Brotha Lynch was mind blowing to me in the mid to late 90s as a ten year old kid. I was into ICP already by then, but they've always had a goofy kinda vibe in their music. Brotha Lynch had this way of seeming so believable in what he was trying to convey. Some would even say that he was more gangsta rap at that point, but the horrors of what he was saying we're so vivid. The violence in his later albums absolutely eclipsed his early ones, but his early tracks were very shocking to me as a kid. My friends and I wore out 24 Deep and Season of da Siccness. They're really raw albums. Check em out.
24 deep and Season have a lot of truth to them. Season was after his cousin got killed. They were really riding on that album and in the streets. Garden Blocc had Sacramento turnt tf up back then. Lynch, C-Bo and Gangsta Dre all have they’re own songs about Q-Ball being shot at the video shoot. All songs go hard af
'Mind of a Lunatic' by the Geto Boys might be the first rap song I heard that I really felt the lyrics touched on what would later be termed as 'horrorcore'
@@cultshit8583 what the ufck are you talking about? almost every single song on that album can be labeled horrocore. eminem literally said he was inspired by serial killers when he was making relapse.
Hell yeah. I know he hates it and was in a bad place while creating it, but the "Relapse: Refill" edition is one of my top 5 Em albums. Buffalo Bill, Music Box, Wide Awake, and 3 AM, was on repeat in my truck for a full year at leat when it came out. Now I make a playlist that has those and other horrorcore on it, and play it throughout October every year.
Tech N9ne has definitely dabbled in horrorcore. One of my favorite songs of his is “American Horror Story” off of one of his many collaboration albums.
I feel like if he was alive today He probably would have done a full horrorcore album specially how he makes so many metaphors and punchlines about tons of movies
It's because of Devils Son, that was one of the first horrorcore records. Big L, Kool Keith & Grave Diggaz are the originators of horror core! Who was doing it before them? They have all used multiple styles throughout their careers but they were the first horrorcore rappers I knew of
Esham was a local phenomenon for us. I grew up on his shit. Been listening to him since I was ten years old when the first version of Boomin Words From Hell was out. The infamous "Red Tape".
Solid! I grew up around Memphis in the 90s. Tommy Wright III, and Three 6 Mafia (known as Triple 6 in the beginning) were among the biggest in our area. I listened to them, Esham, ICP, and many other horrorcore rappers back then. Such huge influences. It seems like it’s a bit more mainstream now with the classic 808 Memphis-style sound a number of artists are using. I dig it. Thank you for the information. You definitely did a lot of great digging! 🤘🏼👊🏼
i been doing crappy rap for years some horrorcore , i'm now reinvited my self and trying strict horrorcore rap , i just made a video on my youtube th-cam.com/video/gebDQEIGDEw/w-d-xo.html and will be updating this youtube with new songs (not many videos) and links to find my songs , my style is similar to Necro mix with Brotha Lynch Hung , some might not like it alot might not but some might actually dig it , Check it out!
Maybe I'm biased being a TX native, born and raised, but Geto Boyz and NIP are definitely the beginning of the whole genre in my mind. I'm 45yrs old so I remember vividly hearing these sounds at like 5and 6 yrs old, which would have been early 80s
I think folks not really into the genre hear a similarity between this and what Paris, and the later Da Lynch Mob and now Tec-9 do. However, that is different than horror-core which is less political in nature
@@Tusk_Tact Ganksta nip did it and was connected with Memphis after that NY and California got know faster due to bigger production and media contract help.
Same. i remember my big bro bumping ghetto boys on our way to school and the lyrics about putting dog heads in somebody mailbox had my little young ass shook lol must have been 89ish. then being just a couple hours from Memphis that Triple 6 hit in the early to mid 90s
Great video! Another smaller but still kinda notable detail about the genre is how a lot of current trap metal artists has elements of it their music. City Morgue would probably be the best example.
Eminem horrcore was inspired by necro and cage, necro even produced a beat for him. Once Eminem got signed he moved away from that underground sound and even dissed the people he was biting off
King Gordy took me deep into horrorcore. After I heard his verse on Horns with Tech, I went through his entire catalog, and I gotta say, my man has some out of pocket lyrics 😂
Though EMINEM isn't a horrorcore rapper, his RELAPSE / REFILL album has some great examples of horrorcore with tracks like "3 A.M.", "Stay Wide Awake", etc.. more examples of this can be found on D12's DEVILS NIGHT album as well, with records like "American Psycho" and "Devil's Night". But GRAVEDIGGAZ from WU-TANG is one of the best horrorcore rap groups to fully embrace this genre. And while BIG L was one of the greatest lyricists of all time, he was in no way a horrorcore rapper nor was he one to make horrorcore songs.
