He then answers questions from Juggalos. It's a long article just an outstanding read. The article can be found right here.
It'southward taking forever for the website to load but I went alee and made a video going over the main points of the article. NO this is not shameless self promotion for the record! LOL
Tearing J'Southward MASSIVE SHOOT INTERVIEW
Get-go AND FOREMOST, How practise you feel about Twiztid leaving Psychopathic?
I feel several dissimilar means actually. I feel bad for the ninjas out there that are injure by them leaving. I experience bad for those who've always wanted them to be hither with us at Psychopathic Records with ICP and who don't fully understand how indie music works. In that location are some things they are just going to take to attempt and understand here. Psychopathic is basically ICP's label. Nosotros own this company. Twiztid spent something similar 17 years here with usa. Just like ICP did, Twiztid too wants to grow as a ring and as a concern. They desire less hands in their cookie jar. Nobody really knows Twiztid'due south exact next move only I would guess it is to kickoff their ain label and web store just like Shaggy and I did years agone. I know many Juggalos wanted them to spend their entire career here, under our fly. But, run into, for Twiztid no matter how we do things, they are always going to be looked at as number ii here at Psychopathic adjacent to ICP, only considering ICP owns the characterization! I'm certain they want to be in total command over themselves and any acts they may want to sign. There is no fuckin' beef or hard feelings in this conclusion. I mean, come up on homo, they put in 17 years loyal to the Hatchet! If anybody doubts Twiztid's loyalty to united states of america or to Juggalos they are fuckin' truly insane. There was no easy way for them to tell the states they were leaving and there was no easy way for us to tell you lot, other than to just say information technology and let speculation run wild. People have to gene in something very real and of import … Twiztid are our friends and family. We love Jamie and Paul for existent. We have been through hell and high waters with each other similar ninjas would never believe. Nosotros completely respect their move. No matter how we spell it out, it'due south still going to hurt some people. Those are the people I feel bad for. The ninjas whose backs are covered with Twiztid and ICP tattoos centered effectually a giant Hatchet Man who are upset by this move. I'm sorry they are upset but I'm here to tell you that the bail between ICP and Twiztid will never ever die or soften. The only real way for Twiztid to grow at this point was to get out Psychopathic and beginning their own company. They're not leaving the country! They are not leaving the rap game! They are not leaving the family! They are only leaving according to some simple paperwork. That's it! Besides that, Twiztid is even so and will always be right where they have always been. Juggalotus for life!
People don't know this still but basically Blaze left Psychopathic with Twiztid. Blaze has always been a part of Twiztid. Twiztid brought Blaze to Psychopathic years agone and he'south always been kind of nether their wing. We knew Bonfire was going to go out the day Twiztid informed us they were stepping out. Because Twiztid and Blaze are basically as one. Nosotros're not upset with Blaze at all. Those guys all grew upwardly together on the East Side, as close as close tin can be without being gay. I merely wish in that location was some fashion to inform the whole earth all at once that there really is nothing to exist distressing about here. If anything, ninjas should actually exist happy for Twiztid and Blaze for stepping up, assembling a crew of their own trustworthy homies and fuckin' going for it on their own. We are happy for them, we are proud of them and mother fucker, we are here for them if they need annihilation in the world. We understand.
How does it affect Psychopathic with Twiztid and Bonfire gone?
Yes, them leaving forth with Boondox all pretty much within the same year has definitely rocked our gunkhole to say the least but nosotros will sail on. People speculating that Psychopathic might be going under should lay off the fuckin' meth. Seriously. Psychopathic going nether? Delight. If you believe that the Hatchet volition e'er go under, then I take a bridge to sell you on Pluto, bitch. We will go nether all right; nether the streets, bitch! For now we have a smaller roster, yeah, but we will never cease chirapsia our drums all dark, every nighttime and raising our flag every single solar day. As long as ICP is hither, we are solid as a boulder. And the Wicked Clownz will never dice. We appreciate all the years those amazing acts take stayed with us. We accept no complaints. We volition keep to sell all the incredible albums that they released while they were here at Psychopathic, as they will remain part of The Hatchet'southward catalog. As for our time to come, we will just continue moving ahead doing anything nosotros tin can to keep on being a fresh ass, unfuckwithable, underground, Juggalo record label. Nosotros are gonna do the best nosotros can to keep existence the label that dominates the underground tunnels. We evidently can't always fill the epically huge, size 1000 shoes of Twiztid, just we tin be fresh as fuck in finding make new, totally different types of acts and groups. We have a couple new tricks upward our sleeves already. Once over again, let me land, nothing volition ever fill up the void left by Twiztid and we won't even try to. Twiztid and Bonfire and even Boondox are forever Psychopathic Records Hall of Fame artists and are welcome back any day they wish forever. But for now we will explore the contrary direction and see what'southward happening on the other side of the spectrum. As for our future releases, if we miss at kickoff, or even at the 2nd or tertiary try, nosotros will damn sure hit that thou slam somewhere downwards the road. I guarantee it. We ain't going anywhere. Nosotros are confident in our freshness. Nosotros love existence the underdogs and we honey being doubted. We feed off that shit. We feed off hate. Look how fatty I am. That's because I eat the words of haters and that's a huge banquet for me every damn twenty-four hour period. The Hatchet volition proceed on choppin'.
