Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hmm. 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

(00:23):
the other side and felt the presence of something beyond
this world. From to Hip Hop Horror Stories, I'm your host, Belly.

(01:06):
The hardships of everyday life can make it easy to
forget how simple it was when we were kids, our
innocence phase. As we age, no longer the pure souls
we once were as kids, the window into the other
side was still wide open. But as we age and
life takes hold, we lose the memories that might have

(01:26):
made us question the matrix we now live in. This
week on Hip Hop Horror Stories, we have Ty Dollas
sharing a story he's never shared before today. Was he
just a kid with a wild imagination or did he
get a glimpse into the supernatural world? You'll be the judge.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Hey, what's up? Y'all's Todd Dollars sign and this is
my hip hop horror story. I never told this story before.
I ain't been really scared for a long as time,
but like last time I could remember, I was a kid,
and shit, I would say, like around like ten twelve,
we was at my grond mother's house and me and
my cousin, my brother, me and my cousins. Back in

(02:06):
the day, we used to turn all the lights off
and go in the room and go in front and
there and say, candy man a game.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Good times.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
And me and my brother for sure always played tricks
on each other. We were always specting each other, Me
and my brother and my sister pranks, even my cousins too,
just fucking immature as hell. We went to the back
room and shit, we all seen what goes. We're just

(02:43):
sitting there and looking up at us, just to suit
and just in space and his spike will his red
hair and going his glasses, the whole vibe, and we
all ran. When we were running back, one of us
fell busted our lips and shood. My mom and my
aunt was hot as fuck because they were like, you

(03:04):
guys are playing too much. You guys are running through
the house. You know not to run through the house.
Now when you got hurt, did you trip one? Because
we always played games, so they thought we tripped the
other one on purpose because that was another thing we
would do, just set up traps. But it was really
all because we saw this ghost and we told them
this story and they didn't believe us. And at that

(03:26):
time it was like one of you fuck up and
all you get your ass whooped. So we all got
our ass whooped. The ghost was like Malcolm X. We
thought it was like really him, and he was just
sitting there, glowing on the chair in front of the bed.
We all saw it. This was before fucking projectors. It

(03:47):
wasn't on TV. It wasn't no you know, none of
that shit, no hologram. It was really a parodonmal experience.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
If you talk to any.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
One of them, they'll verified this shit, like they'll tell
their own story of it, but I guarantee you it's gonna
say the same shit. We were scared to go back
to that fucking room for a long ass time, and
we probably went back there. Nothing never happened again. It's
like that was the guest room. That was what they
wanted to sleep. I don't think we slept in there
that night, but we might have went home at night.

(04:22):
But then every time we went back over there. Matter
of fact, we could try it always not to go
over there. And then when we finally did go back
over there, I didn't want to sleep in that room,
But I never saw it again.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
Every day we wake up from our dreams and come
back to the reality of our everyday lives, it's easy
to forget that a world might exist beyond this one.
Could it be the tie? Was it an age where
responsibilities and the distractions of the grid were yet to
interfere with his otherworldly insight. Was it the fact that

(04:56):
he idolized and loved Malcolm X so much that the
emotion itself manifested into something t I could see and hear?
Or was it the imagination of a couple young innocent
kids running wild and blurring the line between reality and dreams.
You be the judge. Many of the stories told on

(05:17):
Hip Hop Horror Stories come from childhood memories our guests
share with us, young enough to blur the line between
imagination and the real world, or in tune enough to
see something into another world entirely. This week on Hip
Hop Horror Stories, we have Simba telling us a lighthearted
and hilarious tale from his childhood. Was it intuition on

(05:39):
his part or was he the victim of an elaborate
scare prank. You be the judge.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Everybody is your boys, Simba and this is my hip
hop horror story.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
So I remember this one time as a kid.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Grew up in Berkeley. Berkeley's a city away over from Oakland.
I think I was about like like.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
Five or six years old.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
I used to go to an elementary school called Oxford Elementary,
and I went to a community center after school where
most kids used to go to while their parents go
to work.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
It's called San Pablo Park. Look it up.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
We had like a little school event or whatever a
San Pablo Park where everybody dressed up.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
So I had my costume on.

