Something about life is that you pick up on things, and when I was young I heard something known as the insane clown posse. My brother had casette tape of Icp, and between that and esham I was hooked into the music and culture and fantasy.
It wasn’t like anything I had heard before, it was hypnotic and different. It was rap, but it was something more, I got interested in it. And it evolved.
Me and my friend Michael we would write our raps and would recite verses through raps on paper with beats. He went a lot further with it, then I did. I was never comfortable with rap because of the tendencies and lifestyle that it entangles. It perverts the imagination and corrupts your will and desires.
Throughout all of this he had even spoken to members of LU Cipha, of which two men… one whom is now dead, by suicide. See that? its that same pitiful, logic of hate and self denial. Sianide, the person whom I am speaking of, killed himself. He was talented and gifted, he had a good vocal delivery and did great work in the music that he made.
This music does a good deal of wrong in a person, if while under the influence of chemicals or drugs. Because it motivates violence and hate. And it needs to be stopped and not tolerated.
Anyways I was impressed with this music. Especially dog beats. This is where you will learn of the inner city posse or the insane clown posse. Throughout all this you will learn of many other individuals. See I would meet other people at school and in life, and they would associate with it. It was an identity, to them. Much like Christianity.
See this music does do a lot to capture the reality and life of degradation and depravity. But it does a good part in encouraging bad behavior. People are not easily to address or deal with, its not always easy to make the best decision possible.
Its a fascination and sick interest, because you get a case of the eff its. There nothing worse than giving up! that is the point where change must happen.
So yes I did listen to ICP and was into the music. But I was more into Esham and Natas, I don’t know between the variety of those performers. I got a birds eye view of life and depravity, like you cannot imagine. And meanwhile I myself was suffering in psychiatric hospitals, jails, homelessness and trying to tackle life with job and child support.
After the riddle box, I had all but stopped listening to Icp. Once the great Milenko came out, I was steering my interest elsewhere
I appreciate and like ICP especially how they handled themselves on the howard stern show, and their narration and engagement with strangle mania. Those two have a good dynamic and make a lot of fun, the same kind of fun I remember with my own two brothers. Between the dynamic of personalities with ICP, Esham and even howard steren, I could see and feel a brotherhood that was beyond race, there was an equal understanding.
My interest in icp started to dissipate around the time that twiztid and oije mac entered into the formula. New minds and ideas, that compromises the formula and relationship. Whatever the beef or disagreement between twizitd and icp its none of my business. I respectfully look at both artists and musicians and creators of art.
I do have an issue with the ideas and presentation, but that is the beauty of life, nobody is forcing you to watch or listen to anything. But it does, influence and inspire people in different ways.
I was never a fan of eminem, and never will be a fan of eminem. He did nothing, but become a symbol and property of the corporate. And he will forever be a slave to it.
I did edit this, because honestly, its up the viewer and read themselves to decide what is right and wrong. I cannot be a spectator of or navigator of good or bad behavior. But I do know the bible addresses it and does it very well. The psychology and the habits and design of humans and everything is all in the bible.
Yes there are sick people who use it to their advantage, but its never really an advantage, because we all know about the facts of life. And the bible is just the basic instructions before leaving earth. The next chapter of our lives is death.