@@s.f.f.f.t11 probably so. Haven't head that one. I really didn't listen to him too much after the second album. A song here and there. 3 AM was the first thing that really caught my attention in a long time. Just drug addled craziness.
im glad you mention ICP when it comes to the history of horrorcore, so many people unfairly write them out of the conversation just because they made "miracles" and "because their music hasnt been horrorcore lately" and completely disregard their influence on the genre and how innovative they were.
Kool Keith's album (aka Dr Dooom) "First Come, First Served" I actually believe is the best one I ever heard - both of whole horrorcore genre as well as actually best one of Kool Keith in general. I listen to it pretty much at least once every month - beats and lyrics are too ridiculous. Higly recommend this one for those who wanna try listening to this genre 😛
One of my favorite artists. In the early 2010's I finally saw him at Brooklyn Bowl then walked to Music Hall of Williamsburg to see GZA perform liquid swords. Greatest night of hip-hop I've ever witnessed.
Apartment two two three. We’re your neighbors next door down on the next floor. Looking like an aardvark sitting in a fucked up parked car. Love me some KK lyrics. Used to listen to Octagon and Dooom all the time. Black Elvis as well. Chewin alligator meat live cowsteak sitting on old newspapers by the kitchen sink
Wish you would have mentioned Eshams group Natas. But I agree I have listend to him for years, he's super unique and does whatever he wants for the most part, most of his albums sound completely different from one another.
Na ....the first real "mainstream" Horrorcore artists was Bone Thugs N Harmony & then Three 6 Mafia a few years later even though they been making it longer they didn't go mainstream till like 97 , everyone else was never really mainstream at all or ever went platinum other than Eminem, D12 & ICP💯
as a fan of horrorcore since 97 bro u did a awesome job explaining this. Esham hasalways been my favorite i finally got to see him live at this year gathering it was soooo fresh!!!!
Clipping has 2 horrorcore albums, not just a few songs. Also you forgot to mention Lil Ugly Mane's early stuff as well as what Backxwash has been doing
It’s crazy to me just how many people would rather work a 9-5 rather than something they love just cause they’re afraid of failure. You’ll never get anywhere if you don’t attempt it. Keep working ! 💙💯
I want to add here group called Devilish Trio for Tennessee which held to its name, been listening to these guys for 2 years and to this day i get goosebumps while listening to their music, their song names, album covers and preeety much everything sticks with this evil/satanic shyt while also not being as corny as you would imagine. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to discover the horrorcore scene
Nah fam, each of their songs sounds the same, it's impossible to listen to. I suggest only listening to 1 or 2, after that one can claim they've listen to their whole discography.
Feel like you should have mentioned dancing with the devil by immortal technique idk if it would be considered horror core by the fans but it definitely has a similar vibe being a dark storytelling song
Kool Keith's late 90s early 00s output is some of the best rap of all time. Dr. Ocatagon's Octagonycologist and Dr. Dooom's First Come, First Served (both with Kool Keith in the lead) are masterpieces of horror-core, and hip-hop in general. If you don't know them, you don't know hip hop.
*Early Tyler, the Creator was considered horricore. Listen to his Bastard and Goblin projects. Everybody seems to forget that side of him which was fire even then.*
Clipping is definitely a horror core group by your definition and they are probably some of the best, there existed an addiction to blood is godly horrorcore and expiremental rap.
Big L is a legend, one of the greatest of the early and mid 90s. Horror Core was not a thing then, I would not consider him that, he was just a master from the age of hip hop when it was all about lyricism and battling to prove your the best. Even the greats like Nas have talked about how insane Big L's skills were.
This is a really good video as someone who came up in that early 2010s horrorcore scene around people like Donnie Menace and such. Lil bit of a memory lane walk for me. Though, my sound shifted alot as I got older and my tastes broadened/felt like I had more to say. Also had fallen out with the rapper who had gotten me into the scene when I found out his "persona" was a little more real than I was comfortable with. Edit: hearing the beat again for both, I wonder if that Geto Boys song inspired the "Assassins" song on Jeckel Brothers.
You missed Tech N9ne, he did some of horrorcore rap songs in the 90s like "hellbound", "The Anthem", and two of his biggest albums called "Anghellic", and "K.O.D.". And he even coming with a horrorcore album soon called "Bliss". Why always people forgot or don't know about Tech N9ne.
Although NECRO rejects the term "horrorcore" he is the godfather of "horrorcore" so to speak. He fits the term like a glove as a producer and a rapper.