Speaker 4 (06:30):
I was very proud of this costume, and I wore
this costume as if it was a badge of honor.
But they started off for me feeling good that I
was a Red Ranger. School was lit. We ain't have
to do no work. We watched Halloween movies, went to
fucking recess.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
It was lit.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
It felt like the best Halloween ever. All I was
worried about was being a Red Ranger that day. That
was it, you understand me, because the Red Ranger was
one that kicked all the asks. I went trick or
treating the first time with the kids at the community center,
and then my mom picked me up to go trick

(07:08):
or treating after the event with my auntie and my
two older cousins, and then it just all went bad.
It wasn't extremely cold, but it was. It wasn't hella
hot at the same time.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
But it was. It was cool.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
So, you know, we hitting all these houses across the
street from this community center, and we get to this
one house and it's like all the lights is out,
like a sign that says candy over here. So it's
like a little obstacle course that leads you to the
door to ring the doorbell. So we walk down the path.
Imagine you walk up to a house with eight steps. Boom,

(07:48):
got a screen door and then a door behind that,
and I ring the doorbell and it's like old white
lady comes out. She come to the door and she
looked off friendly and shit, and I'm like, where the
candy at. She's like, nice to meet you. I can't
remember the name she said. She was like I miss somebody,

(08:11):
and happy Halloween. We enjoy you guys coming go downstairs,
and your treats are all downstairs.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
I'm like, oh, shit is lit.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
My favorite candy was Snickers, so I'm thinking, oh, she
got hell of Snickers. I'm about to get all her shit.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
So I jumped.

Speaker 4 (08:29):
I'd like literally run off the porch, run to the
side of the building and it. Boy, I still don't
go on the side of the house because of this shit.
It's like a door that leads you to the side
of the house to get the candy. As I opened
the door, it's like this big ass dude. He had
a black scream mask and he's like no, And this

(08:53):
shit just scares the fuck out of me.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
And I run out and I'm so fucking scared.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
Shit it all on myself and pissed all on myself
and I ruined my badge of honor. I ran so
far down the street my mom and then had to
get in the car and come find me.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I was in the fucking park somewhere crying madd as
shit because I fucked up my costume. Man, So my
mom was like, it's a battor by yourself. Oh, she
just tripping. I'm like, yo, yo, I'm scared me.

Speaker 4 (09:25):
I'm fucking traumatized as a kid. Bro, I didn't know
what the fuck was doing on I was just so mad.
My auntie and my mama was asking me questions just
to laugh at me. But at the time I thought
they was asking me questions because they cared.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
They actually didn't care at all.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
That I'm thinking about this shit, because they was asking
me yellow questions like so, why did you run?

Speaker 3 (09:52):
I'm like, what the fuck you mean? Why did I run?

Speaker 4 (09:54):
I was scared of shit, like I didn't expect that
to happen, and they just asking me shit and they laughed.
My older cousins over there laughing at me, calling me
shitty boy. It was a bad night, bro, bad night,
great day, but a bad night. Man. So this is
my mom. Just in case all y'all think this is

(10:15):
some bullshit. Go ahead, Mam Llueen was.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
Over at that point.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Was shitty as a goat. We had to go home
and take a bathroom.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
I mean, shit was everywhere.

Speaker 4 (10:31):
That was the worst shit ever, because all I wanted
to be was the red Range and I fucked my
whole costume up. And I was mad at my mom
for two weeks because I felt like she's seen it coming,
and to this day we laugh about it. But when
it happened, the shit was not funny, no pun intended.

