Comparing the title of “Deep Web” to its lyrics reveals a commentary on the impersonal connectivity of the internet. Ride embodies the dark side of the web, the antagonistic, self-aggrandizing attitude that anonymous and unaccountable internet users can often feel. He magnifies the phenomenon until he paints the portrait of a violent maniac at the height of paranoia.
It’s possible the song’s message is in response to the No Love Weep Web ARG, a deep internet scavenger hunt of encrypted images and hidden musical prizes that Death Grips inflicted upon their fans leading up to the album’s release.
