Speaker 1 (00:04):
There's a place beyond this place, a middle ground between
the light and the darkness, the natire and the zenith.
For some, it's a bridge between the living and the dead.
Yet for others, it's something else. Entirely, it's the place
where our nightmares dwell. Each one of us has touched
(00:24):
the other side and felt the presence of something beyond
this world. Welcome to Hip Hop Horror Stories. I'm your host, Belly,
(01:06):
and each week we're going to take you to the
limits of your imagination as we explore the reality of
paranormal experiences. I believe in this shit for real, and
the stories you're about to hear might make you believe too.
Before I introduced our first guest, I want to share
a personal story of mine, the hip hop horror story
(01:29):
of my own.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So let's go back.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
This was probably nineteen ninety three, nineteen ninety two, Ottawa, Canada.
I was probably in Canada at that point for only
a few years. You know, there was just a lot
of rules in my household. It was a lot of
(01:55):
things that we couldn't do. One of those things was
to not go in my parents' room. First of all,
shout out to my parents. You know, incredible people, great inspirations,
but they just had something about going inside their room.
(02:15):
So one day, usually the door was locked, one day
the door was open. It was a hot summer day.
I noticed the door kind of cracked open. I walked in.
There was a disposable camera sitting on a night stand. So,
(02:36):
of course, being a little kid, I picked up the camera.
I wound it up, and you know, when you're a kid,
you think the world revolves around you. So the only
thing I could think of doing was taking a picture
of myself in the mirror. So I took that picture,
(03:01):
put the camera down, snuck out of the room before
my mom caught me, and then, you know, went about
my day, probably like wrestling with my brothers, getting beat
up by my older brother, you know, having like low
key racist comments said by like my neighbors. They didn't
(03:22):
even know they were being racist, Like accidental racism, what's
going on? And probably like a week later, my mom
got the footage, I mean the my mom got the
film developed, and she came home, she was going through
the pictures and then she literally just went off on me.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
So I told you.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Why would you grab my camera? Why the hell would
you go in my room. When the hell did I
leave it unlocked? So it just made her even more
mad that she wasn't on her p's and q's like that,
and she threw the picture at me. So it was
the picture of me in the mirror. She threw it
at me, completely heated. So I grabbed a picture. I
(04:08):
look at it. Of course, being a little kid, I'm
smiling and laughing, being like, ay, this is math funny.
I'm gonna hang this shit up. So I look at
the picture and it's me. Obviously, the flash is blocking
out my face. In the background, there's a window. This
was a split level house, so that window would have
(04:31):
been probably about ten to twelve feet high right from
the ground. Then I looked closer and noticed there was
a hooded figure standing in the window, peeking in both eyes,
showing just red eyes, a hooded figure. And I remember
(04:54):
just every hair on my body. At that time, I
was too young to have hair on my body. If
I had hair on my body, it would have all
stood up, definitely had goosebumps. I showed it to my
brothers we all started tripping out. So that night at dinner,
I pulled it out and I showed it to my
mom and I was like, look, this is the picture
(05:16):
that I took. Tell me what that is in the background.
And my mom took it and said everything she could
to basically disprove what I showed her, and then she
ripped the picture in half, and through the picture. Throughout
my life, every single time I have a nightmare, that
(05:37):
figure is there. And the worst part about this is
one of my friends. I'm not gonna say no names
protect identities. One of my friends, probably like twenty years ago,
had a nervous breakdown and came to my house. So
(05:59):
he was drunk, he was high, you know, everything under
the sun. You know, he was in tears. I calmed
him down, you know, we spoke. I tried to use
comedy to lighten the mood a little bit, and you know,
just just just just someone that was near and dear
to me. I wanted. I wanted to see him happy again,
(06:19):
you know. And finally, when everything was calm, he started
crying out the blue. He was like, there's something that
follows I'm like, when you're talking to me, he said, tonight,
the whole night, when you walk around your condo, there's
(06:40):
a hooded figure following you.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
There's something following him.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That's when I realized, you don't see it. That's just
been with me my whole life, and the only time
I captured it was in that picture. This week we
have French Montana and he's here to tell us his
hip hop horror story. A couple of years ago, French
went back to Morocco and he thinks he brought back
(07:07):
more than just food poisoning.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It was about November twenty nineteen. It was a regular
old day. I'm about I just waking up, exhausted from
all the trips I had. Went to Saudi Arabia, then
I went to Egypt. Then after Egypt, I went to
Morocco and i'mba it was my birthday. So I was
doing a lot of drinking in Morocco and I guess
I probably went and I ate at the wrong people house.
