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?

ICP is funny, colorful, brilliantly entertaining, and surprisingly very well produced. I actually consider them a litmus test band. If you can't admit ICP is fun take the ****ing stick out of your ass. I suspect people who claim not to like them are more concerned with being associated with their admittedly immature fanbase than their honest aesthetic concerns. I love Juggalos and think there really is a difference a Juggalo and a Juffalo. I love that Down with the Clown Till I'm Dead in the Ground. Right up there with the Kiss Army and Dead Heads. What a fanbase! Remember those kids whose baby died and they had a big Juggalo funeral? Wow. It's like Dimebag in the Kiss Koffin! YouTube clips Tia Tequila being harangued at the gathering. lol. I like her, too. She thought her tits would win the crowd over but these weren't no Hell's Angels! But the bands on the label... I have to try to go that far. I guess ICP did what needed doing. I don't need a bunch of KISS clones either.
