You know, like Big Money Hustlas, which is fantastic.
So you like them because they are the right kind of goofy. Yeah, the atmosphere of their songs from the 90s or even the 00s haven't been replicated. They are definitely unique and something you can't get anywhere else. But for me, they still say goofy **** that turns me off of it. I also feel that way about older Twiztid. Like I've said, Freek Show used to be one of my favorite albums but I have a hard time revisiting it because of how cringey the lyrics are. I'm not a fun guy. I hate ****. I am the sad sack that jams Twiztid. They are a level above just about all artists in the genre. Hell, so are ICP when they get songs that I can jam too. I'd take either of them over a Scum.

You know what else sucks about both? Juggalos. I hate most people but I especially hate most juggalos. I mean, I treat each individual as individuals regardless of what stupid identity label you choose (unless you're a skinhead or something) but there is just a huge amount of annoying ****ing juggalos. It's like, the feud happened, and all the meth head retards went to ICP while all they goofy white boys with vapes and fidget spinners and 420 fitted caps went to Twiztid and I hate them all. For the record, I don't vape, smoke pot and only used a fidget spinner once for it's intended use; too keep my hand busy while rolling hard on ecstacy.

Lucem, you're right, it's silly to talk about what I would or wouldn't do IRL. Glad you brought it up. Maybe you should write an instrumental about it. I recommend a piano paired with a clarinet. With ambient sounds of you hanging from your shower curtain you ****ing failure.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.
