7 Of Hip-Hop’s Spookiest Music Videos Of All Time

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Music videos, when done right, will always take the listening experience of a song to the next level, and Hip Hop has a number of impressive visual treats. The horrorcore rap subgenre, although not as mainstream, has some pretty iconic scary music videos that perfectly fit the October vibes. However, the macabre nature of horrorcore rap renders is not something everyone can stomach. Nonetheless, these videos have proven to be a hit with horror fans. With Halloween fast approaching, now is as good a time as any to look back on some scary music videos Hip Hop has to offer.

“Murder Was The Case” – Snoop Dogg (1993)

“Murder Was The Case” was first released as a track on Snoop Dogg’s debut studio album, Doggystyle (1993). The following year, the iconic music video was released as a short film of the same name starring the rapper in the lead role. The song on its own was already quite spooky but watching Snoop Dogg converse with the devil in the video took it up a notch. That moment, in particular, is particularly scary, and a main highlight of the video. As the two strike the deal, Snoop Dogg’s character resurrects, spending the rest of his life in servitude to the devil.

“Martians Vs. Goblins” – The Game Ft. Lil Wayne & Tyler, The Creator (2011)

This song was released as a part of The Game’s fourth studio album, The R.E.D. Album in 2011. The Game and Tyler, The Creator star as two patients in a psychiatric hospital. Wayne holds down hook duties yet doesn’t appear in the music video. “Martians vs. Goblins” contains some attention-grabbing controversial lyricism from the MCs involved. The video is also expertly done and just as captivating, albeit quite unsettling to watch.

“Mind Playing Tricks On Me” – Geto Boys (1991)

The music video for Geto Boys’ classic song is simple but brilliant. The video follows a narrative structure spelled out by the song’s lyrics. Each member of the Geto Boys recounts their individual encounters with fear and paranoia. While the narrative style is vivid and immersive, the Geto Boys’ accentuate their anxieties in the song’s visual accompaniment. Keep your doors locked when you watch this scary music video, as it’s visually dark and mesmerizing.

“Demons” – Doja Cat (2023)

Doja Cat recently released her latest album, Scarlet, after dominating 2021 with Planet Her. Doja was clearly in her horrorcore rap bag, and no other song proves it as much as “Demons.” As a standalone audio track, the song encapsulated high-octane rage. However, when paired with the music video, “Demons” becomes quite the spooky rap offering. Doja herself stars as a demon in the music video, and she delivers a very convincing performance. “Demons” is certainly one of the scariest music videos that deserves a play this Halloween.

“Monster” – Kanye West ft. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj & Bon Iver (2010)

Horror-themed music videos are often controversial, and this music video is not exempt. “Monster” is one of the standout tracks from Kanye West’s critically acclaimed album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). The music video stars West, Minaj, and Jay-Z, and utilizes horror-inspired, gothic themes. It is dark, scary, and contains some disturbing imagery that took inspiration from movies like American Psycho and Saw. “Monster” is widely renowned for Nicki Minaj’s iconic rap verse, but her cameo in the music video was equally exciting. Moreover, due to widespread backlash of the controversy, the video was banned on MTV and later, removed from Kanye West’s official YouTube page.

“3 a.m.” – Eminem (2009)

The cinematography of Eminem’s “3 a.m.” music video is expertly done. If it intends to terrify, then it is successful, because the video dishes out a palpable sense of dread and danger. Bones, blood, and dead bodies are shown in flashes, which somehow makes the images last longer in viewers’ minds. The found footage-style recording of Eminem in the woods heightens the spookiness of the video, making it quite scary. At times, the images are graphic, so viewer discretion is strongly advised.

