HORRORCORE

Aiight, I’m here wid ma cuzz, Youforia, to teach ya’ll niggaz about horrorcore. 1st of all, lemme xplain what horrorcore actually is and what it is good for…

Horrorcore is basically a type of punchline that shows how brutal, horrific, and disgusting your skills are. It’s basically blood, gore, and horrific scenes depicted thru text… It’s main purpose it to make yourself look like some kind of evil beast that will gladly take part in ripping apart the insignificant flesh of anything that stands in front of you. It can help your verse seem more murderous, and make your opponent seem inferior, but if it’s not used in the right way it can take away from the effectiveness of your verse.

USING HORRORCORE IN YOUR VERSE

Youforia::

aiite, there’z a few thing u wana try an focus on when usin horrific concepts in ur verse.

1) FLOW – u gota make sure that the flow iz tight wit nice multis when usin dis type-a-concept in ur rhymez. horrorcore shyt iz triccy, an witout effective flow ur concept will lose it’z edge.
2) VISUALS/IMAGERY – does what u r spitting flash brutal pictures into the readerz thoughtz?? u have to read whut u r saying frum a different angle. don’t juss think about how u perceive it, but think about how otherz will too.
3) DON’T OVER DO IT! – horrorcore iz a great tool 2 use in ur verse but tha main thing to think of iz not to over-do it. think of horrorcore as seasoning added to the meal. it’s not actually tha main course. also, it’s a good idea to look at whut u write an make sure it iz whut u really wana say, AND if it is said in the right way.
4) AVIOID BEING VAGUE – don’t juss say u’re guna stab a guy wit a knife. xplain why u r stabbing him wit a knife, and what u’re guna do when that knife sticcz him, where ur guna sticc him, wit what kinda blade u’re guna sticc him wit, and/or what u’re guna do after u sticc him. every concept can be made more horrific depending on tha wordz u use.

USING HORRORCORE IN UR VERSE

Alias's THEORY::

WHEN WRITING

- Think unusual shit. Make sure your concepts are being grasped from completely out of the norm. Reach into the depths of insanity to formulate some evil act being committed while doing some obscene gesture, or some shit to make yourself seem like something horrific that your opponent will stand no chance against.

- Never think of your line as finished. There is not any line that you can ever make that will utterly be the best it can be. Any line can be made better no matter how good it is. There’s got to be 1 word you can change, remove, or do something to in order to make it flow better. Like Youf said, widout good flow this horrorcore shit is damn near useless…

- Write Backkwards. 1st think of what you are gonna END your line with. Then from there you base your multi scheme on ya last few words. Also, make sure what you say at the beginning explains (or builds up) to the final phrase.

Let’s take a thought…

Jus out of the air…

“I’ll Squeeze Ya Brain From Ya Eyes & Ears”

1st thing Ima do is establish the fact that EYES-&-EARS is obviously gonna be the multi scheme…

I pretty much wanna think of some shit to help me “build up” into that final phrase by making it seem even more disgusting than it already is.

Stickk to multis…

Die in fear, time is here, dyke's and queers, mind in gear, hide in here, etc, etc…

Obviously I’m thinking horror movie type shit, so DIE-IN-FEAR works perfectly… (lol, it won’t always be the 1st rhyme you think of)…

You may structure ya shit differently, but I usually stretch, just a lil bit (lol), and use da multi scheme 3 times on one line. It all depends on how you do yo’ thang. But, don’t go copying my style jus coz I’m showin you how I do my shit…

You will DIE-IN-FEAR; I’ll Squeeze Ya Brain from ya EYES-&-EARS

Take it further…

I want the flow to go all the way through, so…

Get’cha MIND-IN-GEAR or you will DIE-IN-FEAR, I’ll Squeeze Ya Brain from ya EYES-&-EARS

Now, I got an average line, that seems somewhat brutal, wid aiight flow…

We need more evil… Remember I said “formulate some evil act being committed WHILE doing some obscene gesture”?? Now we have to think of that obscene gesture… I’m thinking some Hannibal Lecter type shit… Maybe coz I’m hungry, I dunno. But, whatever we add HAS to help the flow or it isn’t worth adding.

You will learn about flow in the course wid All them other cats. But, from my experience wid multis, the 1st part of the line I would look at is “Squeeze Ya Brain”…

I would use that as an interchanging multi…

What multi fits wid Squeeze-Ya-Brain??? Me being hungry, the 1st thing I would think of is “Eat-Ya-Veins”… It’s still hella brutal, and gives us that xtra sickness needed for this line…

Let’s add it…

Get’cha MIND IN GEAR or you will DIE IN FEAR; I’ll fuckkin Eat Ya Veins and Squeeze Ya Brain from ya gotdamn EYES-&-EARS!!!!// (extra words added to smooth the flow out)

(The line is kinda simple and all, but this is for teaching purposes. Keepin it basic here…)

See, everything added actually HELPED the flow, while adding to the visuals and imagery of this line. When you read that you should get an image of some crazed lunatic (Me) eating a handful of veins, and squeezing the brains out of someone’s dome… It also makes the person that wrote this shit seem like he is some fuckkin insane serial killer dat jus escaped the looney bin…

