1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Hmm.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: There's a place beyond this place, a middle ground between

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: the light and the darkness, the native and the zenith.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: For some, it's a bridge between the living and the dead.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 2: Yet for others, it's something else entirely, it's the place

6
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: where our nightmares dwell. Each one of us has touched

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: the other side and felt the presence of something beyond

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: this world.

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: Faces in the.

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 4: House, I don't recognize looking in emeracy.

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: The devil's eyes mixing too much.

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I get crazy.

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: Now, I'm bagalone on my Patrick Swayzey ghost gave it

14
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: everything and only took up. Oh, I guess the pair

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: side is looking for ho bit so demned mind it

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: does you so then and sign it you I never met.

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 2: On today's episode of Hip Hop Horror Stories, DJ Ski

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: joins us for a tale of terror in his personal

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: studio that may have been haunted by the spirit of

20
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: legendary producer and convicted murderer Phil Spector.

21
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 5: All right, so around twenty I think it had to

22
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 5: be like twenty ten. There's a studio that I was

23
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 5: driving by for years on my way back home in Hollywood.

24
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 5: It was right in Kwanga. If you live in La

25
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 5: you've probably seen it because it has a big nipsey

26
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 5: hustle murra we put in front of it, and for

27
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 5: years and years wanted to get this face. It's too expensive,

28
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 5: right like, still coming up in the game, and couldn't

29
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 5: do it. And finally, you know, made enough doing enough

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: that could justify it. We ran out of room in

31
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: the spot that we had in Robertson in West la

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 5: and made the made the jump and was going to

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 5: go in and partner somebody else. He was gonna put

34
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: up half of it. The day before we move in.

35
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 5: Like everything's not aligning right, Like dealing with realtors ends up.

36
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 5: The building was in forclosure and some other group took

37
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: it over, like the craziest, most messy drama. But unfortunately,

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 5: sometimes when you want something, you go a little too

39
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: hard for it, right. Yeah, the first time I moved in,

40
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 5: even walked into that studio, right like, it was gated up.

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: There was like literally wood like fence gates right like.

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,399
Speaker 5: It looked like a place the place had been abandoned

43
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 5: and hadn't nobody'd been there for years. There'd been there,

44
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 5: a couple of people that were there, but they weren't

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 5: using the studio. They were using the upstairs portion of it,

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 5: maybe storing things in there. So I remember walking up.

47
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 5: I mean it was an old place. It was run down.

48
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 5: It looked like nobody had been in there, and there

49
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 5: was something that kept people out of there for years.

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 5: It was vacant for so long, and there was just

51
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: like I told you, getting in the real estate, there

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 5: was weird owners and like you know, it was repossessed

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 5: and like leans on it and like just this weird

54
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 5: shit that couldn't be done and it needed a lot

55
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 5: of work. So I think everybody else got too scared.

56
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 5: I was just the one that was like, no, I

57
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 5: want this. It's close. I like the building's awesome, Like

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 5: we're gonna take it, and you know, push through all that,

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 5: maybe against my better judgment. That being said, like every

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 5: sign is pointing to me to not take this place right,

61
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: like the universe so far has been like everything feels weird.

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 5: We walk through it. It's old, it needs a lot

63
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 5: of work. It's not gonna be easy. It's not a

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 5: turnkey move in. And when I get there, I'm finally

65
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 5: sign the lease for it, move in, and it ends

66
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: up being finding out some of the history. Phil Spector's

67
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 5: old studio. Phil Spector, one of the greatest music producers

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: of all time, owned the sixties, but then afterwards his

69
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 5: life got a little crazy. Notably, we look it up,

70
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: dude went to jail from her. It went crazy, so

71
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 5: lots of craziness around him and in the building. When

72
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 5: we started moving into, we saw like weird things, like

73
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 5: the walls were reinforced with not just soundproofing, but like

74
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 5: ten feet of soundproofing. Like it was ridiculous the amount

75
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 5: of things that were there. But nonetheless we made it

76
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 5: and moved in and it was a success. Started moving

77
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: in and getting stuff in and making it work right,

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 5: and it was enjoying it getting to the place. But

79
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 5: there's always like weird things that would happen right Like

80
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 5: you go in there at night and Friday night, I

81
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,679
Speaker 5: remember coming in and you know, all of a sudden

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 5: the lights cut out and form a second then you

83
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 5: walk out and I saw a light coming from downstairs

84
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 5: from one of the rooms. You walk down there and

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 5: all of a sudden it shuts off, And there's like

86
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 5: weird little moments. You feel this kind of energy and

87
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: sometimes that would just happen in the place and think

88
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: nothing of it, but you knew that it was there,

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: especially in retrospect. So once we pull we got in there,

90
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 5: I mean, we had everybody in the world coming by there.