Was hoping you weren't gonna forget Gravediggaz. They brought it to the attention of real hip-hop heads thanks to the established names that made up the group, including RZA, Prince Paul and Frukwan.
Dude Eminems Relapse/Refill is a legit (for the most part) a fully fledged horrorcore album, it has an insane amount of actual horrorcore songs on it where he's multiple killers in different songs and the things he talks about are fkn brutal. I would have 110% put that over mmlp but I can see the influence of horrorcore on mmlp per say.
No mention of Necro. Smh. Bro he's the dopest horrorcore lyricist in the entire Horrorcore genre. No cap. There's plenty reasons why he was on Paid Dues Tour
Horrorcore was inspired by Rockwell's Somebody's Watching me, and Vincent Price on Thriller. Like fast rapping. Horrorcore was a concept that mcs played around with, and often miscredit themselves for creating. Rap-A-Lot was the first to have Horrorcore records in stores. Next came the early 90s ultraviolent Gangsta Rappers (Spice 1, C-Bo). Russell Simon's coined the name Horrorcore, and wanted to push a group consisting of his Nephew, called Flatlinaz, however their album USA (Under Satan's Authority) Flocked. O.C. from DITC would release a song on his sophomore album called story, about a family being brutally tortured, murdered after the son stole from the cartel and left town. Big L would make Devils Son, after being inspired by Nas's verse on live at the barbecue. Onyx 2nd Album "AllWeGotIzUs" while not as graphic, over the top, or Violent, can be considered Horrorcore due to the dark production, sadistic lyrics, and just over all nightmarish feel of the album. AllWeGotIzUs would inspire stetsasonic members Prince Paul and Frukwan, to join Rza and Grim Reaper to create Gravediggaz. The album and group was not meant to be Horrorcore, just grim and sarcastic, although Rza's verse on 1800 Suicide is one of the best Horrorcore stories. Mid 90s The Midwest and Mid South enters the picture. Memphis, was a hub for alot of dark rappers, who used horror movie themes as beats. Bone Thugz at first were semi Horrorcore. They toned down after signing with Easy, However the rappers associated with them, such as Graveyard Shift, were Horrorcore. The last song from E 1999 Eternal, was Horrorcore, also they kept using their Horrorcore theme of Ouiji frequent. Memphis rappers Kingpin Skinny Pimp (Pls listen to "King Of The Playaball") who was a mix of Sex Rap, Gangster Rap, and Horrorcore, AL Kapone, Evil Pimp would set the tone commercially for Horrorcore in Memphis. Triple Six Mafia would drop Mystic Styles, later they would put out Kingpin Skinny Pimp's King Of The Playas Ball and Their album The End (Their most Horrorcore album). In Flint, Dayton Family would form, and push the envelope further, by rapping more aggressively. Brother Lynch Hung would release Season Of The Siccness, which would shift Horrorcore away from Bushwicks and Gangsta N.I.Ps less sensical style. To a more grounded and psychological style. 1996, The first Horrocore Rap Soundtrack Tales From The Hood would be released. Later a variation would be created called Shockcore. A mix between Battle style Rap, and Horrocore. Rappers would talk to the audience as if their battling them, and often pick certain moments in a song to pull out horrorific lines in exploitative ways to fuck with their listeners. Big L and Eminem does this all the time. In the early 90s Live Squad, the crew affiliated with Digital Underground and 2 Pac, made songs meant to shock the audience. 97 is the year Horrorcore would find its footing in rap. Brother Lynch Hung releases Loaded, a toned down, less graphic, but extremely tense and subliminal album, that still manages to have its grisly moments. DMX would debut with Its Dark And Hell Is Hot. DMX debut album is sprinkled with Horrorcore, one song X Is Coming where he raps about getting revenge, and has a line about threatening to sexually abuse a man's daughter in front of him. From 97 to 99, Rap goes through a dark period, where Death, grim songs, and horror are mixed together. 98 Wishbone releases his solo album. Which is very much a horrorcore album. Many rappers like Cage, Necro, Q-Strange, Bizarre from D12, Doomsday Production and others would start popping up. In 2001, Snoop Dogg would release the Bones Soundtrack, which is partially Horrorcore. From here on out,Horrorcore became Underground again, Brother Lynch would continue to put out project, most the 90s groups that participated in Horrorcore died off or matured away from it. Triple six mafia after signing to Loud, changed their name and started away from Horrorcore collectively, However Lord Infamous and Koopsta Knicca would make independent project. Koopstas song Voodoo Playground would be the pennicle of horrorcore in the south. DJ Paul and Lord Infamous would re-release their old projects "Exprcist tapes". Hip Hop would slowly start dying in the 2000s due to labels not giving artist chances to present their visions. Many Horrorcore artist would still put out albums. 2009, Eminem would make Relapse, that had some element of Horrorcore in it. However the bonus tape, had songs that were more horrorcore. Odd Future, would incorporate Shockc9re, and turn up the dial on atheism and childish violent raps. With Earl, Hodge Beats, and tyler pushing a alternative and more openly atheistic version of Shockcore. Tech 9ne would start a label, and sign brother Lync, who would then make his coat hanger strangler themed albums. Brother Lynch changed the tone again for Horrorcore, by making it more grisly, calculated, and ultra realistic. After the death of Lord Infamous, Seed Of 6ix was created, featuring a more polished, shocking, and rapid pace version of Triple six mafia style of Horror Rap. This is how Horrorcore was created.