WELCOME TO HORRORCORE…

Youf's THEORY::

i usually use multis and wordz in multis to help me out wit tha flow. i guess there’z gona be a flow course, so hopefully some1 that knowz about it will teach yawl more about elevating ur multis or w/e…… but i use tha wordz chozen to flow around to make the imagery that my linez r guna create.

first i juss think of sum horrorcore wordz……. sum crazee wordz to build a multi scheme around…….out of nowhere…… it can be anything 2 do wit horrorcore – i.e, weapons, body parts, brutal acts, etc………

CHAINZ-n-CLAWZ workz 4 me……… cuz i can build hellah shyt around that an still end it off wit sum disgusting shyt……… i’m now guna build my flow an multis around that in a way that it makes weird imagery hit ur brain…… now in the line i’m guna xplain whut ima do wit them CHAINZ n CLAWZ, in what type of way ima do it, but at tha same time makin sure i keep my flow on point……………

u’ll get –DEFACED-n-MAULED- wid –CHAINZ-n-CLAWS-

……… now take it further and maybe we can say where this iz guna happen wit wordz that match the rhyme…..

u’ll get DEFACED-n-MAULED WAIST n BRAIN SCRAPED wid CHAINZ-n-CLAWS

………see how much better that line juss became??……

depending on how u structure ur own verse depends on where u go from here, most people like 2 stretch their linez. i do 2, somewhat…… but… keep goin…… for teaching sake we aren’t guno stretch much, so we’ll make tha next line a lil bit more grusome………

we need to keep going w/ tha torture…… but still stay wit good flow in tha same multi set…… but the next part is where it elevatez. we now have 2 think of sumthin even more psychotic than tha line b4…… remember it’z all about tha wordz u choose 2 use, finding sicc enuff wordz that fit the flow will make tha line better………

i’ll grind u up and fucc’n succ up tha REMAINZ-IN-STRAWZ-

looking at that, how could we make the flow better???

i’ll grind u into PASTE and fucc’n succ up tha REMAINZ-IN-STRAWZ-! (bcuz PASTE matches REMAINZ which iz part of tha multi)

keep goin…

i’ll smash u into PASTE and fucc’n succ up tha REMAINZ-IN-STRAWZ!! <<<
with that line measured against the one b4 i can automatically see that there’z enuff room for anutha multi set in there so ima jus add any ol shit……

u’ll get DEFACED-n-MAULED WAIST n BRAIN SCRAPED wid CHAINZ-n-CLAWS
i’ll BREAK YA JAW, grind u into PASTE and fucc’n succ up tha REMAINZ-IN-STRAWZ-!!

……also, to make it flow even more better it wud be gud to git rid of the “i’ll”

here’s my finished line……

u’ll get DEFACED-n-MAULED WAIST n BRAIN SCRAPED wid CHAINZ-n-CLAWS
BREAK YA JAW, smash u into PASTE and fucc’n succ up tha REMAINZ-IN-STRAWZ!!

that’z pretty much tha best way i can break tha shyt down for u so run wit it…………

HOMEWORK

Aiight, here’s what we want you to do…

- Think of 18 horrorcore based words. Come up wid the most gruesome shit you can think of. Make a list of 18 words that all have to do wid horrorcore… Try to be as original as possible. Like Youf said, it’s all about the words you choose to use…

- We want you to post up 8 horrorcore PHRASES. This is not a complete line. This would be like the main shit that you would build up into what u would base yer multi scheme around. For instance Youf said, “u’ll get DEFACED-n-MAULED wid CHAINZ-n-CLAWS” at da beginning of his thought, and my 1st phrase was “I’ll Squeeze Ya Brain From Ya Eyes & Ears”. Writing these ideas down is good for brain storming.

- Finally, put yerself in the shoes of a serial killer. Write 8 lines of complete madness. Make sure you use what you’ve learned when doin this… U can tell a story, or jus talk about some random evil shit. Whatever you wanna do…

You will all be graded depending on how well you do…

[Will T]

Yes I know....Was bored and we decided to have a class session to help newbie's out, Why you hating for?

[run]

[Sever]

Leave the tutorials to Cage, and Necro.

[WiseWun]

Ehhh...FORCED multies isnt the way to go..


but props anyways

[eL²]

we dont need all of rf running around thinking their horrorcore thank you very much.. its bad enough we got kaus thinking hes hardcore..

[Contract]

Horrorcore is trash. It's supposed to be a genre, and everyone who's produced rap and considered themselves "horrorcore" has been garbage (I can only think of internet writers off the top of my head. ICP?). One of the more annoying aspects of a good emcee like Cage's writing is a tendency to write some lyrics that might fit under the "horrocore" heading. When I think Horrocore, I think "no personality". I think bad beats, bad rhymes, bad voice changers, bad writing and bad times.

[Plot]

U kids are just learning how to write raps is all.

I mutter these ryhmes, stutter these lines...
Coz every time you flutter your eyes, my tummy fills up with butterflies.
HORROR!

[run]

necro has great beats.



and horrible rapping.