91
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 5: I think Belly you were probably there. Nipsey was recording

92
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: all his stuff out of there at the time we

93
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: were managing him. We were having like NBA superstars, Kevin

94
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 5: d Ram pulling up with James Harden, you know, when

95
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 5: they were all on the Thunder and you know, recording

96
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 5: all these records and doing cool things. But there'd always

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 5: be weird things that would happen, especially in Studio A,

98
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 5: the main vocal booth, which was kind of like weird.

99
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 5: To get into, you'd have to walk into the main studio,

100
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 5: you'd have to walk through the sides. It was like

101
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 5: a small awning. And the one thing that I always

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 5: remembered though, is that the lights would always cut out

103
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: in there, and no matter what we did, we'd bring

104
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 5: in electricians and things like, there always be something weird

105
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 5: with that light. Something that goes back to when I

106
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 5: first moved in there, right like I said, Hey, you'd

107
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 5: see lights from this room that cut out. It's almost

108
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 5: like something was happening that was that was weird.

109
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: There.

110
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 5: Then I remember one morning getting a call like, yo,

111
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: you're not gonna believe you know what happened last night.

112
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 5: I saw it because I was already asleep and somebody,

113
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 5: you know, we had our engineers in there all night

114
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: mixing record and doing some stuff and they're like, I'll

115
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: tell you when when they're tomorrow and come in the

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: office and they start telling me the story and like, YO,

117
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 5: last night, weird this shit happened, like the lights cut out.

118
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 5: We went in the room and everything was moved around

119
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 5: from where it was so like the microphone was on

120
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 5: the other side, like we had I think we had

121
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 5: a keyboarding there on one side, and it was like

122
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: moved around, like stuff was placed in different ways. And

123
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 5: they were freaked out. Like one of the kids didn't

124
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 5: come back, like you literally quit and was like you

125
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 5: know what. He was an intern and he was like

126
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 5: you know what, like he just got too scared from

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 5: those things. And I'm like, whatever, they're probably you know,

128
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 5: late at night. You never know, somebody could have come

129
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 5: in and did those things. And all of a sudden

130
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 5: like that started happening more and more often, like right

131
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 5: every time we'd go into the studio, there'd be something

132
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 5: weird that would happen. Usually in the vocal booth. We

133
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 5: had this giant vocal booth on the other side, and

134
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 5: there'd always be issues, but it would always boil down

135
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 5: to something with the light and then things would be

136
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 5: in there. And I remember even like Knit being in

137
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 5: there recording and being like freaked out one night over

138
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: something that was there. He's like, dude, the light cut

139
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 5: out and I felt like it got really cold all

140
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 5: of a sudden, and we're like, this is weird. So

141
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 5: after like a time, you start putting two and two together,

142
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 5: like this is this is more than just a coincidence.

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 5: This is something that really seems to be happening. And

144
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 5: man like, as time went on, like things didn't get better,

145
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 5: Like that room there was some energy in it and

146
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 5: something would just always go wrong with it. And then

147
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 5: one of the weirdest things ever happened. I remember after

148
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 5: our session after night were recording with all that, we

149
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 5: came back and the files were gone. The pro tool

150
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 5: session was was fully gone, but there was old files

151
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: that we hadn't recorded in that studio, that I'd recorded

152
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: in my old studio that would have never been on

153
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: that drive, and we didn't even use that computer because

154
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 5: it was a new computer that were sitting on the

155
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: desktop that we pulled up. So I'm like, what the

156
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: hell is going on? I thought somebody was messing with

157
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 5: me at this point, and like this room just got

158
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 5: weirder and weirder and weirder. So one day we pulled

159
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 5: it apart and we started noticing, you know how there

160
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: were all these like hidden compartments, and we actually found

161
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 5: this like little hidden kind of room that was adjacent.

