ICP on ABC

[SLAM II]

I havent been much into the music lately but i'm still a juggalo. so i was watching this last night and what kills me is people think that were some murdering gang but i dont see it? i mean you got people who rep the hatchet that go and murder then blame it on the music and people go along with that.

but icp is just like mike myers, freddy kruger, jason, and others they are all acts! ENTERTAINERS!! not once have i thought of really killing somebody, raping someone, stealing from somebody because i listen to icp because i know its all entertainment! FAKE!! GOD DAMN NOT REAL!!!

you can find the interview there.


This is trash news at it's finest, how many times have the media pointed their hypocritical fingers at artists (however bad they may be) like evangelical zealots. I'm sure if you took the same number of people in the same age group in the same social class as the majority of ICP fans, there would be no difference in the percentage violent crimes committed by fans and non-fans... the percentage of violent crimes among fans may even be less, considering they have the influence of the music itself as an outlet for teen aggression. It doesn't take a genius to look at these kids covered in paint and know they have some issues somewhere... they are just trying to find a place where they are accepted, just like any inner city gang or snobby country club. How many young men and women did you kill ABC, when you did no real investigation on whether or not Iraq had weapons of mass destruction? How many lives did you end when you took Bush's every word as gospel and allowed the American people to believe their self ambition was in our best interest? You must be responsible if they are... Oh, I forgot... the news is just entertainment too.

i myself have been a juggalo for close to 10 years now and have a clean criminal record just because you listen to a certain style of music or represent a close community of juggalo family does NOT!! mean that your an axe murdering psychopath!!! the predjudice and profiling of the juggalos has to stop its not in any sense of the word right. saying that every juggalo is a criminal or in a gang is like saying every black person is a sex crazed crack addict which isnt true its a stereotype which is one of the greatest flaws that burden man kind. this music that i very passionatly listen to has helped me through some of the toughest times of my life from growing up poor with the death of both of my parents, when bubby passed, and all the other fucked up issues. But they never influenced me to be a killer, they dont tell you to go out and kill, they arent down for that but their form of entertainment is.

if your so easily influenced that a song can make you go out and brutally kill someone you obviously have more problems than the type of music that you listen too. if you actually take a second to listen to the lyrics they promote racial tollerance and a belief of a higher power that has blessed us with the privledge to live on this beautiful earth. to all the skeptics ask any real juggalo or juggalette why they listen to this music. they will tell you its cause they can relate to the artist growing up with nothing coming from bad hoods and makin somethin of them selves that they are some of the most down to earth people youll ever meet they havent been changed by stardom they dont think there better than anybody out there. i am gunna keep it wicked and keep reppin

im just saying....god damn juggalos are not mass murdering gang related crazies!

I'm not going to say I openly agree with the report, but at the same time -- like they said, they can't help that there are some crazy people who listen to their music and take it seriously. But at the same time, there should be some amount of responsibility placed upon them. I mean, in my opinion, I mean in all honesty -- singing about rape, murder, etc. It's just stupid. I mean lets glorify hateful acts why don't we? Is this really what the world is coming to.

My girlfriend listens to ICP, and it makes me want to skullfuck myself with a shotgun. But to each his own -- do I think Juggalo's should be automatically identified as a gang? No. But at the same time, don't cry like they're the only group that's being blamed for things. There are tons of other things that have that rep as well in this world, and it's never going to go away.Crying and ranting about it won't do a god damn thing.

As long as there people singing about violence and things of a graphic nature, there will be an idiot who takes them seriously.

[Whitey Ford]

ICP are retarded. Thats my argument, and I win.

I still laugh about how they tried to get into a pissing contest with Eminem, and called him 'Slim anus'. Really? He has a small asshole? As opposed to ICP having...large ones? Idiots.

[Lucius Bird]

Eminem and co. annihilated ICP though. It was like watching Georges St. Pierre kick the crap out of some guy with no arms and no legs named Mat.

[SLAM II]

ive actually been listening to em, and have to say his flows and beats are truely sick as fuck. hes opened me to a varity of greater artists them himself though Tony Yayo, Swifty Mcvay, d12, King gordy, and on-and-on!