With Twiztid, Blaze and Boondox gone who is left officially on Psychopathic?
Offset let me state something that we really want ninjas everywhere to understand near Psychopathic Records. ICP is Psychopathic and Psychopathic is ICP. That will always be the instance. Nothing on this earth volition ever change that. ICP is Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. We are on Psychopathic Records and that makes this label INDESTRUCTABLE. Fatty or skinny, sometime school, new school, long hair or fuckin' bald. Things might alter about us but you can e'er count on Joe and Joey and that running human with the hatchet being here to practice what we do for Juggalos. Empathise that. It'southward been that fashion since 1991 and information technology's gonna be that way until 3091 and across. Most of the ninjas we work with throughout our massively long career will unfortunately come up and go. Fifty-fifty the all time greats will come and go from our roster because we don't command them and their lives. We have no control over anything except ICP and the running human being that represents u.s.a.. When ninjas you love get out or depart from working with Psychopathic you tin can always keep following their awesome careers apart from the states just obviously nosotros cannot be responsible for any of the moves or plays they make. We volition piece of work with different people, producers and partners as the many years go past and nosotros will continue to do so but the hard truth is that we only have control over our own selves. Joey and I have sworn our lives to each other, the Juggalos and to the Hatchet Fam. Equally far as who else is signed to Psychopathic Records officially and according to contract, and who leaves, nosotros just cannot control. I've ever thought in one case a Juggalo always a Juggalo, because that Juggalo will ever live somewhere within your soul, whether on the surface or hidden deep within. Alter is the merely guarantee about this life. Fourth dimension and take chances will modify ICP but ICP will always be hither for you. We are like a gigantic, unmovable boulder in the middle of the urban center. Yous can paint usa up in different colors over the years. You tin stick us with other large rocks. The seasons and the cityscape might modify all around the states but that one, large, hardcore boulder will always be the same. It'southward likewise huge and heavy and also permanent to ever move. You can make it look different or modify the backdrop behind it but the rock itself own't e'er going to leave. We wish nosotros could sit here and say that things volition last forever. We wish nosotros could exercise Dark Lotus and stuff like that forever and always and maybe we tin can. Who knows? Nosotros volition definitely do our best, besides. But we tin't guarantee yous anything except ourselves, ICP and the Hatchet Man. That's the but promise or guarantee that we can make to you ninjas. That Hatchet Man symbol and those 2 clowns volition become hand and paw forever. We volition always do our all-time to continue to do your favorite supergroups and side projects, including brand new ones, and we will keep to sign new acts at the label equally the years get past. We will proceed every bit best we tin because that's what we do.
Here officially however signed to Psychopathic Records (for now) is ICP, of form, Anybody Killa, Cold 187um, Jumpsteady, Legz Diamond, Mike E. Clark, DJ Clay, (a brand new mystery artist whose proper name and video we volition shortly release), Vanilla Ice, Zug Izland, Dark Lotus and Psychopathic Rydas. (Twiztid and Blaze informed me this forenoon that they are still fully downwards to come up together from time to fourth dimension whenever time permits to record and release Nighttime Lotus and/or Psychopathic Rydas albums on Psychopathic Records when possible. It's always been difficult to brand it work with our schedules but if we can make it work in the hereafter, information technology's going down, my friends. So long alive Dark Lotus and the Psychopathic Rydas!)
How volition Twiztid'south and Bonfire'southward difference affect the Gathering?