162
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 5: There was always this dead area in the studio that

163
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: we never really know what it was. It was like

164
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: a weird kind of closet space. Then there was like

165
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: the vocal booth, but there was nothing between that, so

166
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: we wondered what that was, and we ended up like

167
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: kind of pulling apart and realizing that through all these

168
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 5: layerings there were these these doors there. And when we

169
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 5: got in there they found like I remember, there's like

170
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: a piece of paper with some writing. I didn't say

171
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: anything like notable, but then there was like a candle

172
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 5: that was blown out, but it spelled it. You know,

173
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 5: it was weird. When we walked in it fell it

174
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 5: smelled like it had just been blown out recently. And

175
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 5: when one thing that other people had said all night

176
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 5: is that like, hey, there was like this candle light

177
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 5: and this glare that kept going on in the studio.

178
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 5: So over time, like this studio just became this mecha

179
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: to the point where some of our engineers and artists's

180
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 5: studios either would have the best experience ever and they'd

181
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 5: feel this energy and go in into crazy or they'd

182
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 5: get shared shit, listen, get out of there. And as

183
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: we moved on, we ended up actually remodeling the entire

184
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 5: place and tearing the studio down. And when we tore

185
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 5: it down, they actually found all these candles. They had

186
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 5: been burned behind one of these other walls that nobody

187
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 5: had ever opened up. So there was like a little

188
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 5: dead area and like kind of a crawl space going

189
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 5: to the window. And we never know what happened, We

190
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 5: never know what energy took place. We don't even know

191
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 5: if there's like bodies buried in there, like you look

192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: at Phil Specter SIXU. We were like, there're con Ben

193
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: some crazy shit in there. But I didn't know it

194
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: was Phills until after we moved in there. And that's

195
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 5: where I was like, oh shit, is there gonna be

196
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 5: like some bodies in the wall, like we didn't know

197
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 5: like these walls, like, dude, the like wall you like,

198
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 5: these walls are probably maybe a foot thick here, right,

199
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: Like I don't know, I'm just guessing soundproofing normal. These

200
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 5: other ones were ten x whatever that was, Like it

201
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 5: was insane when we did the demo of it. When

202
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 5: we remodeled it, it took the I think they underestimated

203
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 5: by like tenx the amount of trucks that it took

204
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 5: just to take all the wood and take all the

205
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 5: things out there. Like it was gnarly. There was never

206
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,599
Speaker 5: a place that probably had that much like soundproofing and

207
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 5: crazy shit in the wall, So who knows what happened

208
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 5: in there. And that's where we found all these candles

209
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: that would lit that felt there that was so like

210
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: that's what kind of freaked everybody out because they were new.

211
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 5: They weren't like dusty like they had just been there

212
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: and there was nobody that had access. And I mean

213
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: we made so much history on the on the flip

214
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 5: side with that, that whole building, not just the studio, right,

215
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 5: it's like where NIP where we recorded you know TMC

216
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: or you know the second except right after that and

217
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: it's where you know, so much content was generated. We

218
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 5: had the TV show and based it out of there, right,

219
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 5: We had almost like Motown in LA and Hollywood, So

220
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: there was some magic energy there. There was also dark

221
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 5: forces just like feeling that energy, which I'm I really

222
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 5: didn't like. Everybody talks about what you can really feel

223
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: it in certain areas. So yeah, man, there's so many

224
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 5: crazy moments that happened in that in that space throughout

225
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: the course of it, And I think, you know, the

226
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 5: magical if you look at what happened with like Phil Spector,

227
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: Wall of Sound, all that stuff, like all that energy

228
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 5: in one space combined and created whatever the hell was there.

229
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 5: That's our horror story that lasted probably about like a

230
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 5: good three or four years in that studio where just

231
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 5: the weirdest shit would happen all the time with all

232
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 5: these people, and there were multiple witnesses to it. And

233
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: I'm just lucky that I made it out a live belly.

234
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 2: Who knows what evil lurks in the dark places between

235
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: life and death? Did the evil spirit of Phil Spector

236
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 2: haunt the walls of DJ Ski's studio. The energy we

237
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: leave behind can reside in the places we once dwelled,

238
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 2: and if that energy is dark, it can manifest in

239
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 2: frightening ways. I think what's interesting. DJ Ski felt an

240
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: energy that could have been good or bad depending on

241
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 2: who was in the room and what energy they were tapping.