(07:37):
I think I had that mentality over there and I
was like you know, and I was just talking shit.
I was like, yo, give me whatever I want, Like
you know, I was moving around Morocco reckless, and I
think somebody was like, okay. I think somebody definitely had
a little sprinkle in the you know when I when
I ate at them people house. Its just shit just
got crazy. Like I started seeing shit that wasn't there,
(08:00):
like I had Like when I was sleep, Zack had
this little dog and I woke up like four am
and like the fucking dog is just like on top
of me, barking that shit all around me, and there's
nobody there, right, So I thought I was tripping. So
that passed. I flew back. The day started when I
(08:21):
came back from Morocco. I remember the weather that day
being you know, regular la temperature, you know, was the
valley regular at like eighty right now, mind you, my
mother is still in Africa. Everybody's still there. Jack is
still there. So I get home. I just start seeing
people in my backyard. There's nobody there though, well I'm
(08:45):
not on mushrooms, I'm not on nothing, you know what
I'm saying. So I just start seeing people back there.
It's almost like people came and camped in the back
of my house. I'm just I'm like, I'm telling niggas
like that, you see that, Like there's nobody back there,
but I can see shit. So I just started tripping
the fuck out. I remember after that, I went to
(09:06):
the mos and I called the fuck here. And I
was like, yo, come, I need you. I don't know
what they gave me to eat. I gotta get this
shit out of me. So he came. He played the
Koran and this and that, and I'm just sitting there,
you know, and he's like and he's like, yo, I
don't know if you possessed this and that. Like he
just start scaring the shit out of me. Right then,
(09:29):
my mother just walks in. I could hear her voice,
like she's inside the house right so, I know, I
just hear her voice for a little bit. I hear
her voice. I'm like, yo, my mother down there. I
thought she was in Africa. So he's like, nah, like
you know, she's like, she's not here, nobody downstairs. I
can hear shit. I go to the studio. I walk
(09:53):
in there, so I'm playing cams, some music, my mad cams,
and I just see somebody sitting the studio with us
with mad guns. I'm like, yo, what the fuck is Avenue?
Then after that, and then after that, I went outside
the crab and I went across the street. I looked
back and my mother is like outside the gates, telling
(10:13):
me by wherever I'm going. I was like, nah, I'm bucking,
I'm tripping. Everywhere I looked, I saw something. I seen
the figure that had one eye. I seen two figures
that were ying high behind a tree. I seen these
two ladies that were spinning around and whispering to each other.
(10:37):
I seen like a black bird, like the same one
that's in Vikings, a raven flying around the room. At first,
I can see them, and as time went by, when
when whatever it is kicked in fully kicked in, they
could touch me. And that's when I was bought. And
that's when I bumped out. Like when I went inside
my room, something just grabbed me. I was like, oh shit,
(10:59):
this is real. I go see what's wrong with it?
Didn't kill me. And all the spirits that came from
it was there wasn't like evil spirits in the beginning.
It was, but as as a trickle down, it was like, okay,
I was safe. I was just like, wow, I can't
believe this happened to me. I was backtracking actually just
(11:21):
to see where did I eat at the house that
I've been to, and I just started calling people, cursing
them out. Yeah, if y'all didn't do this, didn't find
out who did it. It was just like my imagination
and whatever it is just like came back. It's like
it became reality basically kind of vibe. I think I
(11:42):
was tapped in and like I think I was tapped
into a different world for a little bit. Even if
everything came from my imagination or everything was would then
I think that it would still be real because even
imagination is made by you know, by the high power.
You know, they wouldn't you know, imagine nation if it
wasn't already made. So I honestly just think that, you know,
(12:03):
there's nothing wrong with experiencing things like that in your life,
you know, so you can see that there is different
places that you know you can go, whether is in
your mind, whether it is in your reality, what is
in your world? I asked one person before I asked
the fuck. He was like, you were just between life
and probably deaf in different world. You were seeing the
things that people see on the other side. I'm a praying,
(12:25):
spiritual person one million percent. If I didn't believe in
it's supernatural, I believed in it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
After my incident, we divert from hunted houses and mystical
beings to enter a setting. It seems on the surface ordinary.
A hotel room on the road with a college basketball team.
