1. The Ice Cube connection is really with their first album, which sounds like a charmingly cut-rate
Amerikkka's Most Wanted. Obviously they can't impersonate Ice Cube well enough for it to be
totally apparent, but they were definitely on dat Ice dick. Even the production was taking as much influence from Cube as they could with as little money as they had.
2. It's not that I think they're better than Ice Cube or Esham as MC's, but I just like listening to ICP more. Like I said, they had a unique approach and personality that makes them one of the most unique groups in hip hop, and even if I can't relate to ICP's mentality or message they somehow still click with me to a far greater degree than Cube or Esham.
3. I had no idea you liked ICP. Either I missed that post or you were drunk and thought you'd made a post you didn't. What are your thoughts on ICP, juggalos, and Psychopathic in general?
