Words By David D.
We’ve all got out darker sides.
At one point in your life, you’ve been at that breaking point where you wanted to just ride out and bloody up your significant other, boss or family member. Imagine for one moment you could. You’re in the car on your way to seek revenge. Now…what MC are you listening to?
Who is the best violent MC? Who can make songs that give the most vivid, creative or sometimes hilarious depictions of execution & mayhem?
Bottom line: Who makes the best murder music?
Is it Eminem and his brutalization of his beloved Kim (and any other female for that matter?)
DMX and his corpse-fucking, family-slaughtering mayhem?
Scarface’s chilling imagery?
What about Styles P. or Beanie Sigel?
Redman for those of us who would chainsaw someone with a big ass grin on your face?
Killer Mike? Did you not hear his “Dope Boys” freestyle?
Prodigy has basically made a career out of it…so has G-Unit.
Sound off…but don’t get carried away. TSS ain’t got bail money.


NaS – Theif’s Theme
The Infamous, Hell on Earth or Murda Muzik
Mobb Deep w/o a doubt.
dope idea for a post, first of all…as far as what i’d listen to: DMX or Em from off the list, but if i’m goin for extreme bloodshed and carnage, i’m listenin to some Bushwick Bill…dude’s got the sickest, most violent albums you’ve (n)ever heard…that or some death metal
Kool G Rap He helped invent it
Pick any one of his bangers On The Run Hit Mans Diary etc
M.O.P. ante Up Born to Kill etc
B.I.G. & Em on Dead Wrong Too
see, for me, mobb deep is if i’m goin to ride on somebody for murderin my homie…if i’m goin to do some violent, sick-type shit, mobb deep ain’t cuttin it
Mobb Deep – Q.U. Hectic
G Unit – Tony Yayo Explosion
Rock – Attempted Murder Freestyle
anything from The Diary by Scarface
how The Day Niggaz Took Over off The Chronic…..?? if that shit dont get you amped nothin will
The Infamous, Murda Muzik, or All We Got Iz Us
and DMX for, “Ni99az Done Started Somethin,” and, “X is Coming.”
“I’m only nineteen but my mind is old
and when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
another nigga deceased, another story gets told”
I put that song on^^^ anytime I need to psych myself out into murda mode (and i mean competition don’t get it twisted)…
Oh and, “Stranded On Death Row,” is some shit too…
from the hell of it :
ra the rugged man, necro, ill bill, …
underground but hard too.
My vote is for
Kool G Rap & Killer Mike
very likely some Jada or Tear Da Club Up Thugs
yeah i gotta say mobb deep – survival of the fittest, shook ones, drop a gem on ‘em, etc. it’s gotta be the dark sounding shit for me – pianos, etc.
scarface is good as well. same with big l.
M.O.P! Fiyaaaa!
Or, conversely, some early Three 6 (like Live By Yo Rep) if I’m in a cool and calm killing mode.
L
Em
G Rap
Big
LOX
NaS – “Suspect” It Was Written
Big Lurch.
Some old Spice-1, Face, Brotha Lynch, Bumpy Knuckles, Dr. Dre, Pac, and nobody does “grimey” better than the Infamous Mobb Deep.
Cypress Hill, DMX, Em, and G-Unit would get my honorable mentions.
Sean Price FTMFW!
put my vote down for anything M.O.P. related.
them cats’ songs get me hyped and make me wanna kick little kids.
Ice Cube – Here comes the predator
@ Tres…your big lurch reference is just….kinda appropriate…and scary…and uncomfortable…all at the same time.
^says the man who wants to kick little kids…lmao
i was slowly scrolling, hoping i’d be the one who got to drop “brotha lynch hung”‘s name (the things we take pride in in 2008)…but nope.
damn you, ajwondagreek
i’d nominate khia but she’s the wrong type of scary.
I’d go Sinatra for some Old School flavor.
And some Pac for the New.
Long-time reader first time (kinda) on the comments. Nice suggestions on the Em/DMX/etc. But I am surprised nobody mentioned CNN “War Report”. At least 2-3 ‘murder’ tracks on that shit:
Bloody Money
Halfway Thugs
Illegal Life
and my personal favorite T.O.N.Y.