@@holygwailo Yea Kool Keith is tricky one to fit in. He is one of the Golden age freshmen, like KRS One, Masta Ace, and Kool G. RAP. I wouldn't credit him that much as far as Horrorcore, most of his contributions and innovations goes towards alternative hard-core rap. His First Cone, First Serve album came out in that later half of the 90s. Way after Lench Hung. Insane Poetry, and Geto Boys were releasing some heavy songs.
So glad clipping was mentioned. I just discovered them through the new NFS game that just came out because “check the lock” is included in the game. I think they’re pretty sick.
Also big L started off with the horror core style he started off in a group a lot of you guys have never heard of. He was in a group children of the corn aka children of the corner with murda ma$e killa cam and Big L which was very much horror before he got into that flamboyant style
Why has NO ONE mentioned Delusional Thomas by Mac Miller! DELUSIONAL THOMAS IS THE DARKEST ALBUM YOU WILL EVER HEAR. Most people just can't get by the voice that Mac does to represent his demonic side. It's incredible 10/10
Would love to see you make a video on doomshop! It’s very similar to the horror core and Memphis genre, often using samples from old Memphis sigils’. Freddie dredd, SOULZAY, insomniac, baker ya maker, devilish trio, DA MENACE, and Ned bundy are all prominent creators within this genre, and are still carrying the sound till’ this day. 🔥
As a metal fan this video finally game me some more rap that I really like, I always liked when Eminem or Tyler The Creator went on half insane rambles with alot of aggression, or something like Dre/Cube - Natural Born Killaz, just wasn't ever able to find stuff like this since it wasn't as well documented as Metal genres
@@dimitris_kour1505 none of those are horrorcore albums, they do contain some horror parts but they are not focused entirely on the subject. Relapse, from start to finish, a serial killer diary
No mention of Necro? probably the only Italian jew in the scene, although he crosses over between horrorcore and gangsta rap, but then again most of them do. Also there is Gorefex, Circle of Tyrants, and others, but unlike West coast, East coast, and Memphis scenes, horrorcore is kinda all over the place, but Detroit does seem to be the main epicenter of its spread.
One of my absolute favourite horrorcore artists is Bushpig Scatbutcher. And his other group Butchers Harem. Absolute brutality in their lyrics and its all self produced too, with samples of horror movies and horror movie style backgrounds
So happy you spoke about Gravediggaz. I was actually about to comment the fact that you hadn't brought them up right before you started to talk about them. Kinda funny. Anyway, I have just watched a bunch of your vids today for the first time. I really enjoy what you upload. New Sub!!! Keep the good sh¡t coming.
I started getting more into three 6 after I heard the song stomp that sampled the unsolved mysteries theme I believe. Their hits were solid but I liked the darker vibe of their less known shit. I appreciate the genre there's a lot of solid stuff
Listen to: I thought you knew, be a witness, Sweet Robbery part 2, Mask and da Glock, A new nightmare, Bodyparts 2, Sleep, Grab Da Gauge(there’s 2 versions and they’re both sick), Last Man Standing, 187 Invitation, Live by yo Rep, Throw Yo Sets in da air, Damn I think I’m crazy, Niggaz Ain’t Barin, Break Da Law 95’, Now I’m High part 3, Motivated.
Rly disappointed that you didn't mention SuicideBoys, Ghostemane, Germ. Even though they aren't strictly horrorcore, boys even said so in an interview, i think that they are at least a part of this subgenre that shouldn't be overlooked
Mars is amazing I didn't know he had this much contreversary though he randomly followed me on twitter from ICP and I got to know how great of a person Mars truly is he does all sorta of nice things for ppl and the fact the media tries to slander him this much is gross. Also he makes dummy hard bangers
Brotha Lynch Hung had so many good songs. Sicx was another artist who rapped about some crazy shit, and to top it all off, Sicx and his girlfriend were arrested for making child pornography. Makes it so much worse.
