ICP... Evangelical Christians?!
 

http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010...christians-god

I can't decide whether I'm shocked, humored, or indifferent, hahaha.

I've always thought ICP was absolute garbage, totally not my thing... but the story is pretty interesting and I'm definitely laughing at all the nonsense they spew as well as the impact on their "fans"...

Still absolute garbage.

those guys are marketing geniuses. they basically have a cult of white trash trailer park kids following them and buying any music or merchandise they decide to sell.

Only difference is now their redneck trailertrash idiot faggot juggalos think they're garbage too

Failure about as hard as Middle Men/epass...

just another pr stunt.

Actually, not surprising in the least. I used to listen to ICP, up until their Bizaar/Bizarre albums (never considered myself a juggalo, nor painted my face like an idiot :2 cents:), and they've always subtly mentioned their belief in God. And their lyrics generally trash racists and bigots (ironic considering most of their fan base).

The article mentions they revealed it a few years ago, so its not a PR stunt, at least not now anyway. I think the point that's being missed here is that they are rappers who are christian, but not christian rappers. There is a difference. :2 cents:

Welp, they just lost a fan.
fuck them
ds

I heard some of their songs. They sing, "I'm that guy at the back of the class that went psycho and stabbed your ass." Ass-stabbing must be against a commandment.

Isn't that always what people with extreme personalities do. Behave like morons for many years than say at the end they are Christians.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh oh fatfoo.

they're far from failures imo. They had and still do have ridiculously fans that buy anything and everything they sell. Not to mention the almost always packed ICP concerts.

They're horrible musicians as far as I'm concerned but they either have a case DAMN good dumb luck or are marketing masterminds.

lmao....

Yep, I do still listen to some of their stuff, they have always been this way.

If you take a step back and get your head out of your ass and truly LISTEN to their stuff and UNDERSTAND it, you'll see.

They actually have ALOT of good decent songs, but nobody outside of their "juggalos" actually hear their meaningful songs, as they all just hear the stupid fucking around songs, and automatically assume "welp they talk about raping and murdering, apparently they suck".

Meaningful songs?
:1orglaugh

Plenty of them, but you're just one of those idiots who has their heads up their ass and hear their stupid songs.

Keep on listening to your Justin Beiber.

I always just thought they of the Raging Faggot variety...

after their shitty single.. of course they had to redeem theirselves... too bad ICP couldnt be as good as GWAR or Green Jello, now they're going down as MC hammer and the rest of those that opt in on the religulous biz

ICP doesn't even enter into the same realm as Gwar or Green Jello...

ICP has always been this way... if youre ditching them as a fan now then you never really were a fan of htem in the past because you didnt know jack shit about them.

This has always been their behind the scenes secret.

ICP made it a long way and carved out their very own fans and niche in the music world all while not being publicized by anyone. NO MTV no VH1 ... no nothing. Just their marketing and word of mouth. They at one point stood up against Eminem both in lyrics and in ratings all while eminem had everything like mtv and all their groupies backing them in the light.

as good as gwar?>! theyre not even close to the same thing and Id say far more people know of ICP than Gwar. (dont get me wrong, not knocking gwar)

Now im not the biggest die hard juggalo fan, but i do recognize what they gone through and have accomplished.

Sure theyre lyrics are crazy as fuck. But yes, there are plenty of GREAT MEANINGFUL songs. Shit. I dont think anyone in this thread would listen to 'homies' with a friend and not find that song totally kick ass. If you dont, then youre just lame...

If you dont like me you can FUCK OFFF!

Word Deej, Word.

I'm by no means the typical "juggalo". Shit some of my closest friends don't even know I own a single ICP album let alone listen to them.

Don't let the media tell you who's who and what they do, get your head out of your ignorant asses.

Here's a good one.

"Thy Unveiling" where they came out and said they follow god.

Good lord!

Yea, youre always gonna be sticky and feathered leaving an ICP concert.