“Can’t feel the shit that I do/I stand in front the judge about to lie/Plus I’m high too”
It might not be the best writing and rapping per se, but damn, T.O.N.Y. just makes me wanna blast a few at a cop every time I listen to that track (ducks to avoid an incoming 50 shots)
Also don’t sleep on Killa Cam’s S.D.E., lots of angry tracks on that one also
kurupts the streetz iz a mutha….and Daz R.A.W…a bunch of pastor troy songs and like 95% of M.O.P.s shit,,,G rap for sure,,mobb deep….Da lench mobs 1st one…born killa by scarface….yayos verse on bad newzs….homicide by Yayo, very violent….gangstarrs who got gunz( funny they did tonz of gunz earlier)..EFIL4ZAGGIN…etc etc etc aaahhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,, gonna bump devin the duuuuude.
I’d have East Flatbush Project – Tried by 12 on repeat. Whenever I use to listen to that shit I would get in that zone that if its me or you its most definitely gonna be you…no hesitation..lol
If I had to choose an MC it would probably be some old chopper city cash money BG.
I’m alil suprised no ones mentioned UGK or CNN yet.
Immortal Technique…
Nevermind someone finally mentioned CNN…
“fuck u plus your weak religion”
that whole track = time for some action
@ observing… nice one – i think some of yall is missing the point of this post…it ain’t what music is your saoundtrack to go ride on some ninjas…it’s what would u listen to when you’re goin to kill your girlfriend, boss, sibling, parent, etc…i think that’s two separate lists…or maybe i’m just a sicko…
Brotha Lynch Hung has some disturbing music.
If I recall correctly, something to the tune of eating baby guts. (eeeck!)
Natas. Never ever listened to anything by him or them.
Gravediggaz were very macabre.
RBL Posse.
My favorite angst-filled music composers would undoubtedly have to be
The Mash Out Posse, Styles P., Beans, FaceMob & Eminem if a beeyotch has pissed me off.
Puke was my anthem after a break up. I know many people fill that was his (marshall) worst album. A personal fave @ the time.
gravediggaz! good call.
dr. dre and ice cube: natural born killaz… fucking classic sick shit!
Pretty much anything by C-Murder. That aggin is a gangsta rapper’s gangsta rapper, and he already has the word “murder” in his name.
“it’s what would u listen to when you’re goin to kill your girlfriend, boss, sibling, parent, etc…”
^I just went with the “you’re in your car on your way to seek revenge” part…
If I went so crazy and was gonna kill a “girlfriend, boss, sibling, parent” then I wouldn’t even be listening to hip hop. I’d probably be sitting in my ride, staring at my gun listening to something like “Its A Wonderful World” and knowing I just lost my damn mind.
movado: amazing Grace
“amazing grace shots fly through face, have di k´s dem in case just in case..”
LOL @ Nina
“A Wonderful World”….
good effin’ call.
“Mah Na Ma Nah”, “Whistle While You Work” or some ish…
—————————
adding on to my MOBB entry from earlier in the post–>
G.O.D. Pt. III!!!
Whaaaa?!?!?
Scarface Theme Music + MOBB
= me telling Jules (Pulp Fiction) to go sit the fcuk down cuz I GOT THIS!
Hail Mary – Pac
gravediggaz and MOP…dunno how i 4got them…
vinnie paz makes some great murda music too.
I’m with OED.
Mobb fuckin’ Deep.
And I do have vivid memories of fuckin’ someone up with “Jesse James” playing in the background lol
Mobb Deep is def a good choice…
Bone Thugs “Mo Murda” off of E. 99 Eternal?? Rumor has it someone listened to that song and then murdered someone, so it kinda fits the description
Pun. Dream Shatterer or Twinz.
^ Hmmm….
Dr. Dre & Snoop Doggy Dogg – “Deep Cover”.
Classic Brotha Lynch Hung
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX5RVdTunpI
This is the song you play while loading your pistol to go postal on the block or at the office!
“Put the plastic in his mouth, the back of his neck left”
My bad Trackstar
Nas – Shootouts or Mobb Deep – Shook Ones Pt. II
that cut by brotha lynch hung “loc’d to the brain” is on some murderous shit. i’d have that cut on repeat if i was to murk somebody
crooked i….when he gets angry on the track…woo…gets a man going.
jaylib- strapped ft. guilty simpson or phat kat- cold steel ft. elzhi… im from harlem but for some odd reason niggas from the D make the awesomest “imma fuck u up music” hands down… please peep those tracks asap
Pac scared the shit out of me when I was a little kid. Shit sounded evil as hell. Hail Mary on loop sound like some shit to torture somebody to.