242
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: Into hip hop horror Stories, I'm your host.

243
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: Belly next on hip Hop Horror Stories, A dead Man's

244
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: Laughter and the Sounds of Terror, spring Break takes us

245
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: into his very own haunted house nightmare.

246
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 6: Yo, what up is your boy? Spring Break? And here's

247
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 6: my hip hop horror story. So about like four years ago,

248
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 6: me and my ex we were living together, and I

249
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 6: had just got a new house in Glendale, nice big

250
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 6: house in the Coda Sac. It was a nice house,

251
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 6: like it was a modern house, three stories in Glendale,

252
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 6: like in the Hill area. And yeah, it was pretty nice.

253
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 6: It had nice pool jacuzzi. It was really really the

254
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 6: house looked amazing. Everything was good, like, you know, and

255
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 6: and me and me and my girl, though, we was

256
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 6: having problems. So we end up we was arguing a

257
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 6: lot more there than ever. And she just she was

258
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: just telling me how she didn't like the energy in

259
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 6: the house. And I was just like, whatever, you just

260
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 6: just exaggerating, you know, And she ends up, she can't

261
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 6: take it. So after some months she just moves out,

262
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 6: and so we we pretty much broke up for that moment.

263
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 6: And then she's like, she starts trying to scare me, like,

264
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 6: I think it's like a bad a bad spirit in

265
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 6: the house. And I'm like, no bad spirit in the house.

266
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 6: And then so she she's like, no, I went and

267
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 6: saw a psychic lady and uh, I did a reading

268
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 6: and they they told me that the house that your

269
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 6: your your your man is is living in has a

270
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 6: bad spirit in the house. It's a it's a fifty five.

271
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: Year old man that died in the house. My ex.

272
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 6: Reading reading psychic lady told her that the man was

273
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 6: very very a very very angry man. He used to

274
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 6: he used to like abuse his his his wife, and

275
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 6: she left him. She left him there and he ended

276
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 6: up dying there. But he was an angry, angry man,

277
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 6: like he was mean to everyone. So at that point

278
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 6: she's telling me this, I'm like, you would be telling

279
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 6: me this knowing I'm living here by myself.

280
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: You know.

281
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 6: And shortly after that, now I'm aware and I'm like,

282
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 6: all right, let me erasing from my head. And so

283
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 6: I'm chilling. I'm watching TV by myself, just me and

284
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 6: my dog. I had a French bulldog. I had him

285
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 6: for like seven years. And I look over to my

286
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 6: staircase and my lights just cut on, and I'm like, okay,

287
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 6: all right, maybe I'm tripping.

288
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 4: Maybe I didn't flip the switch all the way.

289
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 6: So I turned it off and just tried to excuse it,

290
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 6: and then I ended up falling asleep.

291
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: I wake up and the light.

292
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 6: Is back on, so I'm like, okay, no, I'm not

293
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 6: tripping now now I'm spooked. So my dog, I'm like,

294
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 6: I don't want even leave the living room, so I'm

295
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 6: calling my dog. My dog usually always just comes soon

296
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 6: as I call his name, calling his name nothing, So

297
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 6: then I go downstairs get I get enough courage to

298
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 6: go downstairs and and the dog is just staring at

299
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 6: the wall. My dog was fucking freaked out, like just

300
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 6: staring at the wall, but like looking scared, and he

301
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 6: scared me, and like, yo, you know, you call a

302
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 6: dog name, they always look. He wasn't even looking at me,

303
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 6: he was just staring at the wall, looking scared. I'm like,

304
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 6: you're scaring me, And I'm like, dude, what are you

305
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 6: doing like yo. And he wouldn't even move to look

306
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 6: at me. He's just staring at the wall. So I'm like, yo, okay,

307
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 6: I gotta get out of here.

308
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: So I leave. I leave. I end up calling a friend.

309
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: I go to the studio.

310
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,679
Speaker 6: I don't I purposely don't come back until in the

Speaker 6: A couple days later, I'm in the living room it's daytime,

316
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 6: and then downstairs I hear I hear one of my doors.