I remember having root beer and all sorts of sticky shit all over me then they start droppin the fuckin feathers.

ugggggh, you fucking clown. DOWNLOAD THAT SHIT, IT'S FREE!

I was going to post that last night as one of their meaningful and spiritual songs, but I was too tired/lazy to go to youtube to get it.

:thumbsup

And what Deej said about them and Eminem...all these people here that give Em props...ICP was always lyrically just as talented. People disregard them because of the clown gimmick and don't see what's really there in the music.

Haha, I have all their shit downloaded, except I do own a few actual CDs.

What makes me LOL is these guys who say Eminem is better, don't know that he actually tried to use their name to get people to come to his shows, main reason why the beef between him and ICP existed.

I gotta tell him, I gotta be a man and handle my business
I know he's gonna hate me, I gotta call'em

What up dawg, what you been up to
Oh yeah, well thats cool, check it out
Me and you, we been down for a while right
We been here and there, we been pretty tight
Somethin happened last night that you might get upset about
But hear me out, I didnt mean nothin by it,
Im gonna make this quick
I gave your momma this dick
I dunno how it happened
I just know my nuts and her itch was slappin'
I was over there mowin' the grass
And I could feel her eyes all up on my ass
And then i went inside to make a phone call
And there she was with a tittie hanging out her bra
One thing just led to another
Next thing you know I'm butt-fucking your mother

Please dont hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please dont hate me
I never said I loved the hoe
Please dont hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please dont hate me
You never should have trusted a juggalo

Don't hang up, I still got more
Your momma gives head like a herion whore
I wasn't thinking about you as my bud
When she spread my butt cheeks and went for the milkdud
We broke out with your grandpa's gin
And got drunk, I fucked her with a bowling pin
She's freaky, her nipples look like peanuts
Your mommas one of my favorite sluts
She likes lickin from the back of my balls
To the tip of my dick with one big lick
She calls me her big teddy bear
I chase her around in my underwear
I admit I like spanking her butt
I used your sock though to catch my nut
Dont worry, I put it back, I knew I better
Thats why your toes been stickin together

Please don't hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please don't hate me
I never said I loved the hoe
Please don't hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please don't hate me
You never should have trusted a juggalo

Maybe they call you a termihater
If this was a swamp youd be a allihater
You could use a cold glass of haterade
Sure come on up, take the elehater

Your moms ass looks like oatmeal yo
It's bumpy and grainy, I like the feel though
And I ain't trying to diss her either
I'm only sayin I wish you would trim her beaver some
Every hair is like a foot long
Bitch looks like a werewolf wearing a thong sometimes
Its alright with me though
I don't mind as long as I can find the pee hole
And your dad so dumb he's knowing nuthin
Here I am stuffin her muffin
Not to mention the pickle buffin
And I hope me and you are still cool
I'm spending the night so she can drive me to school tomorrow
And we plan on fuckin again, alright, I'll talk to you again
Peace EMINEM

(someone got fucked up nigga)

Please don't hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please don't hate me
I never said I loved the hoe
Please don't hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please don't hate me
You never should have trusted a juggalo Please don't hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please don't hate me
I never said I loved the hoe
Please don't hate me
But I been fuckin your mom loose lately Please don't hate me
You never should have trusted a juggalo

"Peace Eminem" :1orglaugh :1orglaugh I love that song.

Terrible music... cult like following of the most retarded people on the planet... tons of murder and rape in the lyrics... sounds pretty christian to me.

I mainly like their comedy style songs..

Please Don't Hate Me
The Neden Game
Superballs

Best post of the thread! I've listened to them since their first album in 92 and it started out cause I loved bass and the songs were funny.. They have really grown as people and so has their music over the years.. Icp is much bigger then just icp.. The are co founders of their own record label and all the groups have the juggalo sound with their own twist to them. Then they have JCW their own pro wrestling that has grown huge (although I hate wrestling..)

I wasn't even going to post to this cause so many people are closed minds and the great thing about icp is they don't give a shit if they are ever mainstream cause they know who they are and will always have loyal fans cause they don't sell out to make a buck.

