Where my horrorcore fans at???
 

Give me your favorite 3,5,whatever! whether they were pre/post the term Horrorcore. By all means put your favorite album by your top and your favorite songs if you want!

in no particular order

Insane Poetry - Grim Reality
Ganksta N-I-P - The South Park Psycho!
Flatlinerz - U.S.A. (Under Satans Authority)
Esham - Boomin Words From Hell!!! "I SELL CRACK!"
Gravediggaz - Niggamortis!

wow NO ONE on this forum likes horrorcore???? thats strange with all the Wu Tang fans on here..

Because horrorcore is generally associated with **** bands like ICP, and in my opinion is pretty flipping terrible 98% of the time. Wu Tang doesn't deserve to be dragged into this thread. :nono:

Shutup mang, ICP was one of the best things to happen in the white rap scene since Vanilla Ice.

I like Gravediggas because of their sound, not their subject matter. And, yeah - wtf does Wu Tang have to do with that silly ass subgenre?

uh RZA man thats what. Wu Tangs fame is what made GravediggaZ(with a Z) as apposed to the Flatlinerz.

yeah I hate that people associate horrorcore with ICP only...even though they WERE influenced by the greats like ESham..

I mean come on...
 

flatlinerz are sick!

What's wrong with the subject matter?

I realize that RZA is a part of GravediggaZ as Opposed (with an O) to the fact that I have never even listened to Flatlinerz.

Nothing at all - I like it. I was trying to say that I like Gravediggaz because of the people involved in the project and I would have liked it even if they only rapped about rainbows and cute puppies. So it's kind of offensive to hear them be boxed into some needless subgenre but whatever - it happenZ.

Overall underground horrorcore rappers tend to be the most lyrical (in america anyway). I'm not sure why, but they do. I enjoy a lot of horrorcore rap but it's due to the fantastic lyricism displayed by the artist rather than the topic they are talking about.

hahahahah thats the best!!!!

mine is Coolio-Gangsters Paradise

Never even heard of horrorcore, but i heard d12's Devils Night albums is in that category so i would go with it.

wow is it really??? man horrorcore is pretty much dead. You heard of any "Rappers" off of serial killer records? if not,don't look... unless you want a good laugh

Well, I like Three 6 Mafia's "Spill My Blood" if you'd classify that as horrorcore.

Traditionally horrorcore rap is rappers who rap specifically about things like murder, rape, serial killing, beastiality ect. Imagine taking a horror movie and turning it into a song.



some examples of horrorcore rap.

Necro - who's your daddy (you might recognise the music as it's from the zombies - time of the season they sampled the song to make the beat)



Tech N9ne - this guy started out as a horrorcore rapper but has slowly moved into more gangster style rap creating music for clubs ect.

This song is called "Devil Boy"



and last but by no means last is Lo Key
this song is called "the attic" and is the final track on a small ep he released where he went through each room of the house rapping about the horrors that go on in that particular room including "the kitchen", "the basement", "the attic" ect it was a pretty decent concept i haven't seen attempted by anyone else.

Lo Key
 

well thats true for a lot of gangsta/hardcore rap.What horrorcore does is "take death & uses it in common with whats going on in the world now."

Flatlinerz and Insane Poetry are probably the best at portraying that in my opinion.
"Slash,Slash,Slash! I sold my soul to horrorcore!" - Flatlinerz Live Evil
"Grim Reality Is people buried in John Wayne Gacy's house" - Insane Poetry The Horror Facts

yeah Lo-Key is sick. he's featured A LOT in songs with artists I really like.

Not a Necro/Tech N9ne fan really.

Does anybody here like Ganksta N-I-P???

what do you think about Kool Keith saying he invented Horrorcore???I don't really hear it... but then again, all I got is Sex Style by him.

wait have i misunderstood? you think gangsta rap is

"rappers who rap specifically about things like murder, rape, serial killing, beastiality ect. Imagine taking a horror movie and turning it into a song."

Gangster rap is nothing like that and never has been lol. Gangster rap originally was quite rebellious and even political at times, gangster rap now is all about bling bling chek out da bitchez and my platinum gun ya know!!

There is very few good gangster rappers now i.m.o

anyway, i don't think gangster rap is the same as "taking a horror movie and turning it into a song".

as for that^ horrorcore rap doesn't have to be about death at all. But i can see what you're getting at.


btw i didn't say i liked any of the artists i posted, i was just giving examples of what traditional horrorcore rappers sound like because a lot of people in here have stated they don't even know what it is lol.

haha yeah you did mang, I was talking about Hardcore rap too, I just threw gangster in there as well. you like funneled on gangster rap like thats all I'm talking about. and I don't know about gangster rap too much, thats why i post horrorcore threads :P

well thanks for posting them :D I don't think they're "traditional" but they probably do slide into horrorcore.. Don't know about necro... but the other ones were alright. some traditional **** is like ESham, Insane Poetry, & some say Geto Boys as well but I dunno... they have A COUPLE songs I could see as horrocore but mainly just routine ****.All those artists I named came out BEFORE the genre, thats why I consider it traditional.cause all the artists under the genre were influenced by them.

thanks a lot for the Lo-Key by the way I never heard of that EP

esham was more acid rap than horrorcore but i know what you're getting at.

then again if you we start getting into the technicalities of it, necro is the founder of "death rap" so he isn't considered horrorcore either

there's to many genres these days lol

To answer your original question, probably at the roadkill cook-off down at the trailer park.

Yeah acid rap or whatever! I forgot what that was called :P who the hell is EVEN acid rap besides Esham and NATAS????

Esham is hardcore, didn't his first album come out when he was like 14??

Im more of a Syko Sam kind of guy myself.

I could never get into that stuff. None of the stuff on Serial Killer Records actually... I dunno I guess I feel like all those people are trying to sound horrorcore. I like all the guys that were doing it before Horrorcore even existed. and then I only really like Gravediggaz and Flatlinerz POST horrorcore existance.

I heard theres still pretty big horrorcore shows sometimes and it's like ICP and ESham and Insane Poetry and all the Serial Killer Records people all at the same show. I would go to that! but i'd have a hard time enjoying myself when some of those guys come on.

haha has anyone heard Kon Crete or Con Crete or whatever? that guy should just stop...

but yeah didn't Syko Sam kill some people or was that just a rumor?

@ overdoser

no it wasnt a rumour...he did in fact kill 5 people. I think it was 5. his music was weak to me.


Other than Gravediggaz I don't see anything interesting about the genre...that's just my take on it.

and with the Gravediggaz it had yet to fall within the limits/boundaries of a genre. I liked them as good hip-hop and nothing more.

When I first saw the thread I almost answered "They be up in VA choppin up folks" but I decided to give a serious answer instead. I think it was headline news the day this thread popped up.

fosho man thanks for the input! keep it coming people!

anyone like Jim Snooka???

haha yeah, Im not into horrorcore at all. I just saw that syko sam thing in the news and thought it was the ****tiest music ever. that was just a fat white kid with a juggalo outfit.

haha wow was this recent?? cause I heard about it but didn't see it on the news or anything. yeah all my good friends are juggalo's so i've had that **** shoved down my throat for years hahaha I just cant get into the white guys doing horrorcore




now compare that with one of those white "horrorcore" artists.



haha weak.

even though King Gordy's not the best in horrorcore he still destroys any of those white boys in VA hahaha
