Clipping - Visions Of Bodies Being Burned

In the horror genre, sequels are perfunctory. As the insufferable film bro Randy explains in Scream 2, "There Existed an Addiction to Blood" is a horrorcore-inspired album by the Los Angeles experimental rap mainstays Clipping. This October, rapper Daveed Diggs, and producers Jonathan Snipes and William Hutson return with an even higher body count, more elaborate kills, and monsters that just won’t stay dead in their latest album "Visions of Bodies Being Burned".

Visions of Bodies Being Burned is less a sequel than it is the second half of a planned diptych. Clipping took to the thematic material of horrorcore like vampires to grave soil, incorporating influences from Ernest Dickerson, Clive Barker, and Shirley Jackson as well as Three 6 Mafia, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Brotha Lynch Hung. Clipping's angular, shattered interpretations of existing musical styles are always deferential, driven by fandom for the object of study rather than disdain for it.

They reimagine horrorcore—the purposely absurdist hip-hop subgenre that flourished in the 1990s—in a similar way to how Jordan Peele does horror cinema: by twisting beloved tropes to make explicit their own radical politics of monstrosity, fear, and the uncanny. The album features a host of collaborators including Inglewood’s Cam and China, fellow noise-rap pioneers Ho99o9, Tortoise guitar genius Jeff Parker, and experimental LA drummer Ted Byrnes.