“movado: amazing Grace”
Great choice!!!
Mavado has so many to choose from.. Life of a G, Closed Casket, Guns Out, etc..but Amazing Grace lyrics and riddim sets the mood completely.
how has nobody mentioned vinnie paz from jedi mind tricks yet? I’d put on him or ra the ruggedman
“niggas from the D make the awesomest “imma fuck u up music” hands down… ”
i have to agree. mobb hands is hands down, X of course, ‘kiss, sigel … i could go on. but these days, guilty simpson makes me wanna choke my boss out as soon as i get my paycheck.
Styles P for sure, i got that shit on goin down to the supermarket…
M.O.P.
Mobb
Old Geto Boys
Who said Brotha Lynch Hung?
I’m Bout It Sdtk
“I hit that nigga fo’about fo’zonnnesssss…”
*bass drops*
woohoo! haha
MOP were the first ones I thought of.
@ gotty
man i forgot about that lynch cut. that was very sick indeed
Either Em and X on Go to Sleep, Nas on Undying Love, or maybe Cam’s What do I have to live for.There just so many its hard to choose.
Styles P without a doubt, he got the murda rap down flat. Cause unlike the other rappers who get listed, he’s the only one who delivers his hardcore consistently and doesn’t have to get emotional about, like its just second nature to shoot somebody’s head off.
I’m going to have to say DMX, lol.
“Shoote em in the head/ shoot em in the face and the chest/ then shoot em in the waist and the vest/ then shoot in the gut and mouth/ then shoot em in the back and don’t stop til the blood runnin out” – Styles P = hard shit
Diamonds and Mack 10′s – Shyne
Its music to suicide bomb to.
^^See Sherm you feel me (pause)
#1 For Sure Without a DOUBT
2Pac – Hail Mary
more recently tho
Rick Ross – Cry
“time for the murder train… all on board…”
or
50 – Whip Ya Head
“Whip Ya Head Boy” is a good one!
whip ya head….INDEED!
Fuck that shit, all yall muthafuckas crazy!
gotta go with some BTNH, creepin on a come up and east 1999, that would get me in the mood to do some raw shit
Going in, Frank Sinatra “My Way”. Fuck all that amped up bullshit. U need steady aim and steady hands. Soothe your soul, go in for a clean kill, and come out slick.
On the exit, it would have to be music I would not listen to on any other occasion that had a hard ass random beat: like Stereo from the Fort Minor Album. I’d probably just rock the instrumental too and ride out acting like I didnt just play Lego with someone’s appendages.
Whoever came up with this topic needs help.
scarface ft. z-ro- burn
btnh-mo murda
chamillionaire-gunsmoke(jus the beat)
n simon sez makes me wanna rip mutha fuccas apart limb by limb
“1…2… X is coming for you…”
ATF
Heat
etc.
DMX.
Hands down.
Forget “Hail Mary”, that’s way too commercial. Pac was fierce in:
2Pac – “When We Ride On Our Enemies”
Heard the Fugees was tryin to do me – look bitch!
I cut yo’ face, this ain’t no motherfuckin movie
You can’t tell me you didn’t believe every word he said! Now that’s ridin’ music. It has to make it to your veins.
And whoever Contra is has watched way too much Dexter, dude sounds like he’s really doing this. So Sinatra does trump, but only if you don’t want to go to jail the next day. If your going for straight energy to whip some ass, then it’s Pac all day.
Noreaga & Nas – Body in the Trunk
If a fool killed part of the crew it would def be “the die” lupe and gemstones suprised it aint on the list already
brotha lynch hung….case closed…noone else talks about eating baby guts and fried nigga nuts
M.O.P.
The Infamous album
Freddie Foxxx
Biggie’s ‘What’s Beef’ & ‘Somebody’s Gotta Die’
50′s ‘Many Men’
c’mon yo……
Eminem- Kim
case closed.
Mash Out Posse for sure
gangstarr “gotta get over” (rmx)
guru doesn’t get into violent imagery, but this cut has the precise mix of self-assured low-key calmness & criminal intent that would see you through