NBA star JaVale McGee tells us a story so crazy
(12:53):
it makes one question the very fabric of reality. Imagine
this a night filled with card game, the spirit of
youthful invincibility filling the air. But as the clock takes
towards midnight, Javel makes a seemingly innocent mistake. He leaves
his hotel room door wide open, but follows next Defire's explanation.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
My name is JaVale McGee, akap are three times and
this is my hip hop horror story. So if you
don't know who I am, I play basketball and I
went to the University of Nevada Areno. The story begins
us on a road trip. We had a road trip
to a little city. I would say it might have
(13:40):
been like Sacramento or something, but like one of those cities.
And I went to a mid major so I went
to the University of Nevaderno, So we weren't going to
like major cities. But we went to Sacramento, which is
a major city, but we went to I think we
were in Sacramento. We were landing to play someone I
forgot who we were playing. We had to get to
the hotel. So we got to the hotel. You gotta
(14:00):
think it's fifteen sixteen, just twenty year old eighteen year
old boys. So the first thing we decided to do
figure out what we're all gonna do together. What we
decided is we're gonna play like this game called high Die.
The way the game is played is in the name.
Whoever has the highest die wins, So I roller one,
you roller five, you win the money. So that was
(14:23):
the game we were playing, and we would go once
we checked in the hotel, we find out where everybody's
room is, and all of our teammates cause we were
bunked up to a room, We'll find out where everybody's
room is, and we would go in their room and
play high Die. And I was actually winning. I probably
made it like fifty sixty dollars cause we're playing for dollars,
(14:44):
so I was sixty x my money for sure. I'm
going to room to room, just gambling, gambling, gambling, and
I'm winning. Feeling good. The way that we were able
to go in people's rooms where we put a deadlock,
we put the deadlock, you know in hotels when they
can flip the little dead in the door so that
the door doesn't close all the way if you're going
(15:04):
to get ice or something. We got the dead like
on the door. Everybody. I'm sure everybody else were smart
enough to take the deadlock off and go to sleep.
But I'm kind of forgetful when it comes to certain things.
So I'm in there with my teammate, Reminded Sessions. Ormind
Sessions is two years older than me too, so I'm
(15:24):
the freshman, he's the vet. But I leave the door.
I definitely leave the debt like it was my fault
the debt like with me, he wasn't. In the gabuleus
it was my fault. The deadlight was the reason I
mentioned the deadlock is so we go to sleep with
the dead. Like on I go to sleep whatever regular night,
my teammate remind and he's screaming out and I can
(15:45):
hear him. He's like, get up, and I'm just like,
I'm thinking it's a dream or something's going I don't
know what's going on. So I wake up and I look.
I look at him first, and then I look in
front of us, and there's nothing there. So I'm like,
he's person talking to Then I hear the door hit
the dead boat. If anybody knows, that's kind of like
(16:06):
a pet peeve of mind too, is when you put
that dead boat in there, if you don't catch the door,
it makes a loud like a giant clunk against the wall.
And look sometimes it damages the door too, So it
made that noise. It made a giant clunk. So from
my perspective, it's just get out. And then I look up.
No one's there, but I hear the deadlock, so I'm like, Okay,
(16:28):
it can't be lying. I just heard the deadlock. So
somebody definitely was in here. I just didn't visually see them.
So I asked him, like, what do you mean somebody
was in here? Who was in here? What happened? He said,
when you woke up, he felt something looking at him
when he was sleep, which is the only reason why
he woke up. So when he woke up, he said
he saw a guy, the older white guy but white hair,
(16:52):
in a trench coat, standing in front of our beds,
like in the middle and just standing there staring at us.
And when he woke up, that's when that's what I
guess I heard was him telling him you gotta go. Hey, hey, hey,
get up, get out, get up, And then I heard
the door close, so I technically didn't even see it.
I just literally experienced it sort of but didn't actually
(17:17):
get to see the guy. They never found the guy
and none of that. But it was just a real
creepy situation that I literally never forget and I literally
never even seen the guy. So I have a memory
of a person that I've never actually seen, but it's
really just the guy in the trench cover who was
in front of our bed in college. The crazy part
(17:38):
is he was sure it was a real person. He
wasn't like, no, it's not no, the dude didn't float away,
he was. He said it was a real dude, like
just standing there in front of our bed. If I
wouldn't have heard, to tell the truth, if I wouldn't
have heard the deadlock, I wouldn't have believed him. I
would have been like, Bro, you're dreaming or you having
a nightmare or something. But the deadlight is what really
(17:58):
like me over the top to Okay, there's no reason
to him alive about that, So I'm I'm I'm dead
sleep It's I'm probably in rim. If y'all know what
rim is, then you go ahead and look that up.
