“Take drugs without conscience. My pupils (students) dilate (die late) like columbine killers with slow watches” That line killed me.

[@GrandDukeMushroom]

@@im_GeeOh Same lol, they're pretty insane :p

[@tyrrantx6760]

krisiCSGO I mean, obviously Rhyme Asylum meant two different things when he said that. It’s called a double entendre.

[@el3ou968]

ILLEST BAR OF ALL TIME

[@levmccor54]

krisiCSGO The pupils dilate is referring to the taking drugs and pupils die late is referring to the columbine killers with slow watches. The columbine killers with slow watches bar wouldn’t have really made sense without the double entendre would it?

[@HipHopAus]

Possessed's second verse is nuts The way he rides the beat with the "If my name is/put in a verse/your frame is/put in a hearse/and laid six/foot in the dirt..." is absolutely insane, and the delivery on "You are wack, mediocre at best, NEXT" is also ill as fuck.

[@CraigWhargoul]

[@Klever800]

Possessed's flow on that 'If my name is/ Put in a verse Your frame is/ Put in a hearse And laid six/ Foot in the dirt" is pure sickness! RA all day. Much love from Ireland

[@mzamethodman7134]

Canibus is one of these guys inspirations, you hear em say it in one of their tracks "what's happened to em? Whats happened to 'Bis?" I reccomend Canibus' track called Master Thesis, dude could genuinely teach at universities, hands down one of THE most intelligent people i've ever heard

[@thegorgan3501]

I've been looking for rap groups that are like them and the only one that can rap close enough to them but without the in-depth lyrics but with 90s style horrorcore rap/hip-hop is the Aussie Group, also disbanded, Lyrical Commission. Check out Blood Red Skies

[@evankiefl]

Anyone catch the little dig on Nas at 0:52? You can actually here an excerpt from Nas's song "One Mic" playing in synchrony with Rhyme Asylums rap right after Rhyme Asylum says, "fuck mics". Nas's lyric, "All I need is one life", is superimposed on Rhyme Asylum's, "All I need is one knife". Pretty ill