(10:56):
Every time it's dark and I see it shide of
a house, it haunts me.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
It brings me nothing but trauma. When it's dark.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
Outside and I see the side of a house, I
don't even like going to certain females houses I'll be
fucking with they got a side of a house like
they if they ain't got like an apartment that I
could pull in the garage in and they come give me,
I'm not coming in they door like it's bad.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
It's easy to dismiss simbols story as a simple scare
priant going wrong.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
But was it?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Could it have been something more twisted, more evil? Did
he narrowly escape a much darker outcome by running? And
well everything else he went through, We'll leave it up
to you to decide. Throughout history, there have been rooms

(11:52):
that whisper secrets, rooms that hold the unspeakable behind their
locked doors. These chambers exist not just in the dusty
corners of ancient castles or long forgotten mansions. Sometimes they
exist in the homes of those we think we know
and this next story, Ian d Or takes us back

(12:15):
to the innocuous, seeming suburban home of his close friend,
where one room remains completely off limits for good reason.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, what's up. It's Ian Yor and this is my
hip hop or story.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
So I was living in Corpus Christie, Texas, which is like,
you know, small town south of Texas, so all the
way at the bottom by the Gulf. I think it
might have been twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen around there.
I had, you know, a pretty solid friend group in
high school that I would hang out with all the time.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
You know, my friend had a really nice house. That's
what we'd always go to his house.

Speaker 6 (12:56):
My hoomi's name was Mark, and we would go over
to his house all the time, you know, play two
K whatever, go play basketball. And these were like my
close friends. And you know, all the times that I
went to his house, I never went in this one
room that they would always say, you.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Know, like it's his sister's room, like, don't go in there,
doesn't But I never knew that there was more to it.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
And basically, one night we're all, you know, hanging out
of his house and we're all just gonna stay the
night there, and you know whatever, and all of our
friends are kind of like, You're like, let's go in
the room. Let's go in the room and see like
what's in there. And you know, I'm obviously like fuck it,
like let's do it. If you're in the living room,

(13:47):
you look to the right, there's just one door. It's
a it's a it's a room by itself, and then
you go down the hallway and there's a couple more rooms,
so that that door by itself was her room. And
we go in this room and suddenly, like the temperature
changes when we walk in, and it's as soon as
I walk in there, we get hit by like this

(14:08):
like cold wave like of just I don't know, it
was something about it was so eerie and every like
we kept the lights off in the room.

Speaker 5 (14:18):
So it just looked creepy as hell in this room.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
Bro, Like she doesn't live there anymore, so you know,
like stuff is just sitting there, there's dust on the
on the tables, you know, and we're all kind of
just standing in the middle of the room like between
the bed and the TV frame. And then there was
like a little like vanity setup the vanity setup is
what freaked me out the most for some reason, because
it just it almost felt like somebody was sitting there

(14:43):
and we're all just making jokes like, oh, there's a
ghosts and ghosts and ghosts. So everybody runs out, and
one of my homide close to the door on me
as I'm running out.

Speaker 5 (14:52):
So now I'm stuck in this room.

Speaker 6 (14:54):
So as I'm locked in there, I'm looking around and
I'm freaking out because I'm like, why, Like something about
this room, something about the air in this room doesn't
feel right. And I keep telling them open the door,
open the door, open the door, and then I hear
them stop laughing because I'm pulling on the door and
it's not opening and they're not holding it anymore. I
definitely felt like I wasn't alone in there. I felt

(15:16):
like like I don't oh, I'm.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
Getting scooped out just talking about it, like I've chilled
right now.

Speaker 6 (15:21):
Like I I felt like I wasn't alone in there,
and that it wasn't like something that wanted me in there.
And I'm like, bro, like this isn't funny. Open the
fucking door, and they're like, we're not holding onto the door,
just fucking open it, like you're freaking us out.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
I'm like, bro, I'm yanking on the door, damn. Near
almost pulled the handle off, and then it fucking opens.

