Last week I left you Bloglin readers with the Nightline Episode featuring an interview with Insane Clown Posse. The feature on Nightline ran about 10 minutes long and maybe 4 minutes of that was actual interview questions with Shaggy and Violent J. Well it turns out that ICP had a cameraman of their own filming the whole interview which runs some 30+ minutes long.
After watching this I’m pretty impressed on how Violent J handled himself on Martin Basheer’s questions and just his general demeanor during the interview as a whole. I’ll leave you with this video though so you can make your own call on how much Nightline skewed the feature for their own means. You can now go back to stabbing people and doing gang related shit in the name of Juggalos… Woop! Woop!
Juggalos make headline again on national television, this time on ABC’s Nightline. The topic up for discussion was involving Juggalos and the association of the music linked to the recent rash of brutal crimes and murders across the country where all of the suspects called themselves “Juggalos”. This time ABC’s Martin Bashir sat down with Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope to get to the bottom of things.
I personally think this was a pretty shitty interview and was heavily edited in favor of the network’s angle. It’s really the same report every news station runs on ICPs and Juggalos ever since the whole culture hit the mainstream about 13 years ago. But I didn’t care because of all the HD concert and backstage footage that ABC aired along with the interview.
Violent J even chimed in a little bit about his thoughts on the interview after airing via his twitter.
10 million a year? What the fuck? Who the fuck makes 10 million a year? In my experiance 90% of the media is fake bullshit. Its scarry. 10 million a year? Who the fuck makes 10 million a year? Martin Bashier maybe. Not us.
I’ll just leave you with the Nightline episode for now. I’ll be back soon with more news from the underground and even a juggalo spin on a favorite Bloglin segment. So keep your eyes peeled and your faygo chilled ’til then…
I’m sure I’m late on this guy, but with all the Juggalo obsession that goes on over here on the Bloglin, I figured someone might appreciate this. Borgore’s a new “hot” producer in the Dubstep scene. His forthcoming EP entitled Borgore “Ruined Dubstep” is due out by the end of the month. With tracks like Nympho, it’s easy to see how his shock value is gaining him attention.
Kinda like what ICP did to Wigger rock right? Maybe? Prolly not.
What’s good mishkalos, juggalos, juggahaters, and everything in between? ‘Tis I Kev Buc, coming at you with some interesting tid bits for your tits from this past week concerning all things in the realm of horrorcore and juggalos.
First up is a quick review of the demented duo themselves Twiztid’s Slaughterhouse Tour which kicked off February 18th in Buffalo, New York. I hit up two dates on this tour including one the following week in Clifton Park, New York. I felt this tour was one of the best stage shows I’ve seen them put on ever. I myself have seen Twiztid in concert dozens and dozens of times, dating back to when they first formed and were part of the Juggalo Funhouse Tour with ICP back in 1998. They had a lot of energy, a good stage set, and a really good variety of classics both old and new. The show opened with an up and coming rapper from the Bay Area, California known as Kung Fu Vampire. KFV has never worked with Psychopathic Records before, but was well received at the shows I attended. His sound is pretty unique and he has a full band. I thought the show was very good from top to bottom, but the only problem to me was well… the juggalos.
I’ve noticed especially in the more recent years that attendance to Psychopathic events seems like it’s been over run by all the little mutant Hot Topic kids you see running around the mall. I guess it is what it is, but these kids were clueless when older tracks came over the speakers which dumbfounded me. I guess that all comes full circle though because I’m sure the same people looked at my generation back in ‘98 in the same light. If I were you though, I would definitely check out this tour because it’s fucking solid. The NYC stop even got a POSITIVE write up in the New York Times! That in itself is pretty rare for anything Psychopathic puts out to be put over well by the mainstream media. The tour dates are located in the below promo video for said tour. So go return some Faygo cans or some shit and get your ass to the fucking Slaughterhouse!
Next on the agenda; is to touch on the topic a little of horrorcore related murders. This past Monday NBC aired on episode of the popular show Law & Order titled “Steel-Eyed Death”. This episode was based upon a horrorcore/juggalo related murder that happened last fall commited by Richard “Syko Sam” McCroskey. In this episode they portrayed juggalos and horrorcore fans in a VERY negative light. This fan base already is the butt of many jokes and gets looked on poorly in society, but now it’s even put out there for tons of people whom probably never heard of juggalos and will associate all of us as murderers. Well, artists of the genre as PISSED and speaking out against this. Once again, The New York Times spoke out on this particular topic.