@@mattyballz Its been given a bunch release dates over the last ten years from STEEZ when he was alive and Joey Bada$$ that where never met and there have been a bunch of quite wild theories and disputes as to why absolutely nothing has released despite it being slated to release.
@@jahck47 Joey supposedly gave it to STEEZ's family after a falling out they had, the family just don't know how to release even after all these years .

Solid! I grew up around Memphis in the 90s. Tommy Wright III, and Three 6 Mafia (known as Triple 6 in the beginning) were among the biggest in our area. I listened to them, Esham, ICP, and many other horrorcore rappers back then. Such huge influences. It seems like it’s a bit more mainstream now with the classic 808 Memphis-style sound a number of artists are using. I dig it. Thank you for the information. You definitely did a lot of great digging! 🤘🏼👊🏼
i been doing crappy rap for years some horrorcore , i'm now reinvited my self and trying strict horrorcore rap , i just made a video on my youtube th-cam.com/video/gebDQEIGDEw/w-d-xo.html and will be updating this youtube with new songs (not many videos) and links to find my songs , my style is similar to Necro mix with Brotha Lynch Hung , some might not like it alot might not but some might actually dig it , Check it out!

Maybe I'm biased being a TX native, born and raised, but Geto Boyz and NIP are definitely the beginning of the whole genre in my mind. I'm 45yrs old so I remember vividly hearing these sounds at like 5and 6 yrs old, which would have been early 80s
Yessir. I was thinking the same. Point Blank I believe even dabbed in it.
I think folks not really into the genre hear a similarity between this and what Paris, and the later Da Lynch Mob and now Tec-9 do. However, that is different than horror-core which is less political in nature
@@Tusk_Tact Ganksta nip did it and was connected with Memphis after that NY and California got know faster due to bigger production and media contract help.
Same. i remember my big bro bumping ghetto boys on our way to school and the lyrics about putting dog heads in somebody mailbox had my little young ass shook lol must have been 89ish. then being just a couple hours from Memphis that Triple 6 hit in the early to mid 90s
Great video!
Another smaller but still kinda notable detail about the genre is how a lot of current trap metal artists has elements of it their music. City Morgue would probably be the best example.
gutter crawlers is also a good example
should i put the mic down ?
In some songs yeah but city morgue is more metal based
@@oskxslos3327 100% agree but it's not hard to see the horrorcore influence too
Nobody wants to acknowledge trap metal.
Eminem horrcore was inspired by necro and cage, necro even produced a beat for him. Once Eminem got signed he moved away from that underground sound and even dissed the people he was biting off
I remember his beef with cage
La Chat is such a badass example of Memphis horrorcore. Her feature on Clipping's track Run For Your Life absolutely kills
I don't know how you missed Necro, but kudos for the big Esham shout-out
Grandmaster Flash was a big influence on Horrorcore. Have you ever heard his song New York, New York??.
King Gordy took me deep into horrorcore. After I heard his verse on Horns with Tech, I went through his entire catalog, and I gotta say, my man has some out of pocket lyrics 😂
Vader is so over the top. "Fuck jail time. Fuck if your are 12 or 90 years old, you get a dildo in your earhole."
he's one of my favorites.
Eh his lines feel generic and too for shock value
@@demonjmh he got hella flow.
@@gabrielstafford5174 i just dont care for him myself way more prominent examples like C-bo and Xraided
Though EMINEM isn't a horrorcore rapper, his RELAPSE / REFILL album has some great examples of horrorcore with tracks like "3 A.M.", "Stay Wide Awake", etc.. more examples of this can be found on D12's DEVILS NIGHT album as well, with records like "American Psycho" and "Devil's Night".
But GRAVEDIGGAZ from WU-TANG is one of the best horrorcore rap groups to fully embrace this genre. And while BIG L was one of the greatest lyricists of all time, he was in no way a horrorcore rapper nor was he one to make horrorcore songs.
Eminem Horrorcore catalog is top-tier, you'd think he was an underground rapper, rather than the biggest in the world
3 am is definitely horrorcore. lol. Dark af.
@@Shlogger 3 AM is cute, compared to Insane
@@s.f.f.f.t11 probably so. Haven't head that one. I really didn't listen to him too much after the second album. A song here and there. 3 AM was the first thing that really caught my attention in a long time. Just drug addled craziness.
I can list several similarities between icp and eminem. One being the mutual acquaintance of bizarre
How did you not mention Necro?
I used to do trap metal, and I opened for Esham back in 2018. Bro is crazy dope.
im glad you mention ICP when it comes to the history of horrorcore, so many people unfairly write them out of the conversation just because they made "miracles" and "because their music hasnt been horrorcore lately" and completely disregard their influence on the genre and how innovative they were.
