goth rap

I'm looking for something with classical samples, or theatrical bells and organs, or even Black Sabbath style eary heavy metal.

clouddead have been called goth-hop (although i don't see why), and the group has subsequently used the term to describe themselves, tongue-in-cheek of course.

Gravediggaz is about the closest i can think of, not goth though, just dark

I can imagine if you've never heard the crap that spews from the mouths of ICP, a quick look at them might make you think they'd be the closest thing possible.

okay, new clause, no retarded shit.

i dont want anything hardcore, dumb or very agressive. More along the lines of experimenting with dark themes. like something RZA would do, but with a dark twist.

Definitely Gravediggaz then, as it's a RZA side project

I come to think of Natas - detroit based horror rap which they call acid rap! Not that they sound like black sabbath/heavy metal or anything but they got some

fucked up lyrics :D

Bushido has also sampled two songs from Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows' album Dead Lovers Sarabande Face One, as was mentioned in a blog by Anna-Varney on her MySpace page.

sweet beans! is the production good? what sort of samples are we talking?

I have a song by A Pod called How Does it Feel

I can't find any information on the web about it so maybe I can post it on YouTube

it is very much Goth Rap, no doubt

poetry in motion - gun checka (cant find a video)

oh and theres also this whole horrorcore business like q strange and shit but you said you dont want no over the top crap so maybe thats not really your style

Eww, a couple of the Detroit "artists" mentioned should be avoided at all costs, just crap...

I think Mobb Deep is a good call, I don't know if I would quite call it gothic, but Cannibal Ox has kind of a dark feel.

SHook Ones is one of the best most depressing, somewhat terrifying rap songs ive ever heard...the melody says so much more than the lyrics do.

you might like Dälek - their music is pretty dark and grimey

agreed, and Havoc produced that beat when he was 19, which is quite an achievement

see, man... fuck all the dumb IDM artist subforum requests, WATMM needs a hip hop subforum.

it seems like people on WATMM either love hip hop or don't want to see threads about it.

here you go