“Meat Cleaver” – Brotha Lynch Hung (2013)

Scary music videos are widespread in music, and the horrifying visuals of “Meat Cleaver” extend far beyond Hip Hop. In fact, it opens with a disclaimer, warning viewers about what they are about to see. Brotha Lynch Hung is widely regarded as a legend in the horrorcore rap scene, and some even regard him as the originator of the subgenre. The rapper has many unsettling tracks, but “Meat Cleaver” definitely ranks amongst his most disturbing. The scary clip contains the most graphic visual content on this list and is certainly one of the creepiest music videos you will see anytime soon.

This a major achievement for Eminem that can add to his long list of accomplishments.

Symba Thinks He’s A Better Rapper Than Eminem

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Eminem’s status as a rap legend has been a topic of debate lately. Bay Area rapper Symba recently made the statement that he believes he’s a better rapper than the “Mockingbird” rapper. Symba’s perspective came to the forefront during a panel discussion titled “The Great Debate” at REVOLT World in Atlanta, Georgia over the weekend. In this spirited exchange, Symba expressed his belief that he surpasses Eminem in the realm of rap. He believes that “anybody can rhyme words,” and even doubled-down on his statement by saying that he could name five better rappers than Eminem.

While acknowledging his respect for Eminem as a person, Symba drew a sharp distinction when assessing their respective rap abilities. “I respect Eminem on a level as a man,” Symba started. “But as a rapper, I feel like I can name five better rappers.” One of his fellow panelists, Tierra Whack, didn’t beat around the bush and posed the direct question, asking, “Wait, so, you think you’re better than Eminem?” Symba took a moment to think about it, but then responded with a direct “Yes.” He continued and said, “Anybody can rhyme words, [but] what are you saying?”

However, Symba provided context and reasoning for his statement. He elaborated on his position, emphasizing that in the world of rap, it’s not just about rhyming words. He feels what truly sets a rapper apart is the depth of substance and the impactful message portrayed through their lyrics. Symba, who proudly reps the Bay Area, has hits of his own. His messages in his music could be seen as impactful, too. His 2022 album Results Take Time, for example, featured prominent artists such as Roddy Ricch, 2 Chainz, and Pusha T. This was the album that helped put him on the map and showcased his authentic rhymes and style of delivery.

This ongoing debate about Eminem’s position in rap continues to fuel discussions. It usually brings up interesting conversations about the essence of true artistry in hip-hop and whether Eminem’s celebrated status as the “Rap God” remains unchallenged. Other than Symba not putting in Eminem in his top five, there’s many people around the world who do. Eminem’s successful rap career has earned him around ten No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, as well as an estimate of 115 million records sold worldwide. Most recently, Eminem made a surprise performance at 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour in Detroit, where his daughter Hailie was in attendance and spoke on how excited she was. Stay tuned to HNHH for more music news.

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Hailie Mathers was born into a world of lyrical warfare, the doting subject of rap titan Eminem’s verses and the emotional cornerstone of his legendary narrative. The limelight was practically her birthright, but what’s interesting is her choice to sidestep the path of celebrity excess. In a world where the offspring of the rich and famous often find it difficult to carve out their own identity, Hailie has managed to find her own footing. According to Bio Overview, a glance into her financial status reveals an impressive net worth of $2 million.

From Daddy’s Rhymes To Graduation Caps

Eclipsed by a father whose name reverberates from Detroit to Dubai, Hailie Jade Scott Mathers set out to chart a course that would grant her individuality and personal fulfillment. She could have chosen the glamour of the entertainment industry, but she took a different route, opting for education. She majored in psychology and graduated near the top of her class at Michigan State University, a commendable achievement that might not be rhymed about but deserves its own form of applause.

Spotlight On The Lesser Known

Despite being the muse of a rap god, Hailie Mathers has managed to remain almost enigmatic. With 2 million followers on Instagram, her social media profile serves as a curated collection of moments that reflect a life of subtlety, including posts about travel, love, and a meticulously crafted existence that diverges from the chaos that often surrounds her father. Whether sharing life hacks or the latest trip to an idyllic destination, Hailie maintains a digital footprint that is more about composure than chaos.

