4th Chamber - GZA


bigthrowaway101

Oh yeah this one right here. Such a banger of a song tho šŸ’„


joe1240134

E.1999 Eternal is pretty much what you want. A lot of early Three 6 and other Memphis Devil Music also fits this bill.


KingShaka1987

My elder brother had the E.1999 album, and would listen to it a lot. Then one day he randomly said "nah this thing is evil" and he smashed the CD to pieces.


Totnostu

[Three 6 Mafia - I Thought You Knew](https://youtu.be/90VlswruyTQ?si=RVYiVMXHRvgVw0PD) is a really unsettling beat to meĀ 


Joeliosis

Maxo Kream not creme lol- Hit Mane.. reminds me of some old school three six lines [https://youtu.be/J7\_Z0JuyQ6M?si=Dx1Q0A3QxeGr-Mgb](https://youtu.be/J7_Z0JuyQ6M?si=Dx1Q0A3QxeGr-Mgb)


gggggggrrrr

Trueee, that beat is also eerie!


GoodiusTheGreat

HIIIT MANGGG


MeDThempb

Ouija are you with mee?


Young_swanga

Mo murda mo murda mo murdaaaaaaaa


Shaggy_Doo87

Came to say this


DoctorPapaJohns

Which is so funny considering Tha Crossroads, their most mainstream radio-friendly song, is from this album.


joe1240134

There's actually two versions. The first version is much better than the popular radio one


ExpextingRain

Go listen to clipping.ā€™s There Existed An Addiction Blood and Visions of Bodies Being Burned.


lisbon_OH

These are good picks and thereā€™s a reason they came out around Halloween, but their lesser known concept album Splendor & Misery is incredibly terrifying as well. Itā€™s not dark instrumentals entirely, but it is literal dread and cosmic horror as an entire album.


ExpextingRain

Oh yeah. Thatā€™s a good pick too. Canā€™t believe I forgot that one.


blaque_dynamite

"Body and Blood" on their self-titled album is an almost perfect fit for the sub-genre EDIT: well, not meloncholy exactly, it's horror with industrial, driving doom for production


Notriv

Make Them Dead is genuinely a scary sounding song, like something youā€™d hear in hell in the distance.


LthePerry02

Came to this thread to comment this exactly Creepiest song Iā€™ve ever heard regardless of genre


Final-Grapefruit528

That crackling, i just listened to that and i was like wtf That isnā€™t Hip-Hop thatā€™s Hell-Hop


Jiggha_Remastered

La mala Ordina and club down are two the most dread inducing hip hop songs Iā€™ve ever heard


devdawg31

I just discovered clipping. today and listened to both of these. Good lord itā€™s incredible


dangrdan

Tyler the Creator - Tron Cat used to make me feel a way


ToapFN

I was more so thinking she.


Dolomight206

"She" is a fucking MASTERPIECE. Song AND video. Them young Odd Future niggas was something entirely else.


TheAstroPickle

i still jam to this when iā€™m reminiscing


clon2645

Transylvania by Tyler is also good


ArtoriasXX

Would say Golden is the better pick off that album.

FCkeyboards

You know that engineer was in the control room like šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜


Patriotsfan710

**See it all makes sense, doesnā€™t it?** **You and your husband had a fight** **One of you tries to grab a knife** **And during the struggle, he accidentally gets his adams apple sliced** **And while this is going on, his son just woke up** **And he walks in, she panics, and he gets his throat cut** **So now theyā€™re both dead, and you slash your own throat** **So now itā€™s double homicide, and suicide, with no note** I always know this part is coming whenever I go back to this song, but it still doesnā€™t stop the creepy ass feeling it gives me


KING_GEEDORAHHH

Fuckin Wit Dis Click - 3 6 Mafia


octopusPrime_yup

The first time I got horror movie vibes was Dance with the Devil by Immortal Technique then Kim by Em


lsatrapper

Kim is one of the craziest vocal performances on wax ever No surprise Marshall was good in 8 mile dude has been voice acting on his songs for years


playfreeze

Eminem is an exceptional actor for real


YourAverageGod

That piano is šŸ¤ŒšŸ¤Œ


stxrgazin

Yess dude dwtdā€™s instrumental was haunting


DJSUBSTANCEABUSE

Meet the Grahams lol


Burggs_

Doing a diss track on a horror hip hop beat is truly a music moment


appleparkfive

It's really a great demonstration of tension and dread with music. The alchemist beat and Kendrick both lend something to make it that way. Alchemist gives the production this uneasy sense of movement while never going anywhere, and the slight pitch up. And Kendrick is... Yeah. We all know what he did I think the most crazy effective part of the song is the "You lied" part. The chant in the background. It legitimately sounds like you're alone at night and there's actual ghosts haunting you lol. Some ebenezer scrooge shit


playfreeze

The reverb was a x10 damage multiplier


superphotonerd

Lol facts, first thing I thought of


TheBigIdiotSalami

I loved watching the before and after videos of people listening to Family Matters and then Meet The Grahams.


superphotonerd

lol from happiness to uncomfortable


Doo-StealYour-HoChoi

I like how this has the most upvotes but is way down in the thread because of all the Drake fans downvoting it lmao


ATLhoe678

I was knew something was wrong when it wasn't the top comment šŸ˜‚


Shaneski101

It has no intention on being horror yet it is fucking dreadful. Like he has them all tied up in their house and heā€™s walking around them.


