Zayn Malik should join Death Grips as their 4th member

Zayn Malik should join Death Grips as their 4th member

The Issue

Following Malik's departure from internationally-famous boy band One Direction, and Death Grips releasing the second half of their "final" album The Powers That B almost simultaneously, it would only make sense to push for a merger. This is further supported by the fact that:

1. The last track on The Powers That B is titled Death Grips 2.0, which strongly indicates the need for a new member, the role of which Malik would fulfill perfectly.

2. Nobody has ever done bubblegum pop lyrics + vocals over harsh, abrasive, industrial, experimental production before and that's fucking criminal.

3. It would add further weight to Death Grips's reputation of being totally unpredictable and left-field and contribute to Malik's fledgling bad-boy image (which every boy band member HAS to have).

4. Mostly I just wanna hear the contrast between Stefan "MC Ride" Burnett caterwauling and Zayn singing simultaneously and feel extremely disoriented (like every proper Death Grips song/record should leave you feeling). Death Grips's (hopefully) new incarnation would need a new way to sonically discombobulate and this seems like the perfect way to do that and keep people wondering what they have next UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES UP THEIR SLEEVES

Leopold BloomPetition Starter"The last man, the man of the street, of the crowds, of the masses, mass man—that is how THEY portrayed Bloom to us initially: as the sad product of the time of the multitudes, as the disastrous son of the industrial age and the end of every enchantment. But in these designations as well, there is the same shudder -- THEY shudder before the infinite mystery of ordinary man. Behind the theater of his qualities, everyone senses a pure potentiality lurking there; a pure potentiality that we’re all expected to ignore. There remains the necessary anxiety that we believe we can alleviate by demanding from one another a strict absence from oneself, a disregard of that common potential that has become unspeakable for being anonymous. Bloom is the name of that particular anonymity."
