punctuated with occasional ‘Death Grips is Online’. Sure, you might be able to describe an ostrich without using certain words, but your partner is going to be spending that time utterly befuddled as to why someone would pay money to listen to this music.
Guillotine
Charades, at the best of times, is a difficult game to play. But when you plug in your iPod Nano and start blasting “Guillotine,” things get even tougher. Your friends might ask you to stop chanting ‘it goes it goes it goes it goes’ while Susan tries in vain to mime “The Godfather Part II.” Fortunately if they get close to the answer you can just scream ‘YEAH’ until they lose their train of thought.
I’ve Seen Footage
Nothing goes with Movie Trivial Pursuit than a song about seeing footage. Surely your friends will relate to MC Ride when you show them the Zapruder Film on repeat and insist that they stay noided. Sure they’ll try to ask about who starred in “My Favorite Year,” but you can just tell them how much crazy shit you’ve seen and demand that that was actually Val Kilmer’s body double in “Top Gun” so you technically got that question correct.
The Fever (Aye Aye)
How cute, you’re trying to read the fun fact about American Sparrows from Wingspan out loud. Too bad Zach Hill mixed this one so nutty that all you can think about is burning down a rich motherfucker’s house. Put that wetland bird down and destroy your surroundings, I don’t care if this bitch can fly in flocks of tens of thousands. Wait tens of thousands, really? That’s a lot.
You Might Think He Loves You For Your Money But I Know What He Really Loves You For
Honestly the others might just leave during this one because it sounds really bad and Scrabble isn’t engaging enough to keep people around. You aren’t doing your board game party any favors by ripping your shirt off and freaking out your work friends with your blood curdling screams. Although you did manage to pull off ‘Jazz’ with a triple word score so they might just be sore losers.
Giving Bad People Good Ideas
Much like Risk, “Giving Bad People Good Ideas” starts out pleasant enough but quickly degrades into murder and mayhem. You’ll be taking Kamchatka while you shake in your chair along with the beat. Your friends will ask if you’re ok, and if it’d be ok to switch to Codenames and Miley Cyrus. Your only response can be to pull your own hair out and begin your march to claim Australia from the heathens.
Hacker
Your friends are wrapped up in Twister, Carly Rae Jepsen is blasting on the speaker. You can’t be stopped. You put on “Hacker” to the protestations of your tangled friends. While they’re busy putting their right hand on green, you can go into their personal possessions and steal anything of value. Not because you need the money, but because it’s what Death Grips would do. When they come out their shit is gone.
Electric Drum Solo Dub Mix
The most recent Death Grips track, an 11 minute drum concerto punctuated with unpleasant rhythms, is the perfect thing to subtly suggest that your friends go home. It’s time for you to sleep, and your nightly routine now includes listening to the equivalent of electric maggots fucking in your earlobes. Who cares if James brought Ticket to Ride? It’s time to party to electric nonsense until your nose spontaneously bleeds.