They still do plenty of horrorcore, there are still plenty of murder in there music
They're wack af
Yup
@@BeanerMoney that's what i love about it. I love a song with a story that makes me laugh. I love and appreciate satirical songs/artists
ICP still makes Wicket Shit. They dont do Horrorcore. Nor does Esham and def NOT Eminem lol
"My name is Chest Rockwell, right?" Man, there's nothing that Prince Paul can't do. Gravediggaz was fantastic.
Kool Keith's album (aka Dr Dooom) "First Come, First Served" I actually believe is the best one I ever heard - both of whole horrorcore genre as well as actually best one of Kool Keith in general. I listen to it pretty much at least once every month - beats and lyrics are too ridiculous. Higly recommend this one for those who wanna try listening to this genre 😛
One of my favorite artists. In the early 2010's I finally saw him at Brooklyn Bowl then walked to Music Hall of Williamsburg to see GZA perform liquid swords.
Greatest night of hip-hop I've ever witnessed.
Dr. Octagon & dooom were some of the best albums to come out of rap in general.

Esham deserves the endorsement, a true OG of not just horrorcore but of Rap who doesn't get his due.
Preach
Eminem's Relapse album was very horror core, it was awesome.
Flatlinerz / GraveDiggaz are the fathers of HorrorCore Rap becoming almost main stream in the 90s
Facts the rza put it down
But brotha lynch been rapping since 92 as well
Na ....the first real "mainstream" Horrorcore artists was Bone Thugs N Harmony & then Three 6 Mafia a few years later even though they been making it longer they didn't go mainstream till like 97 , everyone else was never really mainstream at all or ever went platinum other than Eminem, D12 & ICP💯
Esahm n the 80's
@@mattlawrence1932 fk b n plat.. but ya crazy bone did shit wit TWIZTID
Esham! And Natas Most Definitely.
My favorite Horrorcore rapper is Necro. Very surprised to NOT hear his name in this video.
as a fan of horrorcore since 97 bro u did a awesome job explaining this. Esham hasalways been my favorite i finally got to see him live at this year gathering it was soooo fresh!!!!
Clipping has 2 horrorcore albums, not just a few songs. Also you forgot to mention Lil Ugly Mane's early stuff as well as what Backxwash has been doing
I'm glad you talked about brotha lynch hung! In High school 10-15 years ago I was always listening to his music

I want to add here group called Devilish Trio for Tennessee which held to its name, been listening to these guys for 2 years and to this day i get goosebumps while listening to their music, their song names, album covers and preeety much everything sticks with this evil/satanic shyt while also not being as corny as you would imagine. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to discover the horrorcore scene
Nah fam, each of their songs sounds the same, it's impossible to listen to.
I suggest only listening to 1 or 2, after that one can claim they've listen to their whole discography.
Feel like you should have mentioned dancing with the devil by immortal technique idk if it would be considered horror core by the fans but it definitely has a similar vibe being a dark storytelling song
man good work! that ganksta nip reference for "Psycho" is super important for horrorcore!
Relapse is my personal favorite Horrorcore album
But...Now it runs in my mind and I have graphic thinkings in my head now
thank u bro ❤
Kool Keith's late 90s early 00s output is some of the best rap of all time. Dr. Ocatagon's Octagonycologist and Dr. Dooom's First Come, First Served (both with Kool Keith in the lead) are masterpieces of horror-core, and hip-hop in general. If you don't know them, you don't know hip hop.
*Early Tyler, the Creator was considered horricore. Listen to his Bastard and Goblin projects. Everybody seems to forget that side of him which was fire even then.*
Just listen to transylvania lol you're right
Yeah Sarah is a great example
Literally, 💯
Clipping is definitely a horror core group by your definition and they are probably some of the best, there existed an addiction to blood is godly horrorcore and expiremental rap.
should i put the mic down ?
ICP, esham, Eminem, Detroit rap in general aka acid rap. 3-6 mafia, Necro, geto boys, early Tyler the creator, I could go on forever
Big L is a legend, one of the greatest of the early and mid 90s. Horror Core was not a thing then, I would not consider him that, he was just a master from the age of hip hop when it was all about lyricism and battling to prove your the best. Even the greats like Nas have talked about how insane Big L's skills were.
He was horrorcore and it was a thing in the 80s lol
6 feet deep is a fucking classic record. 1 800 suicide has one of my favorite beats ever.
This is a really good video as someone who came up in that early 2010s horrorcore scene around people like Donnie Menace and such. Lil bit of a memory lane walk for me. Though, my sound shifted alot as I got older and my tastes broadened/felt like I had more to say. Also had fallen out with the rapper who had gotten me into the scene when I found out his "persona" was a little more real than I was comfortable with.
