History YMMV / Clipping

* NightmareFuel: Being a noise rap group, they've often made music that can frighten the listen, but ''There Existed An Addiction to Blood'' fully revels in this, being an homage to horror films.

** The [[https://vimeo.com/187753473 entire video]] (nsfw) to "Back Up," a [[FoundFootageFilms found-footage]] SurrealHorror film about a cult of infantile shut-ins, shot in the beloved LA music club The Smell. Or as one commenter put it:
-->"''Film/LookWhosTalking'' by way of ''Film/TrashHumpers.''"

** The entire [[SurrealMusicVideo video]] to "Back Up." The best way to describe it is "UncannyValley adult baby [[AddledAddict junkies]] in a [[NothingIsScarier dark and dingey underground inhabitance]]."

** Bryan-Lewis Saunders' monologue in "God Given Tongue" about his recruitment into a {{Cult}} is nothing short of spine-chilling.

** References that Cargo 2331 makes throughout the album, including in his freestyle interludes, strongly imply that he was a modern American man living in Los Angeles before being abducted and hauled across the galaxy to be used as a slave.

** The music video to [[https://youtu.be/COSPHLq8y98 "Summertime"]], wherein Daveed's eyes and mouth are [[UncannyValley super-imposed onto various people]]. But that's not the worst part. The worst part is that we see [[NightmareFace Daveed's face with his eyes and mouth removed]].

* HilariousInHindsight[=/=]HarsherInHindsight: "La Mala Ordina" argues, as its central theme, that the thug life and the rapstar image of it are totally at odds. Benny the Butcher, in particular, singles out "rap niggas [who] dye they hair just to sell some singles." Not a week after the song debuted, [=6ix9ine=] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trial_of_Nine_Trey_Gangsters demonstrated their point exactly.]]

* BrokenBase: What's best: the twisted and UpToEleven GangstaRap noise of ''midcity'', the lyrical and cliche-lax lament of inner city life in ''CLPPNG'', or the conceptual sci-fi romp of ''Splendor and Misery''?

* GeniusBonus: Their beats tend to be loaded with this, from the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-tone_technique twelve-tone]] melody of "Shooter" to the bizarre, intricate time signatures of "Story 7." That's not even going into the esoteric references that pop up in Daveed's lines, or the band's naming conventions.

** FriendlyFandoms: That said, there is a chunk of crossover fans who like both, having discovered one through the other, and expect a few mashup mixtapes.

* BrokenBase: What's better, the twisted-but-still-gangster-rap noise of ''Midcity'' that ups GangstaRap [[UpToEleven to new, brutal heights]]? The lyrical lament of inner city life in ''CLPPNG'' that consciously chose not to play up some rap cliches? ''Splendor and Misery'''s sci-fi romp?

* FandomRivalry: With Music/DeathGrips, as to be expected of noise rappers. Death Grips fans (and associated noise acts) think clipping. are cliche rappers wearing the cloak of HarshNoise to produce tired rap cliches; clipping. fans (among other noise rap acts) accuse Music/DeathGrips of being untalented noise produced by a lolrandom band that only appeals to snobby white backpacker hipsters trying to be deep. clipping., themselves commented on it, with Daveed especially saying he's not worried about comparisons: he feels Death Grips is ''extremely'' different from what they do.
