I was thinking about this after re-reading the SPIN artist of the year article, and I was curious about the band's current circumstances. So...
If a tell all biography about Death Grips could be published 20 years from now, would you want that? Or do you think it would ruin the band's "mystique?"
Also: what would that biography be called?
Death Grip 1.0?
Artificial Death In the West?
Whatever I Want (Fuck Who's Reading)?

Perfect reply.
It would ruin the mystique if it was released today, but in 20 years when their legacy and influence will have had time to sink in and they stopped being active a long time ago, I think it would be the perfect addition for die-hard fans.
I think I would buy it, given how much of a music nerd I am, and the memories I would have of Death Grips in particular.
"music nerd"

No Love is a powerful name
"It's all suicide"
yes, i would
We really don't know enough about them for a whole bio about their lives. I'm pretty sure anyone here could write a thesis about the band though.
We do have a lot though, if you are willing to look. I wrote a six page theology paper about DG, and I had a pretty easy time filling the space
You should upload it
I usually frown on writing papers on pop culture (even though I'm guilty of it; my junior writing course paper was on the Mothers of Invention), but I'd also like to read this.
The prompt was to theologically analyze a piece of pop culture. I got an 88. I'm not sure I have it anymore, I'll message a link if I can find it
Add me to the list of people who want to read.
If someone from the group---say, Zach---cooperated with a biographer who had other good sources, then it's possible. Perhaps unlikely, but it's fun to think about.
I think "It's Death Grips" would be perfect name

JENNY DEATH IS A FUCKING PROSE ANTHOLOGY O SHIT LADS

Whatever you want (Whatever you like) Whatever you say You pay your money You take your choice Whatever you need Whatever you use Whatever you win Whatever you lose
I would, but only when the "jenny death mistery" will be solved. Btw i think that No Love is the perfect title
Death Grips - Behind the Curtains: The tales of 2011's most influential band.
"You can sit between the backseat and my dick" would be a sick ass name for a tour bio
Artificial death in the west would be a sick name only if they kept putting out music, it would perfectly allude to them being from the west coast and faking their breakup.

Yea I had this thought too, seems more appropriate.
abso...lutely
It would be called:

Aren't you the mod that complains about shit posts?
Shit comments are fine I would presume, it's the actual shit posts that get so tiring.
