Whats the thread called and where can i find it?

Personally I think he borders on it with this album, but I wouldn't call it horrorcore. Just really dark hip hop.

And Oh boy, that's one of my favorite albums.

I make ****ty horrorcore.

I'm pretty sure you have done music with Corpse Circus. If i remember right, you were featured on a Bloodstepp album, no?

Yeah, that was me. My verse was dope, but my delivery kind of sucked on that one. I recorded an original hook for it too but he didn't use it. I guess he liked the alien's and corpses line because it fit better with the theme of the album. Verse is basically about how even though I don't condone what Sam did or anybody like that, it's hard for me to separate them from the music when some of the **** we rap about is exactly the same as what he did. Speaking for myself, the music comes from the same place where the actions did. It was always an outlet to let go of some of the feelings that he literally acted out. So in that I sympathize and relate to him despite the atrocities, and any hatred I have for him or his actions really becomes just a hatred for myself.

Yeah syko sam (or however you spell it) was a crazy incident. But, yeah. I understand that completely. As my passion for music is endless, i find myself with infinite inspiration for more darker subject matter and it comes more naturally and the fact horrorcore is so hated on and such a slandered genre in hiphop is unforunate (as i stated in the beginning post in the forum.) Because there are artists out there who genuinely want to make good music but putting in that subgenre, to me, already throws dirt on it regardless of the content.

Horrorcore rappers don't generally strike me as the type to concern themselves with the stigma of the genre. No matter how well you do it it's by virtue of what it is, fringe. You want to be respected? By whom?

Love it when it's done with skill

Maybe that came out wrong. But it's nothing specific, i guess. Just the fact when i make the content i do and right away that it's labeled anything like "horrorcore" its automatically frowned on. Maybe the time for that genre has passed.. or maybe it will make a come back? Who knows.

Artists don't like to be pigeonholed with labels but fans need the language to describe it. There's one major thing that hasn't been achieved in horrorcore or hip hip. It's never been scary. It's been threatening but not scary. There's post punk, metal, and contemporary classical music that scares me. If you want to separate yourself from the constraints of the horrorcore label make music that actually manages to frighten people. I honestly don't think that has been done before.