As far as we know it won't bear upon the Gathering at all. As far every bit we know they will be at every Gathering each and every year as always. Similar I said they are Family for LIFE and just because they are (presumably) starting their own label doesn't mean they're suddenly not coming to perform at the Juggalo family reunion every twelvemonth! Please, ninjas, try to understand the one matter that will alive forever betwixt us all is our Juggalo Family Bond.
AND Now RANDOM QUESTIONS STRAIGHT FROM THE JUGGALOS….
QUESTION: Trigger-happy J, Growing up with your music, the story of the six joker cards take actually touched my spirit. You lot told that story, trying to spread the give-and-take of god or a god. Well my question to you is that on the mighty decease popular you lot really question where is god, in other words where is the carnival. Usually y'all speak of "god" with such certainty in your music. Also I noticed that no where on any of the three mighty decease pop cases did it say "Dedicated to the butterfly", the saying you've used on every anthology sense carnival of carnage. And then, Have you begun to lose faith?
– 8 BallANSWER: I'll be honest. Fuck no. We haven't lost any faith in God. In fact, nosotros have more than faith at present than ever. We asked "Where'southward God?" because as people go through their lives and face hard times, that is a question we all accept asked ourselves, no matter who yous are or how close to God you are. As for Death Pop not having the "Defended to The Butterfly" anywhere on information technology, we repent for that. Another thing The Mighty Death Popular is missing is the part written by Jumpsteady that explains how and where The Mighty Death Pop fits into the Nighttime Carnival mythology. He writes one for every Joker's carte and that as well was mistakenly left out. Those are honest mistakes. It was a crucial time. We were puttin' so much work into all the artwork that came with the four different releases of The Mighty Death Pop that honestly some of the simplest stuff was forgotten. It was crunch time. We fired the guy that was working on about of the stuff because he was moving too slow so we switched art guys at the terminal 2d and the deadline was fast approaching and it was total chaos. We've always made mistakes here at Psychopathic. Typos and shit. We're scrubs, homo, nosotros make mistakes sometimes. Don't read besides much into them, specially when questioning the very fabric of ICP and The Dark Carnival. Just so yous know, information technology is official; The Mighty Decease Pop albums, all three versions are all defended to the Butterfly and yous can finally read Jumpsteady's explanation of The Mighty Decease Pop by clickingHERE.
QUESTION: When is ICP going to make some wicked shit? I remember you saying you guys were taking all the public insults from Miracles and using that anger to make the new record. The Mighty Death Pop is awesome but not wicked. The terminal wicked thing from ICP was Hells Pit. I love everything yous guys do but where is the wicked donkey shit?
– Adam P.ANSWER: Hell'due south Pit was especially wicked because it was most HELL'S PIT. If y'all honestly don't hear the wickedness in Death Pop in such songs equally "Bazooka Joey," "Dark of the Chainsaw," "Chris Benoit," "The Blasta," "Dog Catchers," "Shooting Stars," and more shit on Death Pop, and so maybe information technology's simply that you lot've gotten so used to the Wicked Shit that it doesn't daze you anymore. Seriously. Peradventure it'due south just that you're so conditioned to it after all these years that information technology's hardened you upwardly. Maybe it sounds normal to you at present. It'south like the Rodney King beating video. After seeing information technology 10,000 times, it'due south not as shocking anymore. Just I'm certain if whatever popular music fan compares The Mighty Decease Pop to anything else in popular music today, Death Pop will stand out as extremely wicked.
QUESTION: Is there a possibility of another Jokers Card concert? (I.Due east. Great Milenko, Astonishing Jeckel Brothers, The Wraith)
– Chris Due south.Reply: Admittedly. We're gonna do absurd shit similar that for the remainder of our career. These shows won't e'er exist in Detroit either. We will look on Sound Scan and see where the album sold the virtually and do that concert in that urban center. The Riddle Box Show was then dope, of course we're gonna practise more!
QUESTION: Blindside! Pow! Boom! is an crawly anthology. Nosotros all know about "Miracles" but what was the inspiration behind "Vera Lee"? In that location wasn't a single cuss word or murder reference in that track. Props yo!
– AkasonnoANSWER: Thanks, ninja. Yeah, nosotros don't fix out to cuss or murder somebody on every song we make. If it calls for it, so we volition add together it. "Vera Lee" comes from the memories I had as a lilliputian child. That's where most of our music comes from. I went to school with a girl very much similar Vera Lee when I was young.
QUESTION: Hey, J. I've merely been wondering lately, what inspired you to make the second set of joker's cards. when did you come upwards with the idea for those?
