What's the darkest, most atmospheric hip hop album you ever listened to?

[nairdas]

E.1999 Eternal

 

[submarine1]

Psycho Realm first 2 albums

 

[tuckgod]

Top 10 intro leading up a song of all time.

Absolute fire!

Also one of rare occasions when you heard a intro or interlude with a fire ass beat, and was disappointed that they wasted a good beat by talking over it, wishing they rhymed to it, then they came back and blessed you...









To this day, I CAN NOT listen to this song while i'm driving...

 

[Figaro]

oh. runners up.

as an overall ALBUM producer, meaning crafting an album around a specific theme? Kno from CunningLynguists is underrated as shyt.

 

[Da_Eggman]

 

[pauljerico]

Liquid Swords...

 

[TheJet]

Oneirology just has that melancholy vibe throughout. Unmatched

 

[KravenMorehead™]

 

[ULCYril]

Sadstik:flowers for my father just a dark/gloomy album start to finish but a good one

 

[Doomsday]

East 1999 Eternal by Bone Thugs is the posterchild for that sound. They perfected it.
It's Dark And Hell Is Hot by DMX

 

[samutahjazz]

Leak bros- waterworld

Shermed out raps over spaced out beats...

 

[HollywoodP]

aside from the ones mentioned...

The Untouchable - Scarface (The utter definition of this thread)
Death Is Certain - Royce Da 5'9
Aquemini - Outkast (More atmospheric...but def had its dark moments)
Face Off - Pastor Troy






I picture all these albums being recorded in dark ass smokey studios with black lights or candles

 

[Ohene]

Blvcklvnd Rvdix 66.6

Not sure dark is how if describe cause its so bouncy

 

[Mac Ten]

Hell On Earth by Mobb Deep…


2Pac going at them and any other NY cats, Scarface Twin getting killed in a accident, Karate Joe getting beat with a bat, etc.


All these events resulted in a dark album made for those cold blistery nights.


A lot of the gun talk by P and Hav were too descriptive.


P talking about putting holes in someone’s shirt like Jamaican clothes,
Mobb Deep flipping Amazing Grace into a murder anthem


If u listen closely to the intro before the gunshots went off on GOD Pt. 3, u can hear P and Hav having The Twilight Zone playing in the background before killing a man