But I'm sleep sleep, I'm feeling amazing, and all I
hear I'm just abruptly awakened and by my teammgers yelling,
you know, hey, hey, get out of here, Hey hey,
(18:22):
just look up. And when I wake up, I'm not
really a coherent person that wakes up. I'm kind of
foggy a little bit, so I'm just confused at what's
going on. And him explaining that to me really just
it messed up my head a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Despite the extensive investigations, the mysterious figure who appeared that
night remains as elusive as a shadow on the wall,
unseen in surveillance footage, unknown to witnesses, yet clear in
the memory of those who felt his threatening presence. So
what are we to make of this insane tell? Was
(18:58):
this a visitor, a man of festation, or a trick
played by exhausted minds. Some questions are not made to
be answered, and others should just be left alone. Sometimes
we carry things with us that we don't understand. In
(19:19):
my case, it was some kind of demon. To this day,
I don't know who he is or what he wanted,
only that he was always there. I wasn't the only
one that could see him. I know somebody close friend
of mine that was in crisis saw him all those
years later, and it really makes me wonder what this
(19:42):
thing was or what it really wanted, and I'll probably
never find out. The point is, we're never alone, even
when we think we are. French seem to have the
whole village with him, and his fakir advised him that
perhaps these people were a bridge between the living and
the dead. Were they warning him of something that was coming,
(20:05):
or was it just a peak into a world beyond
our own? I guess we'll never know. Thank you for listening.
I'm your host, Belly. Join us next week for more
hip hop horror stories.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
The Battle, the Boys, the Club,
There's a place beyond this place, a middle ground between

Didn't kill me. And all the spirits that came from
it was there wasn't like evil spirits in the beginning.
It was, but as as a trickle down, it was like, okay,
I was safe. I was just like, wow, I can't
believe this happened to me. I was backtracking actually just
(11:21):
to see where did I eat at the house that
I've been to, and I just started calling people, cursing
them out. Yeah, if y'all didn't do this, didn't find
out who did it. It was just like my imagination
and whatever it is just like came back. It's like
it became reality basically kind of vibe. I think I
(11:42):
was tapped in and like I think I was tapped
into a different world for a little bit. Even if
everything came from my imagination or everything was would then
I think that it would still be real because even
imagination is made by you know, by the high power.
You know, they wouldn't you know, imagine nation if it
wasn't already made. So I honestly just think that, you know,
(12:03):
there's nothing wrong with experiencing things like that in your life,
you know, so you can see that there is different
places that you know you can go, whether is in
your mind, whether it is in your reality, what is
in your world? I asked one person before I asked
the fuck. He was like, you were just between life
and probably deaf in different world. You were seeing the
things that people see on the other side. I'm a praying,
(12:25):
spiritual person one million percent. If I didn't believe in
it's supernatural, I believed in it.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
After my incident, we divert from hunted houses and mystical
beings to enter a setting. It seems on the surface ordinary.
A hotel room on the road with a college basketball team.
NBA star JaVale McGee tells us a story so crazy
(12:53):
it makes one question the very fabric of reality. Imagine
this a night filled with card game, the spirit of
youthful invincibility filling the air. But as the clock takes
towards midnight, Javel makes a seemingly innocent mistake. He leaves
his hotel room door wide open, but follows next Defire's explanation.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
My name is JaVale McGee, akap are three times and
this is my hip hop horror story. So if you
don't know who I am, I play basketball and I
went to the University of Nevada Areno. The story begins
us on a road trip. We had a road trip
to a little city. I would say it might have
(13:40):
been like Sacramento or something, but like one of those cities.
And I went to a mid major so I went
to the University of Nevaderno, So we weren't going to
like major cities. But we went to Sacramento, which is
a major city, but we went to I think we
were in Sacramento. We were landing to play someone I
forgot who we were playing. We had to get to
the hotel. So we got to the hotel. You gotta
(14:00):
think it's fifteen sixteen, just twenty year old eighteen year
old boys. So the first thing we decided to do
figure out what we're all gonna do together. What we
decided is we're gonna play like this game called high Die.
The way the game is played is in the name.
Whoever has the highest die wins, So I roller one,
you roller five, you win the money. So that was
(14:23):
the game we were playing, and we would go once
we checked in the hotel, we find out where everybody's
room is, and all of our teammates cause we were
bunked up to a room, We'll find out where everybody's
room is, and we would go in their room and
play high Die. And I was actually winning. I probably
made it like fifty sixty dollars cause we're playing for dollars,
(14:44):
so I was sixty x my money for sure. I'm
going to room to room, just gambling, gambling, gambling, and
I'm winning. Feeling good. The way that we were able
to go in people's rooms where we put a deadlock,
we put the deadlock, you know in hotels when they
can flip the little dead in the door so that
the door doesn't close all the way if you're going
(15:04):
to get ice or something. We got the dead like
on the door. Everybody. I'm sure everybody else were smart
enough to take the deadlock off and go to sleep.