– AlexANSWER: That's all nosotros truly know how to practice and the messages proceed coming to us every bit potent as ever, so why stop? After the start fix of six, nosotros made The Storm album, which wasn't a Joker's Card or function of whatsoever series. We felt lost, like we'd fallen off the track during that time, and then after that we decided to face criticism and continue telling the stories of the Dark Carnival. To u.s.a., it feels like it was the all-time selection we've ever fabricated. Information technology'southward what we were truly put here on this dirty mud ball to exercise.
QUESTION: Do you already know the names of the new half-dozen joker cards, and what they look similar/what they do for the Dark Carnival?
– Christian C.Answer: No. I look for each 1 to come to me only like it's always been.
QUESTION: Are there going to exist any EP'south in between the new jokers cars similar in the 1st set?
– Abdy Z.ANSWER: I really can't say right at present. I'k sure in that location will be merely then again, maybe not. I tin can't really provide an answer for this question because I but don't know. I'g sure in that location will be another EP but I can't say for sure that there will be one between every Joker's Bill of fare.
QUESTION: What upwards j!!! my question for you is will moon glorious ever grace the juggalos and juggalettes with his presence over again? i would sure love to see that gumpy fuck!!
– annie 2 dopeANSWER: The truth to that question is yes. In fact, there will probably be lots and lots more of Moon. In fact, nosotros have something really big in the works and y'all tin can wait to see Moon, Florida Joe and many, many new ninjas as well. I wish nosotros could reveal our big news only nosotros tin't say a word about information technology just yet. Merely to respond your question… YES. And why's he gotta be gumpy?
QUESTION: Where does your musical inspiration come up from to write the fresh music that you create??
– Anthony P.Respond: Cheers for maxim our music is fresh. The inspiration comes from The Dark Carnival. I know y'all probably wanted more to that answer simply I gotta be honest. That'due south completely it.
QUESTION: Why do you think it is necessary to be mainstream? I yet have mad love for you and shaggy both, but I gotta say it hurts too watch you on fuse and shit. From a downward ass ninjette, whoop whoop!
– Sideshow DevonReply: How the fuck are nosotros mainstream? Fuse ain't even a mainstream station. I take a question for you. What has ICP changed virtually ourselves that makes usa mainstream? Nothing. We are the same ICP as nosotros've always been. Do yous encounter us at The Grammys? Or any honor shows? Does MTV play our videos? Does any fuckin' body play our videos? Does whatsoever of our music go spun on the radio? How the fuck are nosotros mainstream? Because the Fuse Network shows us some love? Shit I think it'due south awesome they show us honey because they let u.s.a. exist u.s.a.! Nosotros don't change or soften our shit for them. They take us every bit we are. Props to them for beingness open minded enough to fuck with a group like us, where the rest of the world is far too pussy to e'er fuck with the Wicked Clowns.
QUESTION: Whud Upward J! What happened to the Jokers Card box fix you talked about at the GOTJ? Was really pumped to get that under my tree this Xmas and it wasn't to be, what the fuck gives!?
– Arthur G.Reply: Yep, that sucks nosotros couldn't get that out in time. The Riddle Box album was released by Jive Records and The Peachy Milenko and The Amazing Jeckel Brothers were both released on Isle Def Jam. That means those companies own the rights to that music. And so information technology's been kind of difficult to become everybody to cooperate and work together on putting out a box set. We honestly didn't retrieve it would be this much trouble.
QUESTION: What tin can yous tell us on the process of the new Vanilla Water ice tape and do y'all know at this time if there volition exist whatsoever fam collabs? Will Ice exist more involved in Psyphers and might he become a Ryda?
– GasMask ManANSWER: That ninja is very busy all around the world. The only thing nosotros can tell you for certain is that Vanilla Ice is our boy and he is definitely signed with Psychopathic Records. As soon every bit he's ready to come habitation and piece of work on some new music, we will exist correct here ready to rock. His new album is set to be produced past ICP and Mike E Clark and we tin can't fuckin' await. He is all over the world though. He'south doing Television shows in other countries and all kinds of shit. His situation is way dissimilar than ours or any of our other artists and that's why you haven't seen him in the Psyphers and shit but every time nosotros exercise one nosotros try and piece of work it out with him to exist here and we damn sure will in the future. Just endeavour to sympathise he's got a lot on his plate. Don't lose religion, he'southward a Juggalo through and throughout. And when that new album drops, it'southward droppin' hard on Psychopathic Records with The Hatchet Fam all over it.
