Halloween and hip-hop don’t always mix. But the rare occasion when they do always leads to a cataclysmic clash of epic beautiful proportions. Much of hip-hop is fiction anyway, so fabricated stories about ghosts and goblins shouldn’t be that hard to begin with.
One of my all time favorites has always been Geto Boys’ “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” No, that’s not my H-Town bias speaking; that’s my knack for robbing kids of candy bias in action. Creepiest song I ever heard? “Dance with the Devil” by Immortal Technique. Seriously, how mentally fucked up do you have to be to go through with that song concept?
