Product description

Dive into the chaotic and captivating world of Death Grips with "Government Plates," their third studio album, released in 2013. This experimental hip-hop masterpiece is a testament to the group's boundary-pushing sound, blending elements of punk rap and experimental music into a cohesive, yet unpredictable, whole. With a runtime of just 35 minutes, "Government Plates" packs a punch, delivering 11 tracks that are as intense as they are innovative.

The album was initially released as a free download on November 13, 2013, catching fans off guard with its surprise drop. Later, it was reissued as a limited vinyl release on Black Friday in 2014, complete with a replica of the license plate from the cover art, adding a unique collectible element for fans. The tracks are presented sequentially, inviting listeners to experience the album from start to finish.

"Government Plates" is a sonic journey through the mind of Death Grips, featuring tracks like "You Might Think He Loves You for Your Money but I Know What He Really Loves You for It's Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat," "Anne Bonny," and "Bootleg (Don't Need Your Help)." Each song is a testament to the group's unapologetic approach to music, pushing the boundaries of what hip-hop can be.

The album's visual component is equally striking. Death Grips released a visual album featuring various 3D animation models set against a black vacuum of space, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to Death Grips, "Government Plates" is an essential addition to your collection, showcasing the group's unique vision and uncompromising sound.

This 2023 Reissue LP is pressed on Clear vinyl.

  • Awesome Bootleg Sound Quality

    4 out of 5 stars
    QuulahxiexJanuary 11, 2026United States🇺🇸

    This is an awesome bootleg pressing. The sound quality is even better than some of the official Death Grips records. It doesn't come with an inner sleeve, and the jacket is a tad small, but you can easily fix that with aftermarket sleeves. The audio is pretty much spot on with the digital version, just a few tiny gaps between tracks, but no significant issues or hiss. I'd definitely suggest this to anyone who wants to listen to it on vinyl but doesn't want to pay for an original.

  • Sound Over Sleeve

    5 out of 5 stars
    Qihpigfeg878January 10, 2026United States🇺🇸

    The sleeve and jacket design aren't the best...they feel kinda flimsy, but what can you do? When I listened to it, though, I was really blown away by the sound, it's incredibly good 8/10. The official version is super pricey right now, but there's another official pressing dropping in October 2023, it's unlimited, but yeah I'm gonna grab one and see how they stack up :)

  • Vinyl Pressing Excellence

    5 out of 5 stars
    MuvdifabwOctober 24, 2025United States🇺🇸

    I'm clueless about who pressed this vinyl, but I'd give them a medal. It's rare these days to find a record this flat, crisp, and loud (in the best way possible) right out of the gate.

  • Repress Sounds Fantastic

    5 out of 5 stars
    qedbekxiozOctober 16, 2025United States🇺🇸

    This pressing sounds fantastic! I notice a lot of folks griping about represses, but honestly, I'm not seeing much complaining at all. I snagged the original pressing when it first dropped (at retail price). The demand for the first version will always be there, what with the unique color, alternate cover, and license plate. But it's truly great to have a more standard version that I can play without worrying about damaging it.

  • Regretting $450 Purchase

    5 out of 5 stars
    LpaihavrOctober 16, 2025United States🇺🇸

    To the person who just grabbed that $450 deal, I hope it brings you some joy :(