QUESTION: What is playing in that short skit after Piggy Pie song when u're talking with a guy on suicide hotline who wanna shoot himself and u say HOOOOOOOOOOOOLD OOOOOOOOOOON! And then some evil punk rock is playing I would really like to know who is that or was that made by you?
– BoNZoANSWER: That music was made past us trying to be funny and shit. Haha! We should practise an anthology of that.
QUESTION: i been wondering this since hells pit dropped and wanted to get the reason strait from you rather then speculate with the speculators but yo why aint you all ever bear on faygo when you do a hells pit joint on stage? like i said there is speculation out at that place ..but i never heard or read a statement from you all why that is?
– RiesANSWER: I don't know what you're talking about here. Purely coincidence, I guess. I'm sure nosotros throw Faygo during Hell'due south Pit songs. If nosotros haven't, and so it must just be a strange coincidence then, I guess. Maybe information technology's because the Faygo would put out all the flames of hell!
QUESTION: Ok, my question is this; can nosotros expect the sequal to your #i best selling autobiography someday soon? I read Backside the Paint x times the kickoff week information technology was out!
– Chris R.ANSWER: Bestselling? Yes! Hahaha! It'due south not fifty-fifty available in any book stores but cheers. And yes! There volition exist another volume coming out, y'all can count on that freshness happening one thousand percent! And the new volume, I promise you, will reveal huge things virtually ICP that fifty-fifty the most die hardest ninjas never had a clue most. It'due south gonna sincerely school the shit out of everybody who reads it. People recall they know everything about us, only nobody really knows what all goes on behind the padded walls of Psychopathic Records and the trials and tribulations we face everyday. This book will shock even the most knowledgeable ninjas.
QUESTION: After Jeckel Brothers you guys got away more and more equally the years went on from rapping and story telling from your "Wicked Clown" perspective and started going more than towards rapping as the people "shaggy" and "J". Was this a conscious decison? Did y'all want to pull away from ninjas relating to serial killers and have juggalos relate to you more as "people" ??
– Penguin TitsANSWER: Very, very good observation, Penguin Tits. No, we didn't exercise annihilation on purpose. I think that just kind of gradually happened and nosotros were unaware of it. But you're right. Information technology did go downwards kind of similar that, I tin can't deny it. But something else also happened though. Nosotros also started rapping in the personas of different killers and different characters in general, not merely every bit J and Shaggy. For example, "Night of the Chainsaw" takes us into the mind of a madman killing any and everybody with a chainsaw. I approximate nosotros kind of trailed away from always being the Wicked Clowns every fourth dimension to being several dissimilar characters in general. Only at present that you mentioned it, I think I'm going to concentrate on taking united states back into the minds of the Wicked Clowns. We nevertheless exercise brand songs as the Wicked Clowns but just not as often. We will work on that. I hope you lot like the new stuff too because even if nosotros stray away from something we once did more of, we nonetheless work just as difficult in beingness creative and beingness as good of story tellers and we never consider our shit sloppy.
QUESTIONS: In Backside the Paint yous said that if you ever had kids that you would have a hard time making them go to school considering of your experiences at school. At present that you lot have kids, has your opinion inverse at all?
– Chris L.ANSWER: My opinion hasn't changed but thankfully their mom is a cracking mom most that. She helps them and she'south fifty-fifty function of the school committee and all that. She volunteers for this and that. I allow the kids stay home probably more than than I should. For example, if nosotros are shooting a video that day or something absurd like that is going on, I similar to let them skip school and so they can run effectually the assault location and all that cool stuff. But Michelle is so skilful at being a responsible female parent that the kids are doing great in school. I accept a difficult time taking school serious, aye, but she'southward so adept well-nigh information technology that it levels out. JJ is kickin' major donkey and getting great grades in the 2nd grade. I failed the 2nd course and had to practice the class twice. So correct there is proof that they are doing ameliorate than I ever did. Schoolhouse was very hard for me and I worry most my kids far too much. One time JJ didn't desire to ride the jitney to school whatever more than because an older kid was picking on him. That really freaked me out. I went to pick him upward from school and had him point the kid out to me. The kid was a 5th grade condom guard. So the side by side morning I walked upwards to the child and asked him if he knew who my son JJ Bruce was and he said "Yeah." I said, "Do you call him names on the bus?" He said "No." I said "Yes you practice and gauge what? It's gonna finish now. Do you understand me? Now." I mean mugged him hard. He said he understood. The next two mornings and after school I picked JJ up, I made information technology a point to become stand near that kid so he could come across me staring and mean muggin' him. I wanted to scare the kid. I idea peradventure he volition tell his dad and I could boot his dad'south ass. Only the point is, I remember I was taking information technology too far. The kid stopped calling JJ names on the charabanc and everything but JJ is gonna have to take intendance of his own battles. He knows that now but I but wanted to help him out that first time. I know I was probably a weirdo for going to his school to punk out a 5th grader just I couldn't control myself. I wanted to slap that kid's hat off.