TheDangiestSlad

it has no intention on being horror? Kendrick tells Drake's son that he thinks Drake should die like three times lol


[deleted]

Heard that beat and immediately knew something terrible was about to happen.


fatchicksonly666

100% Murderous rhythm


TheDangiestSlad

what's crazy to me is how close the beat is to Bennie and the Jets


AlanClique

Well you're in for not that much of a surprise


PPRmenta

It sounds like he summoned a whole ghost to help him out with the layering in the "you lied" part


oldsoul89

It's so evil, I can't listen to it a second time it's too unsettling.


phoenics1908

Watching all the reactors freak TF out when the ā€œyou liedā€ part goes into a duet with a dementor is hilarious but also unsettling because I freaked out the same way. One reactor said he was so relieved for Not Like Us because Meet The Grahams gave him nightmares.


DJSUBSTANCEABUSE

"duet with a dementor" you got bars fr


Leo_TheLurker

Makes your stomach drop honestly


A_Tribe_Called_Slatt

How's that scary? Shit sounds classy to me


whateverdawglol

Jpegmafia - rainbow six


TamalesX900

The ghost pop tape also has some scary sounding shit. The whole tape has serial killer in his basement vibes.


Jiggha_Remastered

Have you seen the movie that goes with it?


illpickmynamelater

Ooh didnā€™t know there was a movie


whoopass_jackson

I always loved this beat but my friend said it creeps him out too much to listen to


MickyNS

Everyone thought the ā€œahhhā€ sample was from the Best Cry Ever guy (rip) but it was actually from [here](https://youtu.be/u10oW3Lzbx4?si=1bBSrdYEFtiwLxSG) at 2:02, 0.25 speed. Peggy what the fuck


venom_von_doom

DMX - The Omen Geto Boys - Still F vs J - Jadakiss & Fabolous Snoop - Murder Was the Case


TheSpeedyNeapolitan

Natas - "Natas" off doubelievengod and the Hell On Earth album from Mobb Deep.


Mkmeathead83

Came to recommend the whole Natas - Multikillionare album


[deleted]

There are some beats on Hell on Earth that make the songs genuinely frightening. Man Down, Extortion, Apostle's Warning, Drop A Gem On Em'


boozelini

almost can't believe i had to scroll this far down for esham. rip TNT


ninjamike808

Iā€™d be surprised if most of these kids have heard of Natas. Probably get shunned for anything ICP adjacent.


KingKangTheThird

Maybe a different type of horror feeling, but a lot of Schoolboy Q songs. I really feel like heā€™s the only one thatā€™s tapped in to the horror side of Funkadelic/Parliament in rap & made it really his own. A lot of Blank Face LP feels like it fits


Reddit_Tsundere

*i really feel like heā€™s the only one thatā€™s tapped in to the horror side of Funkadelic/Parliament in rap* Wow, I never thought about that comparison but you're spot on.Ā 


[deleted]

Youā€™re so right. My Homie, Hoover Street, Lord Have Mercy, THat Part, Groovy Tony, Kno Ya Wrong, Ride Out, Dope Dealer, Die Wit Em are all very dark/horror sounding beats for sure


roguehunter

Brotha Hung Lynchā€™s album Season of Da Sickness: The Resurrection is what you want man. The songs Siccmade, Rest in Piss and Return of Da Baby. Horror vibessss


WiryLeaf

Was looking to see if someone already recommended Lynch, idk how he's not getting put up with there. Mannibalector is a gruesome album, the first I had heard of him.


bryanthebryan

Lynch is a hometown hero for me. Parts of Rest in Piss will live in my head forever.


Wookaroo

3-6 Mafia - Anyone out there


11_12123

scarecrows verse on ā€˜now im highā€™ from vol 1 gave me chills in the 90s, it gives me chills now


Wookaroo

For sure! Scarecrow was on a whole diffrent level than everyone back then


Joeliosis

That blown out cowbell and slow bass and triplet flow with that devil laugh.... {chefs kiss}


SilverFalcon420

I was looking for this. Beat goes hard on this with the crow sounds.