"I'm a be down, I'm a be down,
Down with the clown till I'm dead in the ground."

:thumbsup

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I'm not an ICP fan at all and yes, I've listened to a LOT of their stuff. I find some of it humorous but that's about it. It's all personal preference.

I will say though that they are a bunch of fucking idiots... did you read interview?

""Well," Violent J says, "science is… we don't really… that's like…" He pauses. Then he waves his hands as if to say, "OK, an analogy": "If you're trying to fuck a girl, but her mom's home, fuck her mom! You understand? You want to fuck the girl, but her mom's home? Fuck the mom. See?""

and

""I don't know how magnets work," I say, to put him at his ease.

"Nobody does, man!" he replies, relieved. "Magnetic force, man. What else is similar to that on this Earth? Nothing! Magnetic force is fascinating to us. It's right there, in your fucking face. You can feel them pulling. You can't see it. You can't smell it. You can't touch it. But there's a fucking force there. That's cool!""

Man that interview is full of gems...

I will give them the fact that they are creative and figured out how to carve out a good sized niche for themselves and that counts for something ;)

ICP not being all that intelligent as far as book smarts doesn't change anything about their songs or lyrics. I've know for a long time they're not the sharpest knives in the drawer. Years ago on Howard Stern, Violent J couldn't even figure out how old he was when he dropped out of school.

In comparison, I caught the interview with Eminem on 60 Minutes this past Sunday. He didn't come off as much more intelligent. :2 cents:

Anyone who likes ICP is a moron. It's literally that simple.

Thank you for your highly intellectual contribution to the discussion. The overwhelming abundance of evidence you supplied to back up your claim leaves me no choice but to change my stance on the issue. :disgust

:321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

I have yet to ever meet a "Juggalo" that I would ever want to have more then a 2 minute conversation with. Very odd creatures, and unfortunately rather dumb more often then not. I would like to see one of the ICP fans here post some lyrics that do have "meaning".

It's funny that you would paint all ICP fans as being dumb when you don't even know the difference between the words "then" and "than". That's not a spelling mistake, that's basic butchery of what I assume to be your native language.

it's this one.

yeah, most people that i talk to out in public and at bars are shocked that I am a fan of ICP because I dress nice and i'm very polite all the time.. It's like Harley riders.. you might be surprised at a biz professional when he says that every weekend he rides his harley but that doesn't make him stupid. I never judge a person on their musical tastes and i think it is stupid that people think all people that listen to this group or that group are morons.

9/10 they are downplaying it and 'preaching' against it.

Again, youre only hearing it how you want to...

Ill agree some of their fans are completely retarded. So are Guns n roses fans or fleetwood mac for christ sakes.

YOu can diss all you want but the fact that they have accomplished something so many havent and cant still remains.

Lyrics (Please note the video has the MTV/radio friendly lyrics):

Ticket please, thanks, walk through the door
Into the Halls Of Illusions, visit yours
And see what coulda and shoulda and woulda been real
But you had to fuck up tha whole deal
"Lets take a walk down the hallway
It's a long way it, it takes all day!"

And when you get to tha end, you'll find a chair
With straps and chains, we slap you in there
Lock you down tight so you can't move a thread
And pull your eyelids up over your head
Cuz you're about to witness an illusionary dream
It's just to bad it ain't what it seems

You walk in and see two kids on the floor
They playin Nintendo and he's got tha high score
And sittin behind them chillin in a chair
Is your wife, when ya look, oh, you ain't there
It's some other man in the hand in hand
Now she looks so happy you don't understand
See this is an illusion, it never came true
All because of you!

Back to reality and what you're about
Your wife can't smile cuz ya knocked her teeth out
And she can't see straight from gettin hit
Cuz you're a fat fuckin drunk piece of shit
But it's all good here, come have a beer
I'll break the top off it and shove it in ya ear
And you're death comes wicked painful and slow
At tha hands of MILENKO!