QUESTION: Will there or could there ever be a possibility of a Wizard of the Hood film, video or tour? Ive been down with the hatchet for alot of years and ive followed it all, i recall Wizard of the Hood was super fuckin fresh, itd be prissy to run across like a curt film or video or mayhap a full blown stage bout! Thanks for takin the time to read this homies. Shout outs to the Quad City juggalo fam!
– CoryRespond: I know you will probably detest or not understand this answer but I believe what makes Wizard of The Hood so dope is how information technology plays out in your heed when you hear information technology. I think if nosotros fabricated one long video for it that information technology just wouldn't be as cool as information technology shows in your mind. If we do annihilation, it will exist a concert type phase play to it. That could be cool, with the ready behind us changing to match the song. That will probably happen one solar day. Don't worry, we all the same got the remainder of our lives. Just because that record is older now don't mean information technology won't still happen. I like to think Juggalos don't care nigh time. It's like at the Gathering. A lot of the acts we have playing are considered old schoolhouse or whatsoever, but to Juggalos we don't give a fuck if something is outdated or played out to guild. We don't pay attending to what's currently hittin' in society. I like to call up we take our own charts and they are timeless.
QUESTION: Hey J what tin can we expect with this Mighty Death Pop tour? Volition there be a new phase set and an all new set as well as some really onetime classics from like the Ringmaster era?
– Damian H.ANSWER: There's going to be a whole new stage show. I mean, there is just so much nosotros can exercise to make information technology different. I hope people don't expect too much to be unlike because we're even so gonna have clowns and Faygo and confetti and all that. But yes, there will be a whole new phase set and a whole new show planned. I tin can't expect. Right now, I have a torn meniscus in my left knee and that is holding the states dorsum. I have to have surgery on information technology only thankfully it's a uncomplicated surgery then it won't keep me down too long. I'm fuckin' and then, so looking frontwards to doing The Mighty Expiry Pop Tour. Think about information technology, that album has been out for months now and we haven't fifty-fifty toured on it nevertheless. It'due south coming!
QUESTION: My question is, If y'all couldn't be the who you lot are today; i/2 of the about hated band in the globe, proprietor of Psychopathic Records, who in my opinion, produce and inspire some of the most thoughtful and creative art that many are too timid to attempt on their own, and inspiration to millions of scrubs who thought that they couldn't be proud of who they are; what would you want to do with your life that would take the same affect on the world and people that you do now. I ask considering it's truly unique in the way that you lot, Shaggs and the rest of the Psychopathic family chose to share your messages and deliver it with such power and even so make something beautiful in the procedure. I wonder if there'south some other way that those of u.s. who are not as creative could have the same impact? They say that art delivers a bulletin and has meaning. Is there some other manner that y'all could bring the same bulletin without the art?
– Dan D.ANSWER: Dang, Dan, I just don't know. I ever figured that if I wasn't rapping, I would be a wrestler. God has a cool style of working things out. You accept to understand something. None of this was in the plans. We never knew the music would bring so many scrubs together in such an crawly manner. It just happened. The magic took over. The power is in positive thinking. I know that for some of us that's merely not that like shooting fish in a barrel. Some of united states of america are born with depression and it's hard to think positive all the time simply if you tin can do information technology, if you lot tin can force your brain to think positive, you can practice whatever you lot want, man. Gosh I wish you could understand how powerful and creative y'all really are, ninja. If you want to, you lot tin can. If y'all can recognize it in us, then it's in you too. Take you ever heard the term, 'Game recognize game?' That means if you lot tin come across the fine art in my fine art, that'due south because the art is in you too. Where at that place is a will there is a style, my blood brother.
QUESTION: Volition Legs Diamond be going out on bout when his anthology drops?
