    Yeah, the Dirtball is a good song.
    Actually, I quite liked that whole album Psychopathics from Outer Space it's a mix of artists but mostly ICP & Twizted. I'm not a huge Twizted fan but they have some alright songs.
    Psychopathics from Outer Space part 2 has more variety of artists on it and is my favourite of the three. Part 2 includes ABK, Esham, Blaze, Bushwick Bill & Dark Lotus...
    Here's a good song from part 2


    Some Fuckin' How by Violent J
    The video is fan made. Just random clips from other ICP songs.

    Oh dear, It’s been almost a year since I tended to this thread…

    So this article popped up on my fb last week and I’ve been meaning to post it here since I read it. It is basically just Violent J telling the meaning behind the Jokers Cards one by one.
    Obviously I understand music is very personal and everyones interpretations will be slightly different; I read a lot of comments on fb from fans claiming VJ doesn’t understand his own music, but I found it to be quite an interesting read. Some of what he says I’d already extrapolated for myself and other things took me by surprise, like the fact that the Ringmaster was a beast you had to fight when you died, I’d never thought of the Ringmaster as a very important character in the mythology. Just… you know… a ringmaster! Someone needs to control the circus.

    I’m going to quote a few of my high points here,


    I do sometimes feel embarrassed by the lyrics when I’m listening to ICP with a non-juggalo, but I also feel the holy spirit (for lack of a better term) when I’m cranking them beats.














    I remember this, there used to be a group of us that got together listening to ICP, Twiztid, Blaze, ABK all those kinda bands. When the long awaited the Wraith: Shangi-La came out the group just splintered. None of us were interested in a god loving band, we were all very anti religion. I haven’t seen many of them ever again and from the ones I do still keep in touch with, only one or two have ever gone back to the wicked clowns. I myself went off them for years after the Unveiling.
    Hells Pit the album that came out two years later is a very dark & depressing album, so although I bought it as if I was giving them one last chance I still wasn’t a fan and I put all my ICP away for years.

    The Tempest in 2007 was a bit of a different sound for them and I had a gf at the time who had never heard of ICP, so we explored the old albums and I found my love for them again.