Great Milenko, wave your wand
Don't look now, your life is gone
This is all because of you
What you got yourself into
Great Milenko, wave your wand
Don't look now, your life is gone
This is all because of you
What you got yourself into

Look who's next it's Mr. Clark
The dirty old man from the trailer park
You got your ticket? Thanks take your coat off
And later on, why not, I'll rip your throat off

"Lets take a walk down the hallway
It's a long way it, it takes all day"

And when you get to the end you'll find a chair
You see all the blood, yeah your boy was just here
We get all different kind of people comin through
Richies, chickens and bitches just like you
In the Halls everybody gets a turn
To sit and witness your illusion before you burn

What do we have here, oh yeah, no way
It looks like your kids and they okay
Your daughter's chillin up in college top grade
And your son's a fuckin doctor, phat paid
They got families and kids and it's all good
They even coach little league in the neighborhood
Is this true have ya really seen tha holy ghost?
Nah, bitch, not even close!

Back to reality your son's on crack
And your daughter's got nut stains on her back
And they both fuckin smell like shit
And live in the gutter and sell crack to each other
When they were kids you'd beat em and leave em home
And even whip em with the cord on the telephone
And that reminds me man hey ya gotta call
Watch your step to Hell...it's a long fall!

Great Milenko, wave your wand
Don't look now, your life is gone
This is all because of you
What you got yourself into Great Milenko, wave your wand
Don't look now, your life is gone
This is all because of you
What you got yourself into

Ah, it's time to pack up and move to the next town
But we forgot Mr. Bigot, okay, dig it
We can't show you an illusion cuz we're all packed
But I'll still cut ya neck out, hows that?

Great Milenko, wave your wand
Don't look now, your life is gone
This is all because of you
What you got yourself into

Lyrics:

Does this excite you?
Think about it!
Does it not stagger the imagination?
No builder on earth can concieve any structure to compare to the mansions above.
Won't that be something wheny ou go to live in your own mansion?
There'll be no concern about paying for it, it's already taken care of.
There'll be no worry about veing moved out of it. It will be yours forever."

I got shot, ah!, the murder was heinous
The bullet went in my eyeball and out my anus
And I was hit, that was it, on the spot
Flash, I woke up in a parking lot
And I'm sittin in a '64 Reinkeys
With Shaggy Dope written on the car keys
I look around I can't believe that it's possible
I'm dead, and I made it to the carnival
I walk in, it's everything I dreamed of
Everybody and they momma got clown luv
Japanese, Lebanese, and Chinese,
Portuguese, and southwest ghetto g's. (woowoo)
Hangin' out with redneck truck drivers
Instead of always givin' each other piledrivers
I see my old homey, he died in a drag
Chillin with two bitches, "What up, Shaggs?"
And he passed me a blunt like a tree trunk
I tried to hit it, but couldn't even fuck with it
And to think, I always been afraid to die
But I ain't never goin back to wonder why.

We all gonna die, but I'm not gonna fry
Even though most never try
I'm not gonna let this pass me bye, no

I was born, first, they threw me in a shit pile
I dealt with it, and lived there for a while
I got dissed on, pissed on, and beat down
Mutilated, and tossed out a dead clown
Next thing ya know, I'm chillin' at the big top
Free money, and mad bitches non-stop
No water, it's Faygo on tap
I wash my hair, and my face, and my butt-crack with it
Cuz I can, cuz I'm phat paid
I got a five story funhouse with a maid
And she walks around with her titties hanging out
And when I cough, she come and dust my balls off (woowoo)
I'm headed up to the show, I'm gonna see
Jimi Hendrix, Selena, and Eazy E
Elvis tried to open up but got dissed off
We got pissed off, because he sounded like butt
There's no fights, it's a perfect match
Hillbillies in the crowd tryin' to cabbage patch
And to think, I've always been afraid to die
But I ain't never goin back to wonder why.

