1* BrokenBase: What's best: the twisted and up to eleven GangstaRap noise of ''midcity'', the lyrical and cliche-lax lament of inner city life in ''CLPPNG'', the conceptual sci-fi romp of ''Splendor and Misery'' or the minimalist horrorcore of ''There Existed an Addiction to Blood'' and ''Visions Of Bodies Being Burned''? And even in that, there's a split between whether ''TEAAB'' or ''VOBBB'' is better.
2** Which ''Story'' variant was the best?
3* FandomRivalry: With Music/DeathGrips, as is to be expected of another experimental/industrial rap act. Death Grips fans (and associated noise acts) think clipping. are cliche rappers wearing the cloak of HarshNoise; clipping. fans (among other noise rap acts) accuse Death Grips of being untalented noise that only appeals to snobby backpackers. clipping. themselves commented on it, with Daveed especially saying he's not worried about comparisons as he feels Death Grips is ''extremely'' different from what they do.
4* FriendlyFandoms:
5** That said, there is a chunk of crossover fans who like both clipping. ''and'' Death Grips, having discovered one through the other, and expect a few mashup mixtapes.
6** On an unrelated note, kinship exists between them and Music/TheMountainGoats, self-admitted fans of each other's work who once put out an album on the same day.
7* 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 in the band's naming conventions.
