Unrelated to this weeks album, who has suggestions for our October 31st thread? I wanted something horror-core to fit with Halloween, but I’ve never been in to that sub-genre of Hip Hop really. Or if anybody has a Halloween theme album that is legitimately good. Let me know. I don’t want to just look up “best horror-core rap albums” though I can do that too if nobody has any suggestions.
Halloween Havoc mixtape series by Lloyd Banks is dope.
But I imagine with this place, you’ll get more traction doing some older classics like Bone Thugs or Three6 tapes
I’ll check out the Halloween Havoc tapes! Thanks for the suggestion. I can go with a classic if nothing else jumps out cause you are probably right about the general audience of this sub.
That said, the 2 albums before Halloween are both certified classics imo so we will see haha
I love those Halloween Havoc tapes, and I hope another one comes out this year… but it’s Lloyd Banks. If you like him, you probably like everything by him cause its consistent ha.
If you are trying to come up with something a little more modern, I remember Without Warning - 21/Metro dropped on Halloween.
Or another classic… Big L was a talented horrorcore GOAT.
Appreciate you keeping this sub alive, cause I know I’m not doing shit ha
I really like clipping.'s There Existed an Addiction to Blood (2019) or Visions of Bodies Being Burned (2020). They definitely fit the horror theme however both include elements of noise and industrial music and they can be more challenging listens at times.
I’ll check out both of those, thank you for the suggestion! The two weeks before Halloween are pretty traditional rap albums so maybe something kind of off the rails could be fun.