We all gonna die, but I'm not gonna fry
Even though most never try
I'm not gonna let this pass me bye, no

Did ya ever burn your finger on somethin? hey
Well picture this, your nuts burnin that way
And a roman candle stickin' in your butthole
That's where the greedy skank motherfuckers go
This is all hell now, we livin' in it
But this bullshit'll be over in a minute
Then it's off to the Faygos and neden hoes
New clothes, and patent leather for your toes (woo-woo)
And while you sit around cryin' for your dead friend
He's chillin' up there, paid, getting mad ends
He's probably there tryin to figure out why you're sad
He's on the beach gettin' fat, you got it bad
And for those who ain't down for the next man
Who rob from the poor, and snatch all ya can
And any chicken talkin' shit, lemme tell ya something
Hold a lighter to your balls, and you'll see what's coming

We all gonna die, but I'm not gonna fry
Even though most never try
I'm not gonna let this pass me bye, no
"Does this excite you?
Think about it!
Does it not stagger the imagination?
No builder on earth can concieve any structure to compare to the mansions above.
Won't that be something when you go to live in your own mansion?
There'll be no concern about paying for it,
it's already taken care of.
There'll be no worry about veing moved out of it.
It will be yours forever."

We all gonna die, but I'm not gonna fry
Even though most never try
I'm not gonna let this pass me bye, no

Lyrics:

Echoside not without my echoside

Imagine a place that exists beyond, a place that's seldom seen
A place that even the wickedest souls that burn have never been
There was a soul named Damian he was nothin heaven would save
Instead he was cast to the flames of hell to serve an eternal grave
Even in the after life things don't always go as planned
Satan's realm see's through this, it's hectic and over jammed
Damian earned his spot in hell right until his dying day
So the wagons took his sorry soul and taunted him all the way
They finally reached that resting place an endless pit of fire
But Damian had escaped through the back door of Satan's lair
Out the back entrance of hell but with nowhere else to hide
His time is just a tomb resting in the Echoside
Echoside Echoside not without my echoside (4x)
(Take me to the shadows on the other side of time)
(If there is a hell, then there must be a behind)
(Take me to the other end and bury me in black)
(Take me from the other side and never bring me back)
Damian ran as far as he could before his legs began decaying
There were many dead trees, a blood red sky, and headless children playing
A wicked man with a long black tongue saw Damian's legs were dead
So he layed on top of Dameon and then licked the back of his neck and said
Backwords talking saying: Fuck the Devil Fuck That Shit
We believe in life legit
If you diggin what we say
Why you throw your soul away?

Echoside Echoside not without my Echoside (4x)
(Take me to the shadows on the other side of time)
(If there is a hell, then there must be a behind)
(Take me from the other end and bury me in black)
(Take me from the other side and never bring me back)
(Backwards talking again saying) Fuck The Devil Fuck That Shit
We believe in life legit
If you diggin what we say
Why you throw your soul away?
Damian crawled for many hours in puddles of blood he lay
Torchured by everything he saw yet wishing along the way
His arms decayed and fell off his body as he rolled along the floor
Still trying not to look back, as if something else were in store
The clouds above were dark and hot yet dripping with blood rain
The ground infested with rodents that crawled throughout his veins
As Damian layed in Echoside, hells screams could still be heard
The blood red sky would flicker with the torchure that occured
Thinking that he had escaped every scream he heard he laughed
With the headless children pointing and urinating in his path
He finally saw some fortress gates so he quickly rolled into it
These red gates were the front doors of hell, and he never knew it, he he

Echoside Echoside not without my Echoside
(Take Me to the shadows on the other side of time)
(If there is a hell, then there must be a behind)
(Take me from the other end and bury me in black)
(Take me from the other side and never bring me back)
(repeats untill the song is over)

I used to bang a Jugalette. She got me hooked on ICP. I'm down with the clown

I'd hit it, face paint and all. :thumbsup

Great tits on her!

Agreed. They are brilliant marketers; a great influence on the way i market my own band, even.

Their music just isn't good enough to like in a serious way and the lyrics aren't funny enough to make it good comedy music, which makes it embarrassingly terrible.