– JoshRespond: Thank you for asking most Legz Diamond because he fuckin' deserves information technology. Yes he volition be out on tour. Yous talk about paying dues, that ninja has sat in the back ground helping make ICP what we are for all those years and he's never one time pulled us aside and said "Hey, what virtually me?" Well now information technology'south rightfully his turn. His shit don't sound like ICP at all. He sings, he doesn't rap. I just hope at that place'due south plenty open minded ninjas out there who are downward with something different. I'1000 talking different amidst the different! It's his turn to shine and when we fabricated that album, we made the best Legz Diamond album for Legz Diamond. We didn't attempt to make him something he's not. He'due south fresh as hell just like he is.
QUESTION: I know its a stupid question but do y'all call back that its ok for a 14 year old to exist a juggalette ?
– Emma HRespond: Why the fuck not? Listen, this is what I call back. I remember you have your whole life ahead of you. If you're a Juggalette now, that's crawly. But if one mean solar day you get to college and start hangin' with a new grouping of friends and you start to like other kinds of music, merely don't be one of those bitches that's like, "Tin you believe I used to be a Juggalette? I was so young and stupid, I approximate." Never talk that shit about us. Never sell u.s. out because the you at fourteen is just as important to your legacy as the you at 34. Yeah, information technology'southward OK to exist a fourteen twelvemonth old Juggalette. It'southward even OK if yous abound out of being a Juggalette i mean solar day, only practise united states a favor. Never sell us out. E'er call back the good times y'all had as a Juggalette and cherish them. Don't expect back on them with regret, look back on these days as smashing days. Never bad mouth the family. Amend nevertheless, stay downwardly with the family unit forever!
QUESTION: WHOOP WHOOP! Ok my question is this. Why are in that location no younger artist beingness signed to Psychopathic or Hatchet House?
– EmZee S.ANSWER: That's a fuckin' spectacular question! We're trying, I'thousand telling you that right now. We're looking everyday! We will be signing someone soon, that is my word. If you only knew how hard nosotros are looking. We don't want to sign somebody that's not gonna want to exist hither in five years! We want to make certain that this person or grouping understands that being a Juggalo artist on Psychopathic means it'south pretty much for life. Because even being down with us for a couple years could mean lots of things. Information technology could mean you're a gang member according to the FBI, information technology could hateful yous will never have radio or MTV video play. Being a Juggalo has to really exist in your middle and soul to sign with us, because you are forever branded a Juggalo thing afterward yous've been here. So far it'due south been like that anyhow. So nosotros are looking for somebody who understands that and who's only goal is to be a Juggalo artist for life!
QUESTION: Would you or practise you ever get tired of making music and does it depress y'all on everything that is happening with the juggalo family?

I become to be anybody and practice anything I want in my music! What could possibly exist depressing nearly the Juggalo family unit? If you're talking well-nigh the homies leaving the label, yes and no. Yes, it's depressing that zero stays the same forever only seriously, SERIOUSLY, Twiztid and Blaze and Boondox are all even so hither making music for you to savor. They are our homies for life. What's depressing? They are situating themselves to do improve for themselves and be in charge of their own careers. They are Juggalo family unit forever. It's a business movement and naught more. If they are happier then we are happier and that, my ninjas, is the bottom line.
QUESTION: Did you lot ever think back in the day when u fabricated COC that you would be well on your style to creating the Juggalo family we have today?
– Heather N.ANSWER: Nosotros never in a million years could have imagined things would be the way they are. Nobody saw this coming. I'm grateful each and every unmarried day and I will keep to piece of work as hard as possible to requite back to the ninjas that support us and have supported the states for and then long. All I desire to do is go on keepin' on forever and see where information technology all goes. I detest letting anybody downward. I want to practise equally expert as I can for ninjas and give them everything they expect from the states. I merely can't believe how astonishing Juggalos accept been to u.s.a.. I merely want to give back. Me and Shaggy send each other 10 page texts about how fortunate we are. We talk to each other when painting up nearly how amazingly lucky we are. On the fashion to shows, we constantly remind each other of how fortunate we are to be doing this. He is my best friend and neither one of u.s.a. has ever gotten used to any of this, not even for a second. It'due south only so fuckin' overwhelming that sometimes I can't sleep unless I down a bottle of Nyquil. Every year that goes by, it never gets common. It's always similar it merely happened. Like we only woke up to this each and every day. Nosotros are then grateful to be living this fuckin' dream and nigh importantly is that we have to supply the demand. We have to do our accented best to stay upward on our toes and deliver the fuckin' goods for these ninjas who believe in us. That's why we work as hard or even harder today on what we practise. We never ever get used to any of this because we know it could vanish at whatsoever second and we work around the clock to make Juggalos happy with our shit. Yous can never brand everybody happy all of the time simply nosotros alive to practice our best trying. It's our obsession and passion.