Quiet Philanthropy & Modest Investments

While her public ventures are understated, Hailie Mathers is no stranger to making strategic moves in the background. With an estimated net worth of $2 million, she’s not just stashing that cash in a vault. Investments in wellness and mental health initiatives indicate a young woman who understands the gravity of giving back and making meaningful contributions. Though details are scant, it’s clear that Hailie has more than a passing interest in using her financial resources for both personal growth and the betterment of others.

Recap

So, whether it’s navigating the complexities of being Eminem’s daughter or building her own sanctuary of peace and accomplishment, Hailie Mathers proves that fortune is not just what’s in one’s bank account but also the richness of one’s own journey. And speaking of fortune, Hailie’s thoughtful life choices and prudent investments have cumulatively contributed to a net worth of $2 million, an amount that speaks not just to her financial acumen, but to her character as well.

50 Cent’s “8 Mile” TV Series: What We Know

September 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One fact has proven true in these current times: nostalgia sells. When news broke of the development of a fan-favorite Hip Hop classic film, 8 Mile, as a TV series, excitement for what is to come has steadily built up. The award-winning, semi-autobiographical film depicted the life of the young veteran rapper Eminem and his journey within the gritty Detroit music scene. A huge success during its run, it is no wonder that a reboot is underway.

Part of the growing anticipation is owed to the names involved in this project. The acclaimed rapper, movie producer, and actor 50 Cent revealed his collaboration with Eminem on the adaptation. This iconic team up of two illustrious icons has, of course, strongly built up anticipation. Soon enough, 8 Mile is expected to bring to our screens a modernized remake of a unique come-up story.

8 Mile, The Movie

The 2002 film 8 Mile was a massive hit on the silver screen. Furthermore, the film was not only a success at the box office but also in the commercial music space. Grossing about $242.9 million dollars and receiving RIAA certifications, the movie was easily one of the best films of that year. The title emanated from the name of a roadway in Detroit called 8 Mile Road. Detailing the struggles and story of Jimmy “B-Rabbit” Smith Jr. (played by Eminem) and his rise to fame, the film became a major crowd-pleaser classic.

There’s not much more alluring than a typical but well-done underdog storyline based on true events. 8 Mile was exactly that and more, as it also featured phenomenal music and performances from Eminem. The hit song off the movie’s album, ”Lose Yourself” was well received in the music scene. The track earned Eminem his first No. 1 on the US Billboard 200. The single also went on to receive the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003.

Besides its many awards and achievements, the impact of 8 Mile was, by and large, a notable one for Hip Hop. The movie not only accentuated the Detroit rap scene but also served as a beacon of hope for aspiring artists. The thematic elements employed in the film greatly resonated with the audience two decades ago and can potentially repeat history in the newer generation with this adaptation.

What To Expect From 8 Mile

The Power producer unveiled plans concerning 8 Mile on Big Boy TV earlier this year. He stated, “I’m gonna bring his 8 Mile to television…It’s gonna be big, I ain’t got no duds, I’m battin’ a hundred.” Considering the success of the series and spin-offs he has produced, his guarantees stand to hold some weight. When asked on how far along in the process they were, he simply responded, “We in motion.”

However, during a sit down with Men’s Health in August 2023, 50 Cent shed more insight on what viewers can expect. He promised that the upcoming television series will be “just as big as the feature film, just huge.” Following his remarks, he offered more information about why the series will stand out. 50 Cent divulged that a modern retelling of the classic story will showcase how the music business operates today. “The interest in it is because the time period of 8 Mile was capturing per the bat…” he continued. “So as we move it into modern times you’ll see things about how we function now, how technology changed the way people enter the music business.”

Release Date

Details on directing, casting, and the release date have not yet been publicly announced. Also, it’s uncertain whether the original 8 Mile cast members will have anything to do with the project. Mekhi Phifer has, however, revealed he has no interest in returning for a sequel to the hit film. Furthermore, 50 Cent and Eminem have remained reticent on any specifics. Nonetheless, details will be forthcoming later on.