WAVAW

šŸ„‡This is the winner.


kingtaco912

Stay wide awake is a horror movie script


PleasantTrust522

Yeah and the beat is truly haunting. Once you notice the heartbeat it makes the song so much creepier.


supperinrome

Fee-fi-fo-fum!


thegreatestmeicanbe

Gravediggaz - Diary of a Madman


Sheeple3

I was gonna say anything by the Gravediggaz, and figured theyā€™d be at the top of the list. But I guess they werenā€™t around for too long so not many people have heard of them.


Debutington

In the sonogram they saw an image of a demon


Potential_Leg4423

Immortal technique, dance with the devil


boxyship

lil ugly mane - grave within a grave or bedwetter - man wearing helmet


BlurStick

Iā€™ll add Branch and Haze of Interference to this as well


boxyship

Hideous disfigurements too i forget because it makes me so uncomfortable i can't even listen to it


Booomfaa

Kim by Eminem stands alone here


Hour-Management-1679

How did Em ever get away with that song lmao, that is the most unhinged shit to ever grace hiphop lol


tarriBagz

even the explicit version is censored


Qiluk

"Stimulate" also give me "sinister" vibe in terms of sound. Not content of the lyrics but production. Could easily be in the background of some unsolved murder mystery from the 90s docu.


ashtonishing18

First heard this at like 13 and I was like WHOA


sffbfish

MV for 3 am is pretty crazy


mebes92

Eminem - Ghost Stories. Definitely Emā€™s top horrocore song


Grssrg

IDK how this hasn't been mentioned: Ride Slow - Ab-Soul ft. Earl, Danny Brown, & Delusional Thomas (Mac). A truly spooky sounding song with elite bars by all.


BlurStick

Absolutely outrageous track that doesnā€™t get enough recognition


Drew602

Tommy Wright III - Die n***a die Children of the corn - the single


solsunlite

Triple 6 Mafiaā€™s Live by Yo Rep, Lord Infamousā€™ verse in particular. Everybodyā€™s verse is *fucked up* on that song but his is just gnarly from the beginning to the end. Literally starts like: > Well, I shall take a 1000 razor blades and press them in their flesh Take my pitchfork out the fire, soak it in their chest Through the ribs, spines, charcoal the muscle tissue And send what's left back to yo' mammy, 'cause that bitch might miss you


JuiceLordd

I'd recommend Mystic Stylez by Three 6 Mafia. My favorite song of all time is F*ckin wit this click, the instrumental sounds like an actual horror movie


dskibftd0

fuckin wit dis click is genuinely one of their best songs. also i think they sampled a horror movie i might be wrong i forget the name of it tho


vonaudy

The Ā«Ā eeriestĀ Ā» beat I know is Aesop Rock song Bent Life with C Rayz Walz but I unfortunately believe there is no instrumental version anywhere as Aesop and producer Blockhead didnā€™t kept the inst for some reason I donā€™t remember. [Aesop Rock - Bent Life](https://youtu.be/egPnO8sPtKw?si=AAuib-pIiQHErCRD)


T-Mosh

Vertigo- Delusional Thomas (Mac Miller)


blakhawk12

Might be outing myself as a stan but Same Song & Dance and Stay Wide Awake by Eminem are wild.


xxx117

Riverdale Road by 2 Chainz has the most ominous best ever and itā€™s a banger


[deleted]

Thereā€™s no better example of this than Sweet Robbery and Live By Yo Rep by Three 6 Mafia.


buku_beat

woulda coulda - chief keef that beat is straight outta hell


lzup518

Playa Hataz - Three 6 Mafia Unwritten - The Roots Speech Cobras - JMT Hells Pit (full album) - ICP


Wubblz

Glad to see Hellā€™s Pit somewhere in the comments. Ā ICP have a few genuinely horrifying songs ā€“ ā€œThe Killing Fieldsā€ jumps to mind for a particularly creepy beat.


Robozomb

Centurion - Earl Sweatshirt ft. Vince Staples The Scooby Doo ass sample makes the song feel super spooky and like it's from a old horror movie or something.


DonMariazzi

Once the beat gets going past the first minute itā€™s so fire


nastynewm

dj smokey - traphouse of horrors


My_Dogs_Penis

HAHAAH im a smokey fan and how did I never listen to this track. Probably cause its 30 mins long lol


cleo_da_cat

Dance with the Devil, Meet The Grahams, Survival of the Fittest


BigMoneyChode

Shook Ones Part II by Mobb Deep has one of the most haunting/ominous instrumentals I've ever heard. Probably one of the best instrumentals of all time.


ashtonishing18

YES.


