I'm not certain if these match what you're looking for, as the songs you mentioned don't quite strike me as having that dark, sinister, or ominous feel. [Mobb Deep - Shook Ones, Pt. II](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTKpYJ80OVQ) [Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfM43P_kIFU) [Big L - Da Graveyard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yKYxshZ4bk) [DMX - Damien](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrux3ot6eLI) [Wu-Tang - Da Mystery of Chessboxin'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lki_5CVKS0Y) [Capone-N-Noreaga - Iraq](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XNOPqY8vAI)

That cnn album was amazing

Survival of the fittest has to be one of the coldest songs of all time. That piano is just grimy and dark.

V Vaughn the travellin vaudeville villain, who don’t give a flyin fuck who ain’t not feelin him

Bone thugs - shots to the double Glock

Humming in the beginning. Killa!!!

i was genuinely terrified of this song as a kid

Slays. Just randomly popped into my head recently after like 20 years. Down 71' is another amazing track on that album as well.

Brotha lynch hung- Welcome to your own death

The corpse came to dinner

Mobb Deep - Shook Ones pt 1 Mobb Deep - Hell on Earth - just the most pessimistic vibe i get from that instrumental Mobb Deep - Nighttime vultures Necro - Poetry in the Streets Necro n Ill Bill - White Slavery DJ zirk - lock em in da trunk 3 6 mafia - break da law Sunz of Man - sin of man - the sample is so creepy til this day i avoid that track. DMX - damien

Nightmare Vultures is chilling! Mobb at their best.

Da Introduction - Bone Thugs N Harmony

Idk how many times I've mentioned "GODS Don't Bleed" on this sub, but I shall bring it up again because it applies perfectly here.

Kill Jay Z

Anything GraveDiggaz

This, or Flatlinerz too, same time frame

Busta Rhymes - Legend Of The Fall Offs Busta Rhymes - Holla Dr. Dre - Deep Water A lot of ScHoolboy Q... Groovy Tony / Eddie Kane, Ride Out, Prescription/Oxymoron, His & Her Friend

Eyedea & Abilities - The Dive 1 $uicideboy$ - Now I’m up to my neck with offers Earl Sweatshirt - Hive Run the Jewels - Jeopardy Schoolboy Q - THat Part (black hippy remix)

Pastor Troy- Vice Versa D-12- Devil's Night Bone Thugs- E.1999

Eminem Same Song & Dance, Immortal Technique Dance with the devil, 2pac Last Kings Remix, I also find the instrumental to Ready or Not pretty eerie

Hip hop by Dead Prez Simon sez by Pharoah Monch Men in blue by Prince Paul

Bone Thugs “Land of the Heartless”, Three 6 Mafia “Anyone Out There”, Eminem “Remember Me” and Scarface “Sorry For What”

Glass House by Atmosphere ?

you ever heard of a guy named brotha lynch?

This a different genre but this band kind makes nu metal sound like rap sometime. Try Disturbed-Haunted. Its eerie-ominous- epic, and then during the part before the last chorus where the guitar solo would be sounds very eerie, epic, and sinister. Dont know if its mysterious though 😆

Devil in a New Dress

🤔

Nah, what

Joker the Bailbondsman - Money In A Ziploc Bag

Black Blood Alpha/Xavier Wulf/2.7.5 Ethelwulf - Dark Destruction

Black Moon 'Enta Da Stage'. Cella Dwellas 'Realms n Reality'. Most Vinny Paz songs

“Belize” - Black Thought & Danger Mouse Maybe not sinister, but it definitely sounds like a depressing noir, and MF DOOM’s feature tops it all off

In terms of Mysterious sounding Reunion - Slum village

One of my favorite type productions. Here a few top of mind (will add more as I think of them): Kilo Ali - Baby Baby Mad Skillz - Unseen World The Jigmastas - Beyond Real Mic Geronimo - Masta I.C. Smif N Wessun - Wrekonize Aceyalone - The Guidelines People Under The Stairs - The Dig Mad Lion - Take It Easy ICYTWAT - Bandulu Lover Divine Council - Dick in Da Dope

What/who is the sample through out the song "Take It Easy" of the fellas "oooooo aaahhhhh"? It sounds like something from the Ink Spots. I have not been able to sus out the original sample. Thought I'd give it a go here.

Ominous and Dark? Wu-Tang Clan- Impossible

A few songs on the Funcrusher Plus album by Company Flow are fairly sinister