QUESTON: Looking back at your previous albums, is in that location anything you would have done different? Song-wise, business-wise. Anything. Or are there no regrets? Cheers so much. Much clown beloved to you guys and your families. Whoop Whoop!
– HilaryANSWER: Cheers, ninja, and clown dear to you and yours as well. This question is crazy because nosotros listen to each album and make every change we recall it needs up until its release. Then the ii months after nosotros've handed it in and earlier it comes out, we play it constantly, and for the about part we are satisfied and happy with our work. Simply as before long equally it officially drops, like the day information technology comes out, we start to think near what we should have done differently. Information technology's the same thing every fourth dimension. We never hear our mistakes until it'south too late. It's crazy because you lot tin't hear the mistakes you've made until the anthology officially drops. And then listening becomes harder to exercise considering y'all hear all the stuff y'all wish you would take washed differently. You wonder why you lot didn't hear that stuff earlier when you could take fixed information technology. Sometimes it's painful to listen to albums that are out because you lot hear all kinds of stuff you wish you would have done differently but in that location's nothing you lot can exercise nearly it now.
QUESTION: Hows being a begetter changed yous?
– LynxANSWER: It taught me the significant of life. The pregnant of life is to keep it going. On and on. It's not about you, it'southward about your children. Having kids for me pretty much answered every question about life I ever had. Information technology taught me that it'due south not about me anymore.
QUESTION: What do you feel is the biggest misconception about you guys every bit a group?
– Juggalo Younq KnightmareANSWER: I call up the earth, not the Juggalo world, but the whole world's biggest misconception of us is that we suck. If our music was so bad, how would nosotros still be around doing this well? Mike E. Clark'southward music is astonishing, The Dark Carnival is fascinating. That's what I honestly believe.
QUESTION: what happened to Vehement J's vocalization? Information technology seems very strained and worn out. I known he's gotten older and what not but compare his voice in MDP to BPB. It inverse a lot. As well, how long are you and shaggs gonna be rapping? By the time this deck of cards is finished y'all exist similar 55 years old. I bet y'all could do it though.
– ChuklzANSWER: I think my vocalisation has changed over the years from 20 plus years of screaming my guts out on stage. It has become very strained and worn out. Not quite Michael Jackson's. I've smoked very little weed in the final 5 years and I've never smoked cigarettes. I don't drink. So information technology is what it is, my friend. I'one thousand sorry I don't sound like I did when I was nineteen. I myself don't mind my voice. I like how it sounds on Death Pop and on Bang! Pow! Boom! It doesn't audio like Riddle Box anymore but thankfully our goal isn't to sound like Riddle Box. We desire to create new classics that sound like their own eras. As for getting older? I don't know what nosotros tin do well-nigh that except await forward to it. Look, when you're young it's easy to betoken the finger at old people and express joy. But we're all headed that fashion unless you really fuck up and dice.
I'thou happy to be alive and even so rapping. Me and my brother Shaggy have every intention of doing this shit Rolling Stones style. Nosotros programme on doing this manner past 55, ninja. If that bothers you and you think nosotros should retire, I have a set of basics you can feast off. We will exist doing this shit until the mother fuckin' wheels fall off the wagon… and they are some seriously good all terrain, all weather, Goodrich wheels, bitch. Ice T is virtually 55 and he rocked the fuck outta the Gathering. George Clinton is in his 70s and he likewise killed it at the fuckin' Gathering. Who gives a fuck virtually age? The older the Wicked Clowns go, the meliorate and more exciting we will become. Marking my words. We beloved beingness the almost hated. We live to be doubted, information technology fuels u.s.. Nosotros're scrubs under this paint and don't e'er forget it.
QUESTION: Hey Big Homie, my question for you is, could yous tell the juggalos how yous experience about them calling each other "faux juggalo" or "real juggalo"?
– Jacob Due east.Answer: In my stance, if somebody considers themselves a Juggalo and they are for existent about it then that, my friend, is a for real ass Juggalo. And I hate hearing the former school Juggalos dissing the new school Juggalos and this and that. Juggalos demand to stick together. Information technology'due south hard enough out hither being a Juggalo, menstruum. We don't need to be fighting in the house too!
