Used to hate them and their fans a lot. In recent years I've softened my stance on them a bit. Still don't listen to them nor do I think their music is good, but I don't outright hate them as people anymore.
They’re pretty great if you’re in the mood for funny horrorcore. The Great Milenko, Boogie Woogie Wu, and The Neden Game are some of my favorites. The Great Milenko album is actually pretty great as a whole, I’d say it’s their strongest work.
A really obscure feature, but good song, Lady in the Jaguar by Boondox ft. ICP
Hot Take: Back in the day J was one of the best storytellers in hip-hop. He's a genius of setting tone with word choice and little changes of inflection during raps. Superb at portraying the emotion of the song and the narrator through his voice.
It's almost as if he's voice acting and rapping at the same time.
Nowadays he's lost some of that magic, but I'm still a fan.
Actually I 100% agree and have said this for years. I'm not really a fan anymore and haven't listened to them in years but whether it be a verse or a whole song his story telling was top notch. Wizard of the Hood (album) has zero skips if I'm in the mood for it.
They aren't exceptionally talented, but I would say they're better than most people give them credit for. They were a decent stepping stone to other horrorcore artists with vastly more talent, but that's about as far as it went for me. Only song that springs to mind that I truly thought was decent was "Bowling Balls".
3 Headed Monster with Violet J, Esham and Ouji Mac is probably one of my favorite collab albums.
ICP is so/so on their own, but when they have other artists on tracks the quality is much better.
I thought their 90’s shit was decent. They never had a complicated rhyme scheme but in terms of skill they were on par with plenty of other 90’s rappers tbf. They also had some genuinely catchy and funny songs, plus did the horror stuff pretty well too.
I think ‘Prom Queen’ and ‘The Loons’ are 2 songs in particular where they did the horror/storytelling side of things really well. I’d also recommend the song ‘Pass Me By’. I think that’s the best song they ever made personally.
I have no opinion on ICP. Not a day goes by where I think about them. I have only known them as a punchline, and from what I've seen and heard, I still know them to only be a punchline.
Buncha fuckin clowns
ICP is ass. Savvy in business though, they picked an extremely stupid/alienated fan base and continue to milk them for everything they've got.
Str8 fax
This is the correct analysis
I respect the hustle.
100%
Ha hahaha hahahahahaha!
Oh so you memorized the lyrics?
Wasn't a fan before I grew out of horrorcore and now I'm even farther away from it.
Scott is that you
This is hilarious. The only juggalos I've ever met were named Jeremy and Scott.
I have a friend who is an icp fan and his name is Scott lol
I have a group of Juggalo homies and I'm pretty sure like 3 of them are named Scott.
Fucking magnets, how do they work ?
They were fun when I was 17.

They're not for me. Don't get me wrong, I love me some horrorcore, just not their style of horrorcore.
Never liked them. And juggalos are a step below hippies.
As someone who’s been to many phish shows, a group of people being below hippies is frightening
Do you even gather bro?
Eh. i fw da whoop whoop !! shit doe lol
sometimes i like to listen to rap with carnival related subject matter, and that's okay.
The only thing I know about them is from that one episode of Workaholics, and that boogie woogie woo song which is pretty alright.
Never been for me and the people that rocked with them that I knew were always goofy
Weirdo rap/clowns
their music sucks
They suck donkey balls
No

I remember a friend of mine loaning me Riddle Box on tape. I liked the first four or five albums.

Not a fan. They have a few interesting songs and I like some of the artists that play at their gatherings, but they have a watered down discography.
I respect what they did in the wrestling business, but they’re not legitimate MC’s to me.