The collaboration on the reboot of a classic has most certainly attracted high hopes from fans and critics alike. Many questions have been raised regarding its possibilities and potential level of success. Can the two seasoned performers and rappers transcend the feats of the 2002 film? Can a modern approach be well-executed? And will the series live up to 50’s hype?

5 Hip-Hop Songs That Mentions The Memory of 9/11

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

September 11th (9/11) changed United States history forever. The memory of the many lives that were lost is cemented. From the World Trade Center employees to the first responders, the country pauses each year in its memory. Take a look at five tracks that memorialize September 11.

Jay-Z “Empire State of Mind”

Jay-Z’s strong connection to 9/11 remains forever. He released his classic album, The Blueprint, on the same day as the attack. 8 years later, he teamed up with Alicia Keys to give a legendary ode to their beloved home of New York City.

Long Live The World Trade

The memory of the World Trade continues to live on to Brooklyn’s finest.

Jay-Z 9/11 Freestyle

Live from DJ Clue’s Stadium series

Jadakiss “Why”

Jadakiss’ track took a more conscious approach than many of his previous records. In the Anthony Hamilton assisted song, the Yonkers natives question several issues or daily occurrences he has experienced firsthand or witnessed from afar.

One of those witnesses was September 11th. Kiss questioned,

Why did Bush knock down the Towers?

In 2001, former President George Bush was 9 months into his first presidential term.

50 Cent & Eminem “Patiently Waiting”

The track comes from 50’s legendary debut album that was certified 9x platinum. Both Fif and Em mention 9/11.

50 Cent’s 9/11 lyrics

I’m innocent in my head
Like a baby born dead
Destination heaven
Sit and politic with passengers from 9/11

Eminem 9/11 lyrics

Them cowards f**k with the wrong building
they mean to hit ours

Talib Kweli- “Around My Way”

The conscious Kweli delivers on this record with the help of EGOT winner John Legend. The country’s pride was at stake at the hands of 9/11.

It really gets me mad
The way we saluting the flags
Wrapping them around our heads
When ni**as ain’t become American
’till after 9/11

As Talib Kweli’s words echoed for many, the country banded together as one to keep spirits high in such a trying time.

Two decades, we continue to send our hearts and prayers to the family and friends of the 9/11 victims. Long live the World Trade Center.

The Jacksonville Shooter Wanted Eminem And Machine Gun Kelly Dead, His Disturbing Writings Reportedly Reveal

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Eminem Hailie Jade Mathers 2022 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction — Getty Image

On August 26 at a Dollar General store in Jacksonville, Florida, Ryan Christopher Palmeter, a young male in his 20s, shot and killed four people before turning the gun on himself. Sheriff T.K. Waters of Jacksonville noted, “This shooting was racially motivated, and he hated Black people.”

The Associated Press reported that Palmeter “texted his father [during the attack] and told him to break into his room and check his computer. There, the father found a suicide note, a will, and racist writings from his son.” Now it has been revealed that Palmeter wanted Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly to be killed.

In writings reviewed by Rolling Stone (presumably the ones from the AP report, but that’s not specified), Palmeter wrote, “Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady aka Ken Keniff, aka the white guy from D12): Stared the abyss (being n*****dly) and the abyss stared back (becoming a n*****). Walks the edge of n***** lover and honorary n*****. Fell off not because his new stuff sucked but because the lyrics were gay annoying liberal sh*t. ROE for Total N***** Death is to include Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers, aka Slim Shady aka Ken Keniff, aka the white guy from D12) as a valid target and he is to be killed on sight.”

He also indicated he believed he nearly had an opportunity to shoot MGK, writing, “Colson Baker (aka Machine Gun Kelly): Honorable n*****. To be killed on sight like Eminem because I didn’t get a shot at him up in Ohio.”