317
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 4: Slam so hard.

318
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 6: So I'm like, what the he I it's me and

320
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 6: could slam a door And there's no when going. So

321
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh no, uh uh. I call my cousin like, yo,

322
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 6: what are you doing? Like yo, come over.

323
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 4: I didn't even tell him why. I was like, yo,

324
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 4: just come over.

325
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 6: I'm telling me. It took him like an hour to come.

326
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 6: I was so spooked, I had to pee so bad.

327
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 6: So what I did was I ended up peeing in

328
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: a cup until we got there. He gets there. I

329
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 6: see him walking up to the door, and so I

330
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 6: hurry up, go answer the door.

331
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 4: But as I go downstairs, all of my room doors

332
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 4: are open. So what door shut? And slammed? That hard?

333
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 6: I was so confused, and I still didn't even tell

334
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 6: my cousin, but I was looking like, Okay, something's really

335
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 6: going on every door.

336
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 4: I had a uh my studio room.

337
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 6: I had a dance rehearsal room, and then I had

338
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 6: a a closet, which the closet can't slam like it's

339
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 6: it's already been shut. So out of these two rooms,

340
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 6: which doors slammed and why is it open?

341
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 4: It slams shut? Why is it open?

342
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 6: So I was like, okay, I gotta get to have

343
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 6: out this house. I'm not staying in this big house.

344
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 6: It's a three story house by myself.

345
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: And so.

346
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 6: I'm just fast forward, fast forward, like a couple of

347
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 6: weeks later, I'm I'm I'm chilling. I'm chilling in the

348
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,479
Speaker 6: in my room. And then I just I hear I

349
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 6: hear voices downstairs, like in the kitchen, like conversation.

350
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: And I'm like, damn, I know I need a TV on.

351
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 6: So I go down. I go down to the second floor.

352
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 6: Nothing's on. I don't hear the voices, No more and

353
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 6: it was a guy's voice. Guy's voice. I'm like, now

354
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,120

00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 6: go to sleep.

360
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: I fall asleep, and then I hear another slam. I'm like,

361
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 4: oh no, uh uh, I'm not even.

362
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 6: Finna even try to go look and see what it is.

363
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 6: I'm'a just stay stay in the room. And then I

364
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 6: hear I hear stomping and and laughing in the kitchen.

365
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 6: A guy's voice laughing in the kitchen. So oh, I'm like,

366
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 6: I gotta get out this. And now I'm like I

367
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 6: have to move. I have to move. And I ended

368
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 6: up the next day. I called the uh the realtor,

369
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 6: and I was like, because I remember her saying that

370
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 6: she had it rented out to somebody. They put down

371
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 6: the deposit and then they just never showed like they came,

372
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: seen the house, liked it, put the deposit down. They

373
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 6: moved in for like a couple of days and moved

374
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,520

00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 6: It made me call her like why did they move out?

376
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 6: And she was just like, I gotta call you back.

377
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 6: She never called me back, and like another week went by,

00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 6: light staircase did the same thing flicked on, and I

382
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 6: watched it flick on. I said, oh no, I'm out

383
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 6: of here. I got a hotel until I found a place.

384

385
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 6: and I literally left THEMN there, everything there cause I

386
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 6: didn't want I didn't want the whatever it was. I

407
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 6: I'm like, why is it? Red cups in the kitchen

408
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 6: I'm talking about My floors were sticky.

409
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 4: I look back on my camera.

410
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 6: There was a whole bunch of kids in the house, partying,

411
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:17,120
Speaker 6: set up everything. I got back home, there was nobody

412
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 6: in sight.

413
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: Did spring Break really hear the sounds of a dead

414
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: man laughing?

415
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: Who could he be?

416
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 4: What did he want?

417
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: And who were those kids partying inside his house? Where

418
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: did they really come from? Finally, what was that realtor hiding?

419
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: Did something terrible happen inside that house? A vicious murder

420
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 2: or maybe something far worse? For now, spring Break has

421
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: no answers, and neither do we. Sometimes the best thing

422
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: to do is just mind your fucking business.

423
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Do it can never pain the well?

424
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 3: Do we can never pain the well.

425
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 5: Do.

426
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: We can never pain of well do. It can never

427
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: pain a wlls the bost
