Recommend me some cryptic, murky religion/mythology inspired rap a la Killah Priest or Divine Styler.

"God's Rolex"

"Contradictions"

"Frogs"

Jeru the Damaga

I'M GETTIN SLEEPY
I NEED SOME COFFEE

Killah Priest, ftw

Death come to those who oppose
Knockin' at the door, holding a rose in plain clothes
Winter face ice cold, lock your windows
Still I come in when the wind blows, come in slow
Suddenly your eyes close
Then your body set free your soul, it rose
Turn into a black crow and fly into the internal night
That's when I also take flight
I turn into a great falcon
With mighty wings, when they flap they move mountains
I leap on your back like a wild fucking monkey
Eyes are blood shot red with a growling tummy
Beat your fucking back out, like a gorilla
When I was twelve, I figured my way out of the house of mirrors
I show up to a recording session with no facial expression
I'm just dead like I crept in
Escape through the east gate, return through the west ends
When the sun set, I'm like the westerns beneath the moon light
And the crescent, Priest, I have a stance, that's strong
When I perform, I transform into a sandstorm
Leaving one third of the land torn
I'm like mice, I react strange
I'm like a terror train, I react crazy when the weather change
Then the father of a hurricane
Here come pain, I whip tornadoes with iron chains
I make volcanoes scream out my name
Niggas kill me, tryin' to escape my wrath through death
Don't you know I'm crazy motherfucker, I'll hold my breath

bump for more

watching max join in on dom's latest thread revival gag is kind of like when a serial killer takes an apprentice

bitch im the one reviving the threads

regardless you have to admit it's a pretty dom-ish idea

jeffrey dom-mer

who are u clarice starling?

I would have guessed this to be a Matt H. thread.

So, any more recommendations?

This doesn't fully fit the description, but I'd definitely want to hear more stuff that's like it both lyrically and sonically (besides Jedi Mind Tricks):

Also, are there any American (or other) rappers who'd do shit like this:

If there is stuff with beats by Stoupe but NOT with Vinny Paz on it I rly would love to know. I love that guy's sound. Only thing I know of is that Canibus album.

Yeah, me too. Would love to hear if there's something else.

finally a run the jewels for me. everlast and his old graffiti buddy divine!

Omg @ Heavy Mental, this is amazing

yeah that's one of those albums that got completely lost in everything. i loved it and i remember playing the "one step" 12" a LOT lot. if you've never heard view from masada you're in for a treat. the beats aren't as good but as an mc, he's even better.

That and the one from a couple of years ago are def on the list