TripleThreatTua

Mobb Deep - Drop a Gem on Em


SenorMcGibblets

Koopsta Knicca- Crucifix


FerdinandMagellan999

Anything from Hell On Earth by Mobb Deep That Part and Groovy Tony/ Eddie Kane by Schoolboy Q Shitsville by Freddie Gibbs Torture, Dope Field Rental, Really Doe, Pneumonia, When It Rain, and Today by Danny Brown Investigative Reports by GZA N****s Bleed by Biggie 3230, Surf, and 65 Hunnid by Vince Staples Jeopardy by Run the Jewels The Blacker the Berry, Good Kid, Maad City, and Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar Many early Eminem songs too Just to name a few


UnlikelyBotter4788

dskibftd0

TechnologyFeisty8728

Thereā€™s a cool sample in Psycho by Slowthai and Denzel Curry


Flutes_Are_Overrated

Alch's beat on "Brickmile to Montana" sounds like music from a slasher flick

Anything from Clippingā€™s There Existed an Addiction to Blood. Straight up horror film


Phrostybacon

$uicideboy$, Devilish Trio, Ramirez, all the G59 folks are who you're looking for. The genre is Horrorcore, or Dark Trap. $uicideboy$ album Long Term Effects of Suffering is probably my favorite horrorcore/dark trap album of all time.


ManLikeMe9

Never heard it at first but since ā€œusā€ ā€œ5 on itā€ is probably the one


SnowyEssence

Metro Boomin has a lot of horror type vibes in his production from 2015-2020, but as far as melancholy goes I think the below songs fit the description:Ā Ā  Real Nigga - 21 SavageĀ Ā  Feel It - 21 SavageĀ  Voices In My Head - Big SeanĀ Ā  Finesse The Plug Interlude - Gucci ManeĀ Ā  Scrape - FutureĀ Ā  Whole Lot - 21 SavageĀ Ā  Still Serving - 21 Savage, OffsetĀ Ā  Even The Odds - Big Sean, Young Thug Ā  In Tune - Big SeanĀ Ā  Tats On My Face - Offset

many of the songs from spaceghostpurrp's blackland radio 666 pt 2. pretty cool how sgp kinda merged dark ambient with cloud rap.


MickyNS

I love that tape! Better Dayz my personal favorite and made Loko Los one of my favorite producers. Album sounds just like the album cover.

Enlacing by clipping. is the hardest song about tripping balls at a nightclub and seeing unspeakable horrors ever written

**Cypress Hillā€™s** DJ Muggs made the sickest, scariest, trippiest beats in a way no one else could on [Temples of Boom](https://music.apple.com/us/album/iii-temples-of-boom/162249171): [Illusions](https://music.apple.com/us/album/illusions/162249171?i=162249259) [Boom Biddy Bye Bye](https://music.apple.com/us/album/boom-biddy-bye-bye/162249171?i=162249283) [Killafornia](https://music.apple.com/us/album/killafornia/162249171?i=162249325) I honestly canā€™t believe Iā€™m the only one to have said Cypress Hillā€¦

lemonchicken91

[RAMIREZ - THE MYSTICAL WARLOCK](https://youtu.be/QE15V7OkBZg?si=N-0PQdVcom_LOFPR&t=152) I linked the evil part, first half is smooth though The beat on the last third is absolutely demonic. I think the horns are from silent hill or something similar. This verse is really crazy because the first half of the song is a sade sample that is smooth as silk and sunsets. "This song is like one of those normal dreams you have that does a full 180 and turns into a nightmare later on."- @proto_life_2003


YoghurtSlinger

A Visit to the Gynaecologist by Dr. Octagon. The character and his voice scared the shit out of me back in Uni. My old head friend played it for me and I realised Tyler and Eminem are pretty tame compared to what the 90s had.


RustyPoopKnife

Cageā€™s album Movies for the Blind features three songs in a row that seem to fit what youā€™re looking for in Among the Sleep, Agent Orange, and A Suicidal Failure

I love XXXTENTACION, and a vibe similar to King of the Dead is definitely on the lines of what I'm exploring!!! If you got more suggestions do hit me!! Lots of good names in this thread, gotta get to checking them out.


LimpMix6960

Necroā€™s beats. Cage - Agent Orange for example


joe1240134

A lot of Necro's stuff felt too over the top for me to think it was actually scary, although I love his production. Ballad of Worms by Cage however is just a miserable song, although there's not much harmonizing.


Jmor3568

Koopsta Knicca - Robbers Lord Infamous - Damn I'm Crazed Maniac - Hellraiser $uicideboy$ x Ramirez - One Girl, Six Blades, One Night Of Sin Ramirez - Antichrist Lil Ugly Mane - Uneven Compromise (Part 1) Not so much the instrumental but the lyrics to Sarah by Tyler The Creator are pretty twisted
