Quick bit for today. Haven't really talked about spooky hip-hop for a reason: outside of maybe a few songs off of one Necro album, there's very little 'horrorcore' that I like. To each their own, right?
Seems one zealous fan is accused to chopping four people up into pieces. It's CNN so the reporting is shoddy. Here's hoping it's not another case of West Memphis 3 bullshit, where they round up some kid, citing that he's involved in horror and spooky and wearing all black as the prime evidence. More details at the MTV.com piece.
Let's see how long this YouTube page stays up. Go for the crappy amateur beats, stay for the hilarious comments. In all cases, the accused is innocent until proven guilty.

Ugh. "This person did something violent and saw/listened to/read something violent at some point in the past, there must be a connection!" Intellectual laziness at its worst. If life really worked the way those moral panic dopes say it does, countless editors and ratings board members all over the world would be homicidal maniacs.
You just know that if that guy was really into classical music or professional sports, you wouldn't hear squat about the connection in the news. Well, unless some sort of pun title could be derived from it...
