Wicked & witty!

6 Feet Deep is the debut album from American hip-hop quartet Gravediggaz. It was recorded throughout 1991-94; it was released in August of 1994.

The group, which consisted of Prince Paul, Frukwan, Poetic & RZA, relied on horror-themed imagery & combined it together with dark humour & satire-fuelled lyricism in a bid for them to vent their frustrations with the hip-hop record industry.

This album helped to branch horrorcore to a wider audience, having been ... read more

Goddamn… this is VERY horrorcore. This album feels like traveling into the mind of psychotic serial killers. It does that context much justice for sure. I’ve heard quite a bit of horrorcore, and this album is already one of my favorites. This album is pretty ... read more

For my 666th rating, I've chosen a spooky record, a hip-hop classic, and an album I've been meaning to check out for a while now. Gravediggaz basically pioneered horrorcore on this project, which is a crazy achievement on it's own, but that's not the only thing that makes this so great. The beats are devious, as if you took 36 Chambers and cranked it to the 9th level of hell, only getting darker and more disturbed as the album goes on. The group may be kickstarting an entire sub-genre, but that ... read more

G-TO-THE-A-TO-THE-ZIG-ZAG-Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, first of all, I LOVE these guys's delivery on the mic, especially Poetic and RZA's, they're so unhinged, so insane, you can tell they're SO into it, it's amazing. the beats are also top notch, some of them are kinda boundary-pushing for the time ... read more

Favorite: constant elevation

Least favorite: 6 feet deep

Love this, this is the Quintessential horrorcore album. There might be horrorcore albums I like more (mmlp) but if I had to explain the genre of horrorcore with one album, it’d be this. It’s disturbing but doesn’t take it too far like brotha lynch level where it just feels like it’s being edgy for no reason, more like 4 mentally insane people talking about the wildest song concepts they could think of.
Also we ... read more
