This is my GOAT Wu song. I have literally never stopped listening to it since it dropped.

EDIT...meaning I listen to it frequently and regularly. not non-stop.

The beat is so unique I don't think I've heard anything like it before or after.

Genius was spitting crazy wisdom 2. Type of wisdom that justified his name/title

I'm not sure if OP means " dark and atmospheric" as in Pink Floyd type of music....or Makaveli kill everybody type of music

Both.

Portishead's whole catalog falls under this category. They aren't rappers but their music has a huge hip hop influence.

Dummy is one of my favorite albums.

Cypress Hill's Temple of Boom has some haunting production on it.
