Once agian Juggalos, Insane Clown Posse's own Violent J brings you some answers to your questions:

My Response to Kid Rock's Shit Talking:

There are people that understand ICP's entire concept and there are people that don’t. Some people love the clowny paint, the Faygo, the profane, violent raps and axe swinging stage act, and some people hate it. Some folks would rather see a band just sittin' there rockin' on stage and playing music. Those people say, "Fuck the theatrics and the extra shit, just gimme some good old rock and roll!" One of those people is Bob Ritchie. He has always hated Insane Clown Posse and everything we're about. Kid Rock has never understood ICP and what it is that we're about. He has always hated our music, our shows, our painted up fans and our whole aura. If you listen to his old albums, dissing ICP by name was a common thing for him to do. He has spent a lot of time trying to figure out what it is that people like about us. And believe me, we have always wondered the same thing about him. I've never liked Kid Rock's music either. He mixes rap with rock, but not the kind of rock I like. To me Kid Rock's blend of shitty, white kid rap with old southern rock shit sucks. I don’t know what he calls his music but I've always thought it was fuckin' shitty raps for rednecks to enjoy. Even back in the day I remember telling him, "Hell yeah, I love that one song you did" and I'd be really thinking "It sounds like fuckin' Johnny Cash rapping over Twisted Sister's music… SHITTY!" To this very day, I'm sorry Juggalos, I know many of you dig it, but I cant stand any of his shit. He raps about being such a bad-ass tough guy but all I've ever know him to be was a skinny, lil' junkie living off his daddy's loot with a big fuckin' mouth.

Us and Kid Rock have been at each others necks for a decade now. We never clicked back when we used to hang out and we don’t click now. We did shows together, songs together, hung out at each other's houses and all of that, but we never really liked each other and it was obvious. He is from a very small, boon-dock, farming, redneck, lil' town called Romeo in Michigan's boonies and he's always been proud of it. We, on the other hand, are from the city and we've always been ghetto, gangsta, hardcore, Southwest Detroit, wannabe thugs. However we both were making music rapping and so we had only that in common.

From what I've always heard, Kid Rocks parents were rich and that is how he was able to spend all of his years working on music and trying to find record deals instead of working on a carburetor in some garage. Our Producer and the 3rd member of ICP, Mike E. Clark, has been good friends with Kid Rock all along. Mike would always do his best to stay neutral between us. I met Kid Rock's brother a few times and I always thought that kid was mad cool. How his brother could be so fuckin' cool and level-headed while Kid Rock's such a egotistical bastard I'll never understand. Kid Rock, to me is the kind of guy that insults you all the time and don’t even really know he's doing it. That kid must have dissed me and Shaggy to our faces 1000 times. The only thing I regret about all that is that I never blew his grill out for it when I had the chance. The main reason I never did beat his ass though is because Mike and him were so close I never wanted to put Mike in any kind of crazy position. So I always let it slide.

After about 4 years of ICP outselling Kid Rock locally in Detroit in every faction (CD's, concerts, merch) suddenly Kid Rocks worst nightmare happened. BOOM! We hit the big time and went platinum. That must have eaten him alive. Kid Rock always viewed us as talentless idiots. Kid Rock plays lots of instruments and DJ's and is very talented at many things musical. As for me and Shaggy, we rap and that’s basically it. So for Kid Rock to have to sit back and watch us explode to the big time must have really sucked for him. It's all good though because he didn’t have to suffer that jealousy for long. The following year he blew up. The only difference is that he BLEW THE FUCK UP, 8 times larger than us as a matter of fact. This never really bothered us because Kid Rock as a person might be one of the biggest assholes I have ever known (at least he always was to us), but as for a musician paying his dues, Kid Rock has paid them all. He should have had his name in lights at the Grammys long ago. He has been working at it for many, many years and I'll admit that he has earned everything he's got.

As for the Bob Richie today, I can only imagine what a dick head he must be. Remembering him 5 years ago, before he was any kind of a star, his ego was already so big he couldn't fit his head through a bay door. Now he must really be an asshole. I haven't talked to him in years and I'm happy about that. But if I should happen to bump into him somewhere around town, I'll be more than happy to flex his jaw loose just for old times' sakes.

Now as for him dissing us every time somebody asks him what he thinks about us, so what. Who doesn't diss us? That just goes to show you how unoriginal he is. Fuck him.

The Situation with Blaze

Juggalos, I am sad to report this again… but just like I reported to you all before, Blaze is now officially off of Psychopathic Records. Alex Abbiss told me this morning that Blaze is off the label indefinitely. Blaze will continue on though. Blaze is the shit, so don’t think he'll just disappear on everybody. His new full-length album is coming out soon, its just not officially on Psychopathic Records. I know you all want a reason why and it's hard to give you one without sounding shoddy… but I will just tell you this.. Blaze is new at this business. It takes lots of patience and time to get off the ground. It all boils down to moolah. Blaze has sold lots of records but Psychopathic is only going to pay an artist for what they have sold… not what they are gonna sell, or what they should be selling, but only what they have sold. Selling enough records to make fat loot takes patience and time. Blaze has been working hard touring with Twiztid, busting ass and so on, but the bottom line is that his EP is not selling like a Twiztid album or an ICP album. He is a new artist and it all takes time. So wrestling with Psychopathic over money is not a good thing to do, especially right now because we ain't got none! The Bizzar Bizaar proceeds are going to the 3 charities so the only money any of our other artists are going to be paid is from what their own records have sold. We cannot afford to pay Blaze any big advances for his next big record at this time because were piss broke like homeless crackheads. That’s the bottom line. (Well, we ain't that broke, but you know what we mean). Fear not Blaze fans, word has it that Twiztid is going to put out the Blaze album on a new label that they might be starting up. We love Blaze here at Psychopathic and we don’t think, we KNOW that he will continue bringing you his blend of wicked shit. You can put that on your dead homie.

The Situation With Lavel aka Mr. Realist

Rumors are everywhere that Mr. Realist is signing with Psychopathic Records. I even announced him on stage in Chicago as new Psychopathic Records recording artist. It looks as if it is definitely going down. But I must inform you of something first… Lavel is not the same Lavel his family and friends have always known. Things are changing in his life quickly. There is nothing anybody can say or do to stop him at this point. He is walking towards the light at he's not turning back… So if he does come out with a CD on Psychopathc Records you might not even know its him. You see, all the touring with Twiztid and sharing a bus with them has opened Lavel's eyes. He now sees a new magical realm opening before him and he's quickly falling into it. He can now taste the magic that is the Dark Carnival. Hanging with Twiztid and ICP will do that ya know… Word has it that if he drops a CD on Psychopathic, his name will be changed, his style will be changed and it looks like he will be converted into a Juggalo Zombie just like the rest of us. Oh no! Wait a minute, that’s a good thing! Hell Yeah!