Edit: hearing the beat again for both, I wonder if that Geto Boys song inspired the "Assassins" song on Jeckel Brothers.
Most definitely. It's more of a remake. If you haven't listened to that song go do it, in fact listen to the whole self titled album it's a banger.
was not expecting a dirty and Reyna shout-out 💀
You missed Tech N9ne, he did some of horrorcore rap songs in the 90s like "hellbound", "The Anthem", and two of his biggest albums called "Anghellic", and "K.O.D.". And he even coming with a horrorcore album soon called "Bliss". Why always people forgot or don't know about Tech N9ne.
Dope video bro ! Crazy that you didn't mention Necro though, he's a very important MC from this genre.
Whoop whoop hell yeah this video explanation was very well put together keep up the great work man.
Although NECRO rejects the term "horrorcore" he is the godfather of "horrorcore" so to speak. He fits the term like a glove as a producer and a rapper.
Death rap. He's definitely a sick lyricst but an even better producer.
Necro isn’t horrorcore he is Death Rap with his blend of metal and hip hop riffs completely different to horrorcore
Nah, Brotha Lynch without a doubt godfather
Scum is the Gorefather of horrorcore though.
Im so bummed you didnt mention Scum. A great, booming, guttural voice paired with fun lyrics (fun in a serial killer way) and really awesome beats.
LSP!!!
@@damyanp9453 Just Scum's voice alone is enough to make me nut.
Was hoping you weren't gonna forget Gravediggaz. They brought it to the attention of real hip-hop heads thanks to the established names that made up the group, including RZA, Prince Paul and Frukwan.
They came later when horrorcore rap was already on the map

Clipping. Is so underrated.
Listen to their stuff from 2019 onwards. Specifically songs like “Nothing is safe” , “Make them dead” and “He dead”
No mention of Necro. Smh. Bro he's the dopest horrorcore lyricist in the entire Horrorcore genre. No cap. There's plenty reasons why he was on Paid Dues Tour
Horrorcore was inspired by Rockwell's Somebody's Watching me, and Vincent Price on Thriller. Like fast rapping. Horrorcore was a concept that mcs played around with, and often miscredit themselves for creating. Rap-A-Lot was the first to have Horrorcore records in stores. Next came the early 90s ultraviolent Gangsta Rappers (Spice 1, C-Bo). Russell Simon's coined the name Horrorcore, and wanted to push a group consisting of his Nephew, called Flatlinaz, however their album USA (Under Satan's Authority) Flocked. O.C. from DITC would release a song on his sophomore album called story, about a family being brutally tortured, murdered after the son stole from the cartel and left town. Big L would make Devils Son, after being inspired by Nas's verse on live at the barbecue. Onyx 2nd Album "AllWeGotIzUs" while not as graphic, over the top, or Violent, can be considered Horrorcore due to the dark production, sadistic lyrics, and just over all nightmarish feel of the album. AllWeGotIzUs would inspire stetsasonic members Prince Paul and Frukwan, to join Rza and Grim Reaper to create Gravediggaz. The album and group was not meant to be Horrorcore, just grim and sarcastic, although Rza's verse on 1800 Suicide is one of the best Horrorcore stories. Mid 90s The Midwest and Mid South enters the picture. Memphis, was a hub for alot of dark rappers, who used horror movie themes as beats. Bone Thugz at first were semi Horrorcore. They toned down after signing with Easy, However the rappers associated with them, such as Graveyard Shift, were Horrorcore. The last song from E 1999 Eternal, was Horrorcore, also they kept using their Horrorcore theme of Ouiji frequent. Memphis rappers Kingpin Skinny Pimp (Pls listen to "King Of The Playaball") who was a mix of Sex Rap, Gangster Rap, and Horrorcore, AL Kapone, Evil Pimp would set the tone commercially for Horrorcore in Memphis. Triple Six Mafia would drop Mystic Styles, later they would put out Kingpin Skinny Pimp's King Of The Playas Ball and Their album The End (Their most Horrorcore album). In Flint, Dayton Family would form, and push the envelope further, by rapping more aggressively. Brother Lynch Hung would release Season Of The Siccness, which would shift Horrorcore away from Bushwicks and Gangsta N.I.Ps less sensical style. To a more grounded and psychological style. 1996, The first Horrocore Rap Soundtrack Tales From The Hood would be released. Later a variation would be created called Shockcore. A mix between Battle style Rap, and Horrocore. Rappers would talk to the audience as if their battling them, and often pick certain moments in a song to pull out horrorific lines in exploitative ways to fuck with their listeners. Big L and Eminem does this all the time. In the early 90s Live Squad, the crew affiliated with Digital Underground and 2 Pac, made songs meant to shock the audience. 