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

[ZEB WALTON]

Mobb deep hell on earth
Onyx all we got iz us (SUPER UNDERRATED ALBUM)
Cannibal ox the cold vein
Gza liquid swords

Which are all in my top 10.

Also adding
Gravediggaz 6 feet deep
And parts of MBDTF hit the vibes of that yoo

 

[Zero]

Onyx all we got iz us (SUPER UNDERRATED ALBUM)

Man I forgot all about this one

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

EL-P- I'll Sleep When You're Dead:

This album captures a hopeless future with chaos and frustration.

Koopsta Knicca- Da Devil's Playground:

Nuff said. Album is like riding shotgun with Satan under the influence.

DMX- It's Dark and Hell Is Hot

Looking deep into this album. The shyt is like memoirs of a madman. From the Intro to the bonus track, DMX's first album felt like a raw Hughes Brothers movie.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Man I forgot all about this one

Shame this album doesn't get much recognition when classic album discussions get brought up. The intro summed up the overall feeling of the album.

 

[ShadowViper]

 

[phatphuck]

6 feet deep

followed by others in no particular order:
dare iz a darkside
heavy mental
hell on earth

they say never judge a book from its cover but its pretty eazy to judge the 'darkness' of a hip hop album from its cover, no?

[Pazzy]

Shame this album doesn't get much recognition when classic album discussions get brought up. The intro summed up the overall feeling of the album.

Never heard the whole album but the intro has always made me cringe. I hate it. That song hits way too close personally.