The article has links to various myspace pages, twitters, and explains the whole “Syko Sam” murder gimmick, so give that a read to catch up to speed here. I personally don’t have too much of an opinion on this matter besides that it’s pretty shitty, but I’m so used to it anyways. I’d like to see some comments or feedback on this episode, so leave those below.
That’s about it for this jugga-update. Soooooo until next time kiddies, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite artists Mars speaking on the negativity surrounding the culture on the news right after the “Syko Sam” murders. Woop x 2…
Hello, hello ninjas! I’m Kev Buc and the Bloglin asked me to come on board as their resident man with Faygo on his tongue and his finger on the Dark Carnival’s pulse. That’s right, I’m here to give you what you all want…regular Juggalo content from an actual Juggalo. I’m sure some of you Blogin-alos are rolling your eyes and things of that nature, but I will try to keep it entertaining for everybody.
So what better way to start things off than episode one of Hatchet Happenings. 12 minutes of Psychopathic records news so that you, me, and all Juggalos can stay down with the clown. The video is hosted DJ Clay and Sweet Sugar Slam along with WFUCKOFF radio personality DJ Fillin’ and is done in the now familiar (thanks to SNL) format of the 2009 Gathering infomercial.
In this Juggalo’s opinion the video is pretty embarrassing and hard to watch. It’s really far cry from the old Weekly Freekly Weekly (clip above) news videos that Violent Jay and Shaggy used to host.
And while Hatchet Happenings is some actual Juggalo News, I thought it’d be funny to compare and contrast it against this recent spoof video from comedian Scott Gairdner called the Juggalo News Network. I’ll leave you now with these videos to whet your whistles. Enjoy, woop woop and all that…more on the way!
Who say’s kids have a fear of clowns? Not when you grow up all twizted and shit!! Eastside Ninja What!? Woop Woop! Big thanks for Skull Swap for sleuthing this over at Video Gum.
***Addendum***
No sooner than I click publish on this post, does our pal Justin from Mondo Tees gift us with this nice little addition to the topic of Baby Juggalos:
I used to live in Lawrence, KS and lived with a guy that worked at the Pizza Hut on Mass St. One day, he came home super pissed. He told me this Juggalo dude that he worked with got fired. I kinda chuckled because I thought it was funny that a Juggalo couldn’t make a pizza right, but my friend kept going about this guy. The craziest story was how this dude had a kid and ACTUALLY NAMED HIM JUGGALO. His name is Elijah-Juggalo. I told this story for YEARS and nobody would believe me until last August I did some googling and found him on Myspace. Below is my email with my friend who confirms that it is the dude he worked with.
This child’s full legal name is Aries Elijah-Juggalo West. Don’t believe me? BAM!! Check it out for yourself.
Yes I know that Hatchetman onesie is photoshopped, but still? How many of you could say you been down with tha clown since you came outta ya mom’s vaginal gown!?
We’ve been all about the collision between Juggalo and Hipster culture for a long while now. We reported on Derek Erdman’s excursion into the Dark Carnival way back in August of last year. I really think we’re witnessing a strong and unprecedented shift into Juggalo pandemonium and I predict that 2010’s Gathering of the Juggalos will see the largest influx of curious non-Juggalos into the Dark Carnival than they’re probably ready for.
I think that a lot of this has to do with the fact that those of us who grew up with seedlings of the movement in the mid-late 90s are just now starting to realize just how large and powerful it has grown since we stopped paying attention. Case in point? MTV has starting taking an interest in the growing fascination with Juggalos. When’s the last time they cared about being down with the Clown? The late 90s??
The MTV blog just posted a short read with Derek Erdman asking him to compare his experiences in attending both The Gathering of the Juggalos and Pitchfork’s yearly music festival in Chicago (AKA The Gathering of the Hipsters). Maybe Pitchfork will even stop taking themselves so seriously and give everyone what they want at this years festival, ICP as the headliners! Or maybe MTV will do a Jersey Shore type show with 8 Juggalos in a House (fingers crossed). Who knows? Hipsters are thirsty for some Faygo!! I just hope it doesn’t lead to a whole Juggalo vs. Maggot type feud… Juggalos and Hipsters must unite. One love woop woop!
Thanks to The Tripwire for the heads up on the MTV post.