97 is the year Horrorcore would find its footing in rap. Brother Lynch Hung releases Loaded, a toned down, less graphic, but extremely tense and subliminal album, that still manages to have its grisly moments. DMX would debut with Its Dark And Hell Is Hot. DMX debut album is sprinkled with Horrorcore, one song X Is Coming where he raps about getting revenge, and has a line about threatening to sexually abuse a man's daughter in front of him. From 97 to 99, Rap goes through a dark period, where Death, grim songs, and horror are mixed together. 98 Wishbone releases his solo album. Which is very much a horrorcore album. Many rappers like Cage, Necro, Q-Strange, Bizarre from D12, Doomsday Production and others would start popping up. In 2001, Snoop Dogg would release the Bones Soundtrack, which is partially Horrorcore. From here on out,Horrorcore became Underground again, Brother Lynch would continue to put out project, most the 90s groups that participated in Horrorcore died off or matured away from it. Triple six mafia after signing to Loud, changed their name and started away from Horrorcore collectively, However Lord Infamous and Koopsta Knicca would make independent project. Koopstas song Voodoo Playground would be the pennicle of horrorcore in the south. DJ Paul and Lord Infamous would re-release their old projects "Exprcist tapes". Hip Hop would slowly start dying in the 2000s due to labels not giving artist chances to present their visions. Many Horrorcore artist would still put out albums. 2009, Eminem would make Relapse, that had some element of Horrorcore in it. However the bonus tape, had songs that were more horrorcore. Odd Future, would incorporate Shockc9re, and turn up the dial on atheism and childish violent raps. With Earl, Hodge Beats, and tyler pushing a alternative and more openly atheistic version of Shockcore. Tech 9ne would start a label, and sign brother Lync, who would then make his coat hanger strangler themed albums. Brother Lynch changed the tone again for Horrorcore, by making it more grisly, calculated, and ultra realistic. After the death of Lord Infamous, Seed Of 6ix was created, featuring a more polished, shocking, and rapid pace version of Triple six mafia style of Horror Rap.
This is how Horrorcore was created.
I couldn’t believe he didn’t mention brotha lynch …that’s wild that it came from Rockwell I didn’t know that
I ain't reading all that
No mention of Kool Keith???
@@holygwailo Yea Kool Keith is tricky one to fit in. He is one of the Golden age freshmen, like KRS One, Masta Ace, and Kool G. RAP. I wouldn't credit him that much as far as Horrorcore, most of his contributions and innovations goes towards alternative hard-core rap. His First Cone, First Serve album came out in that later half of the 90s. Way after Lench Hung. Insane Poetry, and Geto Boys were releasing some heavy songs.
@@Don_Salieri1899 don't read what you can, debate it.

Also big L started off with the horror core style he started off in a group a lot of you guys have never heard of. He was in a group children of the corn aka children of the corner with murda ma$e killa cam and Big L which was very much horror before he got into that flamboyant style

Would love to see you make a video on doomshop! It’s very similar to the horror core and Memphis genre, often using samples from old Memphis sigils’. Freddie dredd, SOULZAY, insomniac, baker ya maker, devilish trio, DA MENACE, and Ned bundy are all prominent creators within this genre, and are still carrying the sound till’ this day. 🔥
It’s not sigils🤡🤣🤣🤣

I disagree, if I had to pick an Eminem's Horrorcore album, it would be either Slim Shady LP or Marshall Mathers LP
@@dimitris_kour1505 none of those are horrorcore albums, they do contain some horror parts but they are not focused entirely on the subject. Relapse, from start to finish, a serial killer diary

Nah. Season of the Siccness- Brotha Lynch
Big L was ahead of his time! One of the best lyricists ever next to Big Pun.
No mention of Necro? probably the only Italian jew in the scene, although he crosses over between horrorcore and gangsta rap, but then again most of them do. Also there is Gorefex, Circle of Tyrants, and others, but unlike West coast, East coast, and Memphis scenes, horrorcore is kinda all over the place, but Detroit does seem to be the main epicenter of its spread.
Necro is israeli
Brotha lynch is the goat of horrorcore. I’ve said for years if he just made normal music he would be one of the best of all time
I don't know about the best of all time

One of my absolute favourite horrorcore artists is Bushpig Scatbutcher. And his other group Butchers Harem. Absolute brutality in their lyrics and its all self produced too, with samples of horror movies and horror movie style backgrounds
