album review

6 Feet Deep is a sick joke. A lethally great and a ghoulishly comical one, but a deranged and sadistic prank nonetheless. Eschatological, gruesome, paranoid, and obsessed with death (both imposing and experiencing it), the debut from eeeeevil supergroup Gravediggaz lands somewhere in the nexus at which the bizarro universe of legendary producer Prince Paul -- who oversees the whole project while wearing the mask and wielding the shovel of the Undertaker for the occasion -- crashes headlong into RZA's dingy, farcical New York City, a haunted, inverse Oz where graffiti meets science fiction meets splatter flick in an unholy alliance that finds Freddy Krueger fiendishly pursuing the turf gangs out of Walter Hill's The Warriors down 125th and Elm Streets. Throw in a few crazed variations on Medieval torture techniques, a few too many midnight kung-fu screenings, and a few fantasies of bodily damage so giddily, demonically cartoonish that they would make Wile E. Coyote lick his lips with mischievous envy, and you have this brilliantly strange, whimsically jagged horror film in song (critics unofficially dubbed the style horrorcore) with its maimed and gnawed tongue firmly planted in cheek. If you can stomach the buckets of lyrical blood spilled herein, there is no end to the gory highlights, from the running-in-place nightmare of "Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide" to the psychotically nauseous angel-dust high of "Defective Trip (Trippin')" to the willfully objectionable "1-800 Suicide" and self-destructive "Bang Your Head," all of them terribly catchy. As a bonus, 6 Feet Deep is sure to offend the sensibilities of all middle-aged family-values crusaders and conservative-type politicians -- vampires of a different sort -- who aren't in on the joke. Overseas, the album was titled Niggamortis. With its combined allusion to mortality and example of wicked wordplay, it would have been even more apropos. Whatever it goes by, though, the album can be resurrected again and again without losing any of its devilishly good potency. ~ Stanton Swihart, All Music Guide

- - An Absolute Must-Have
  - - By Tim Konold

  - 6 Feet Deep is a disturbing, drug-fueled romp through a hip-hop graveyard led by some of hip-hop's greats. Simply put, 6 Feet Deep is an absolute must-have for any hip-hop head.
    The supergroup, consisting of Poetry (the Grym Reaper), Frukwan (the Gatekeeper), RZA (the aptly named Rzarector), and Prince Paul (the Undertaker), hit it off in a major way with their debt album. Not only is 6 Feet Deep one of the earliest examples of horrorcore, it's one of the best examples.
    6 Feet Deep is a conscious hip-hop album disguised as a hardcore hip-hop album. The Gravediggaz mission statement: "People fear what they don't understand. That's why we're here; to explain there's nothing to be afraid of."
    Despite their stated intentions, one can easily see that the Gravediggaz is an outlet of angry emotions for its members. With no holds barred, RZA and Poetic, already masters of rhyming, unleash some of their most ferocious lyrics. Because of the absolute excellence of both the rhymes and the production, one must almost judge them seperately, while marveling at how well they compliment each other.
    As far as the rhymes, the albums highlights are "Constant Elevation," "2 Cups of Blood" and "1-800-Suicide." Prince Paul, the producer, reigns supreme on "Defective Trip, "1-800-Suicide" and "Diary of a Madman."
    Poetic, likely the most lyrically-gifted of the crew, was unfortunately able to stay with the group for only their first two albums before his death. RZA left soon after.
    6 Feet Deep's disturbing lyrics and abrasive beats aimed to "resurrect the mentally dead from their state of unawareness and ignorance." In doing so, they made hip-hop history.