But I'm kind of forgetful when it comes to certain things.
So I'm in there with my teammate, Reminded Sessions. Ormind
Sessions is two years older than me too, so I'm
(15:24):
the freshman, he's the vet. But I leave the door.
I definitely leave the debt like it was my fault
the debt like with me, he wasn't. In the gabuleus
it was my fault. The deadlight was the reason I
mentioned the deadlock is so we go to sleep with
the dead. Like on I go to sleep whatever regular night,
my teammate remind and he's screaming out and I can
(15:45):
hear him. He's like, get up, and I'm just like,
I'm thinking it's a dream or something's going I don't
know what's going on. So I wake up and I look.
I look at him first, and then I look in
front of us, and there's nothing there. So I'm like,
he's person talking to Then I hear the door hit
the dead boat. If anybody knows, that's kind of like
(16:06):
a pet peeve of mind too, is when you put
that dead boat in there, if you don't catch the door,
it makes a loud like a giant clunk against the wall.
And look sometimes it damages the door too, So it
made that noise. It made a giant clunk. So from
my perspective, it's just get out. And then I look up.
No one's there, but I hear the deadlock, so I'm like, Okay,
(16:28):
it can't be lying. I just heard the deadlock. So
somebody definitely was in here. I just didn't visually see them.
So I asked him, like, what do you mean somebody
was in here? Who was in here? What happened? He said,
when you woke up, he felt something looking at him
when he was sleep, which is the only reason why
he woke up. So when he woke up, he said
he saw a guy, the older white guy but white hair,
(16:52):
in a trench coat, standing in front of our beds,
like in the middle and just standing there staring at us.
And when he woke up, that's when that's what I
guess I heard was him telling him you gotta go. Hey, hey, hey,
get up, get out, get up, And then I heard
the door close, so I technically didn't even see it.
I just literally experienced it sort of but didn't actually
(17:17):
get to see the guy. They never found the guy
and none of that. But it was just a real
creepy situation that I literally never forget and I literally
never even seen the guy. So I have a memory
of a person that I've never actually seen, but it's
really just the guy in the trench cover who was
in front of our bed in college. The crazy part
(17:38):
is he was sure it was a real person. He
wasn't like, no, it's not no, the dude didn't float away,
he was. He said it was a real dude, like
just standing there in front of our bed. If I
wouldn't have heard, to tell the truth, if I wouldn't
have heard the deadlock, I wouldn't have believed him. I
would have been like, Bro, you're dreaming or you having
a nightmare or something. But the deadlight is what really
(17:58):
like me over the top to Okay, there's no reason
to him alive about that, So I'm I'm I'm dead
sleep It's I'm probably in rim. If y'all know what
rim is, then you go ahead and look that up.
But I'm sleep sleep, I'm feeling amazing, and all I
hear I'm just abruptly awakened and by my teammgers yelling,
you know, hey, hey, get out of here, Hey hey,
(18:22):
just look up. And when I wake up, I'm not
really a coherent person that wakes up. I'm kind of
foggy a little bit, so I'm just confused at what's
going on. And him explaining that to me really just
it messed up my head a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Despite the extensive investigations, the mysterious figure who appeared that
night remains as elusive as a shadow on the wall,
unseen in surveillance footage, unknown to witnesses, yet clear in
the memory of those who felt his threatening presence. So
what are we to make of this insane tell? Was
(18:58):
this a visitor, a man of festation, or a trick
played by exhausted minds. Some questions are not made to
be answered, and others should just be left alone. Sometimes
we carry things with us that we don't understand. In
(19:19):
my case, it was some kind of demon. To this day,
I don't know who he is or what he wanted,
only that he was always there. I wasn't the only
one that could see him. I know somebody close friend
of mine that was in crisis saw him all those
years later, and it really makes me wonder what this
(19:42):
thing was or what it really wanted, and I'll probably
never find out. The point is, we're never alone, even
when we think we are. French seem to have the
whole village with him, and his fakir advised him that
perhaps these people were a bridge between the living and
the dead. Were they warning him of something that was coming,
(20:05):
or was it just a peak into a world beyond
our own? I guess we'll never know. Thank you for listening.
