im not really into ICP and king gordy and shit like that. but some ppl consider brotha lynch hung horrorcore, older Three 6 Mafia you could def. consider horrorcore with their violent lyrics and i consider horrorcore, shit that sounds scary and eerie, and three 6 mafia are known for their eerie beats and dark sound. and idk why but i went on a horrorcore forum and they were talkin about tech on there alot. idk if i'd consider tech horrorcore even tho alot of his shit is dark.
if they were in it for fame and money they wouldnt do horrorcore
to me, the two kings are Lo Key and King Gordy and theyre nobodies
and trav chill with the eating babies, the only ones ive heard say shit like that are sutter kain and lynch
Sleeping Beauty is one of the best horrorcore songs to me
absolutley perfect

stephen king has never claimed he does the stuff he writes,
as the horror core artists do say ''im thinking of killing and eating babies''
agin the word im is used to describe something you are gonna do or are doing
now im sure its all for entertainment but how do you enjoy hearing about someone killing and likening it?
we've went through this part already
you have a point there, yes i visualized it happening
but i dunno its hard for me to explain typing it, but ill try the best
ok people don't like soulja boy cause he has a dance song and is making money off of it which is more realistic then horror core, dancing and is a form of entertainment, people like to dance to music... so if you don't like soulja boy cause he is not gangsta, a real mc, or is just in it for the money, then the same should go for horror core artist
they don't spit the truth, its all entertainment in which they don't live, and therefor they would just be doing it for the money right? or they enjoy talking about killing babies and eating people which then means theres something wrong with them mentally... so then if you enjoy hearing and visualizing horror music because the art of story telling it is great, then do not bash on soulja man for making entertainment for dancers and do not say he is in it for the money, soulja boy can not single handily destroy hip hop/rap, if thats the case then horror core need to be in the same category as soulja boy, cause they just make entertainment for money, but id have to go with soulja boy over horror core as cause he makes dance songs, cause dancing may be his passion, as to where if horror core artist passion is talking about killing, and eating people or acting crazy and hard, then theres something wrong, but that may not be the case they may just love the horror genre so much to make music out of it...

my mom and a couple of her friends were bumping it in the front room
man i was scared as hell, the stuff they said talking bout killing people with broken brooms.. i couldn't sleep and every time it was time for me to go to bed thats all i could think about, i think i was bout to start crying when i heard that shit lol

So the real reason for disliking it comes out. lol
Points about horrorcore:
1.) Its taste, not everyone's gonna like it, period. Its a niche genre, and the artists know that.
2.) Horrorcore, being that niche genre, is in no way a form of sellout rappers cashing in, because the majority of horrorcore rappers are broke as fuck, unless they have outside income.
3.) Comparing Souljah Boy to horrorcore is pretty weak. No one artist compares to an entire genre.
4.) Like any genre, there shitty artists, and good ones. Some are garbage who just want to shock, some are talented making art or entertainment.
5.) There are very talented artists, who speak with differing intentions. Cyco of Insane Poetry makes all his music based on real life events, to speak out against all that's evil and depraved in the world. Eminem wrote Kim based on his feelings and dark desires in regards to his wife cheating. DMX wrote Damien and the song about fucking a corpse to make a point, but do you think he actually worked for the son of the Devil? Krayzie Bone wrote Don't Know Why about killing while sleepwalking because he feared it.
6.) Horrorcore does get repetitive and cheesy, but so does any other genre. I think rap about pimping and selling drugs is boring and corny. But then comes someone who can flip the style and do it differently, like Tech's party tracks. Or how King Gordy flipped his wicked shit with some battle-style tactics. Or Bone Thugs were the first big rappers to sing with their rap. You can't condemn a genre because there are shitty artists or songs, cuz there's shitty folk in every genre.
That's all I can think of for now.

I've always believed the idea that you should write about what you know, or people are gonna call u out on it. It goes the same way for white people rapping. I like some white rappers, but alot of white people trying to rap suck IMO, this is where we get the term, wigger. I really can't stand white guys who try to make the hip hop culture, part or their personalities. and yes I am white.
Write about what you know, or people are gonna call you out on it. Tech even says this in one of his interviews

Well, a lot of these people know horror well. A lot of the better horrorcore artists are huge fans of stuff like Friday the Thirteenth, Nightmare on Elm Street, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Wes Craven, Stephen King, Alfred Hitchcock, Edgar Allen Poe, Exorcist, and shit like that, and that IS what you know.
Rapping what you know, or even what you live, doesn't necessarily mean write non-fiction. For instance, if you were to feel conflicted about something, not sure if you want to do something, or you feel kinda guilty, but still really want to, you might write a song where you hear voices in your head telling you to do different things. You don't REALLY hear this voices, but you DO have differing views creating confusion in your mind.
I've heard a LOT of BIG rappers, and GOOD rappers say in interviews that 'if I didn't rap, I'd be in jail. I rap about this stuff, and spend my time making this music, so I don't HAVE to do it any more. I keep busy making music so I don't get into trouble' And people would say they are fake for that? Look DOWN on them? Look at Tupac and Biggie. They were really thugs. Now they're dead for it. Look at ODB and DMX. They both REALLY smoke crack. One has lost all respect for it, the other died from it. Does that make them better? No.
Rap is a skillful art. If Tech N9ne lived the exact life, but rapped like Souljah Boy or Mike Jones, how many people in here would listen to him? Even he spoke about the same things, and was truthful about his life? A LOT fuckin' fewer than him. There's a LOT more to be said for rap than just the content. The delivery, flow, complexity, and technique effect people's opinions a LOT. So how can an entire genre be judged by only one aspect of its entirety?

lol @ me not likening it cuz i was scared of it, i knew sum 1 was gonna say that haha
1.) correct
2.) i guess
3.) i it depends on the artist does soulja man really love to dance and make dance music, as the same for horror core do they really love horror stuff so they make music out of it? or is it they that soulja man and horror core artist just want money? just comparing the ways of why they rap, not there styles or flows
4.) correct
5.) i dunno what your getting at
6.) correct
ok you kinda going off topic, and the people i see fake in my eyes are the ones who claim they do something and they don't, or claim they did something and they didn't... thats fake to me... so instead of being in jail they make music about stuff they could do? thats non sense anyone can do that
i could rap all day about the stuff i could do, and so could you...
im not saying you can only rap about the stuff you lived, but there is so many studio gangstas in the industry, that claim so much that they have not done..
R.I.P pimp c, he was a real dude and even knew what the industry has and is today, a bunch of phoney's... also if they want to stay out of jail and make music why do they rap about the the stuff that could have gotten them into jail
? why don't they rap on a more positive level, and try to convince others that jail is not the place to go
hes talking about the wack ones, he didn't say every white guy cant rap
And i agree with him i hate it when a white guy trys so hard to be gangsta
1.) correct

Horrorcore is broke down really easy:
Its entertainment. Music is the same as movie genres. You have fictional, Love stories, etc. etc. Horrorcore is the horror movie version of music.
Its entertainment, period.
People don't watch horror movies because they think the shit may have really happened. Same for people who listen to horrorcore/acid rap/death rap/wickid shit (what ever you want to call it) Its because some people like it.
And the best horrorcore artists IMO are:
-Mars
-Lo Key
-Esham
-Natas
-BLH
-Twiztid
-Necro
