Some people just don't get it I guess..but I could really give to fucks. oh yeah, and that whole thing about being like Eminem is a fucking joke. I used to watch him hand out flyers to kids in line when ICP was the biggest thing in Detroit...The kid basically sucked Dr. Dre's dick and become famous...whoopy fucken do! ICP started WITH NOTHING. No radio, No MTV, no fucken nothing. Yet they managed to start their own label and sell over a million albums...Yup, these guys have absolutely no talent.
You can't deny that the greater majority of ICP fans are confused, obsessive teenagers that have no clue how ignorant they sound or look impersonating their favorite group. They cast normal people, which are normal fans, in a bad light, placing them into the aforementioned stereotype. I'm not downplaying the band itself. They should be respected for what they have accomplished. But when you say you're an ICP fan among educated (somewhat) adults (again, somewhat) be prepared to be negatively judged. My apologies for blurting out the first thing that came to my mind when people mentioned they were ICP fans, but this is obviously a testament to the stereotype (and burden, if you aren't like that) that an ICP fan carries.
