Hacker

Hacker is the closer to Death Grips' 2012 studio debut The Money Store and the culmination of the entire album; cuindependent.com calls it “the moment when all shit breaks loose and all that’s left to do is riot.” In it, MC Ride throws out references to several pop culture icons, including Apple, Lady Gaga, and Sammy Davis alongside boasts about his gang and their ability to take on everything. Ultimately, despite seeming to be another murder anthem, Hacker is MC Ride’s way of telling the world that he and his friends have made their mark and are now a force in the game that you can’t ignore; many lines in the song have a double meaning that relates to the success of the rap group. They’re in your area, on the charts, and can reach anyone they want. The song was featured in the 2015 shooter Battlefield Hardline.