Speaker 6 (15:43):
So then eventually I pull this door and it gets
and I open it, and I'm like what the hell,
Like I'm like pissed off at them, And they weren't laughing.
They were like noah, like we'd like go the door,
like did it da dah. And that's when my friend
Mark starts crying. And so when he was crying, it
took him a second. He was sitting on the couch
and he was just crying. He was like not really
telling us what was going on. We're like, bro, tell

(16:04):
us like, and I'm I'm spooped the fuck out on it.
And I tell him like, bro, there's a fucking ghost
in your house. Like, there's a fucking ghost in your house.
There's something in here, bro. Like I was like, i
was really scared in there, and I don't know why
because I'm not like scared of the dark. Like my
friends locked me in the room, all right, fine, like
fuck you guys, but I'm like get out eventually, Like
I was genuinely scared in there, and he tells us

(16:28):
that since his sister was like, you know, a younger age,
she had a spirit attached to her that would not
leave her alone, that anywhere she went, it would go.
Whatever the hell this thing was came from their house,
but for some reason, only attached itself to her. I
had been there so many times, never heard this story.

(16:49):
And he shows us this photograph. Because we didn't believe him.
We obviously thought he was playing into it. He shows
us a photograph of his sister. It was a picture
of her in her room and she just smiling the
photo and she's standing by her bed, and this thing
is like so just picture her smiling, normal photo, like
happy girl, and behind her it almost looks like he's

(17:11):
like hanging off of her shoulder. Like say, like if
I walked up behind you, up with my hands on
your shoulders and then I look over, he was like
posing like.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
That, and it did look like male. It didn't look
like female. You know, it wasn't hard to tell the difference.
It was fully like a male.

Speaker 6 (17:29):
And I don't know, it just looked so creepy, like
his eyes were like white, but his like smile, like
it looked like he almost had teeth brow like it
was I don't know. So he hands me the photo
and all my friends gathered around me, and we as
soon as we look at this photo and we realize
what we're looking at, we all run straight out the door.

(17:51):
We ran straight out the door, like across the street,
like in front of his neighbor's house. And that's like
we did not want to go back in. And he
told her the whole story, and he told us how
it follows her around. And he tells us that anytime
she would have a new boyfriend, this thing, whatever you

(18:13):
want to call it, would scare the boyfriend away.

Speaker 5 (18:17):
So like, for instance, like he told us like this
one story that.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
In her apartment because she you know, she got older,
she lives alone now and she would live with her boyfriend.
But one day when her and her boyfriend were in
the house, I guess he was in the kitchen and
she was in her room, and all the cabinets started moving,
apparently like according to him, and pretty much, you know,
the boyfriend ran off, and it kind of like kept

(18:43):
her in the house like in her room, locked in
her room, long enough for him to leave or something.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
After that, I because I didn't believe in ghosts. I didn't.
I thought that stuff was like all made up and
you know, you kind of it's like one of those
things you have to see it to believe it.

Speaker 6 (18:56):
And when this happened, it was like a big thing
for me and my friends. We were you know, kind
of like changed us a little bit. We were like,
what the fuck? This shit is real and it can
fully like take over your body if it wanted to.
It was a physical feeling. It almost felt like he
like walk past me or something. And this is before

(19:18):
I even knew the story behind the room. So I'm
just thinking like, oh, I'm just tripping. I'm just tripping.
I'm scared, Like I just need to get out of here.
That definitely was the day that I started to believe
in that, you know, paranormal activity stuff, and it definitely
spooked me out.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
For a couple of years.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
That's pretty much my story, and it's crazy, and you know,
you could believe it if you want to, but that's
what happened.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Ian Door stared into the malevolent eyes of a demon
and has never been quite the same. He can't explain
what he saw or even how it was possible. He
just knows what he felt, what he saw, and what
he was told. If there's a lesson to be learned
from Tonight's tale, it's that some mysteries are better left unsolved,

(20:12):
some doors better left unopened. Curiosity, as they say, can
be a double edged sword. I'm your host, Belly, and
this was another episode of Hip Hop Horror Stories.
