A good evening to you all. In place of your beloved Rap Critic, I will be stepping in this October to guide you through the darker recesses of Hiphop, the blood-stained corners and crevices that turn the most sane individual to madness. I go by many names, striking fear in the hearts of men and excitement in the hearts of women, but the one I've taken the most liking to is Black Thunder, the ghost of Isaac Hayes, and this month, we will dwell amongst the most haunting lyrics in Hiphop, the sounds that send chills into the souls of men, and rattles their very faith in humanity. Starting things off right, I will begin with the Top 6 Most Haunting songs in Hip hop. Why top six? *chuckles* I think you figure it out. These are tunes of terror, songs that not only jump-scare you like so many cheap horror flicks, no, I mean songs that carve their dark thoughts into your psyche, making you just that much more reluctant to turn off the lights on pitch black evenings. These are songs you put on when you not only want to spook your guests, these are songs you put on when you want them to gaze at you in wise eyed, slack jawed shock of your twisted choice in music. I'm actually serious, the songs I'm about to show you will not be the Rap version of the Monster Mash, we're about to get into some serious shit, my friends. We will be covering some demented material, so I'll actually have to deliver a trigger warning for this episode and some of these songs. I mean it, if you have weak constitutions for violent or sexual themes, you may want to stop watching right now. So, having been fairly warned, let's get started
Top 6 Most horrifying rap songs:
6 2 Pac "Hail Mary"
Now, the creepiest thing about the song, isn't necessarily the lyrics themselves, it's about the beat, the delivery of the rhymes, and the context within which this song was released
Come with me
Hail Mary nigga, run quick see
What do we have here now
Do you wanna ride or die
You see, all his career, he had been obsessed about his own death and what would happen to him if he was murdered, and then, once he actually was killed, a couple of months later, the music video for this song came out, complete with Bells resembling tolls of death, cryptic lyrics coupled with whispering and screaming, and a video about Makaveli, his new rap name, calling back to Machiavelli, rising from the grave and enacting revenge on his enemies
Bow down, pray to God, hoping that he's listening
Seeing niggas coming for me, through my diamonds, when they glistening
Now pay attention: bless me please Father, I'm a ghost
In these killing fields, Hail Mary, catch me if I go
Let's go deep inside the solitary mind of a madman
Screams, in the dark, evil lurks, enemies, see me flee
This whole package was just too real to not be playing into a bigger conspiracy about 2Pac's possible return or revenge upon his enemies
However, as creepy and unsettling as 2Pac's presence is on this song, there's a couple of things that keep it from being higher on this list. Those things would be the guest verses
