Its a strong album with a unique twist, just be sure you can handle it. Rating: 3.5 Highlights: Locc 2 Da Brain, Liquor Sicc, Deep Down, Season of Da Sicc Published.Of course this tragedy can easily be attributed to the gunmans own mental instability, but theres still no denying the dark power of Lynch Hungs music.Lynch raps hard and fast like Spice 1 possessed by the devil, his delivery cold as a mortician.He delves ruthlessly into areas that even forefathers of horrorcore the Geto Boys would find deranged and degrading.
Our narrator treats us to Z-grade depictions of cannibalism, baby killing and sexual perversion (Ive dreamt of eatin bloody pussy clit since I was 6), listen close enough and you can almost hear the blood splatter. But away from the shock (or schlock) value, the real life horror in Lynchs lyrics can be just as chilling. With various Sacramento Crip affiliations to his name and associations with incarcerated murderer X-Raided, Lynchs threats of gangland revenge, portraits of the thug life and intense paranoia on tracks like Liquor Sicc are startlingly convincing. Woozy basslines, dramatic synths and mysterious sound effects create a foreboding, almost cinematic ambience. Its not your usual spin on the radio friendly, party rockin West Coast style of choice, but the kind of stuff youd come up with when the purple kush has gone bad. Most of those early horrorcore albums are just too damn frigging boring, especially in the beats section but that has also happened in the case of rapping also. Check Natas, Three 6 Mafia, Ganksta Nip or Nine and you know what I mean. Brotha Lynch Hung Season Of Da Siccness Album How To Get PastSo how to get past that problem Either take your concept completely over the top ( 6 Feet Deep ) or be a great rapper which is the case in Season of da Siccness. Luckily that happened on Brotha Lynch Hungs debut album, this album is mostly hailed as a horrorcore classic and rightfully so. It doesnt overstay its welcome and Hung is actually one of the better rappers in the West. His lyrics so over the top but he doesnt make his rapping sound like a parody, it sounds funny but sounds like he is serious, you know Like he actually did eat those babies and shit. Well Im pretty sure that stuff didnt happen really but it works really good on Season of da Siccness anyway. Brotha Lynch Hungs legend starts here with a great album and cult classic, definitely one of the more unique horrorcore albums out there and anything but redundant. Published. Brotha Lynch Hung is for all intents and purposes your average gangsta rapper. Hes got the gangsta flow, the gangsta subjects, the gangsta rep, and since its 1995 hes got the G Funk sound. The difference is he spends about half the album peppering the lyrics with things like baby cannibalism. Whoops Now, while you pick your monocle back up off the ground Id like you to consider how traditionally horrorcore felt like its own world, a neighbor maybe to gangsta but nonetheless separate. Even the Geto Boys made sure to basically keep their horrorcore moments pretty distinct from their more normal stuff. With Brotha Lynch Hung the only tone that changes is the lyrics, and even the non-horrorcore is pretty damn bleak and dark. The production of all things reminds me of the other end of the gangsta spectrum, Bone Thugs n Harmony. Its a strong album with a unique twist, just be sure you can handle it.
