Historically, it has NOT gone well when I've mentioned that I'm a fan of ICP on this board. To the point of it being the primary association one would have with Wolfslice-- "that's the guy that likes ICP?" I've seen that more than once on this forum. But I've had a little booze, playign this grand theft auto 3 remaster on steam, and listening to some ICP, trying to hit those 2001 vibes. I stopped listening to them in 2002, they went soft. But their output from 1991-1997 was some of my favorite music at the time. Still a pretty direct influence to me today. |

that was well after I stopped listening and I think it was totally ripe for the mockery it got. But that said, a pretty earnest outing from them. |

Those GTA remasters get dissed bad on twitter for their bugginess and removal of fog which makes the map look small. I had a prejudice against ICP from listening to Eminem back in the day,i Will give them a chance later.... |

I don't think GTA 3 proper ever got a PC release (like Vice City and San Andreas) But yeah, basically the thing is: The mods people made were BETTER than what this remaster has put together. So essentially, you could play a cleaner version of Vice City or San Andreas (but again, not 3, it was never on PC). I'm happy to play it and get my achievements and work towards a 100% though. I wouldn't have bothered with the modded version myself. It hasn't crashed once in 12 hours of play either, which was my main concern. |

re icp, tho: once I heard drukQs and confield I never looked back. In 2000 my faves were pretty firmly ICP NiN Dr. Dre Pink Floyd Too $hort |

GTA 3 came out in the UK on PC. I remember getting it and having to upgrade my pc's gfx card. I used to edit the text file for the car specs to make the tank drive faster. Making the tank go fast helped to cross the bridge that's closed and get to the next level early. |

there is an article from, approximately, 2008, where this guy on a blog site went to a juggalo fest and it was... well, objective, honest. i tried to find it ten years ago and couldn't; good luck now. but yes... what i got out of that all was kind of, like: ICP is also... well, objective, honest. they know exactly how dumb what they're making is, and it was the plan all along. the fans are not exactly rocket scientists, but otherwise not bad. that my brain is just a darn good sampler. that once i bit into a chocolate chip cookie when i was really hungry, and, from the back, right of my brain, i got the "hooray!" noise from simcity 2000, from when you click lower taxes. that i did not ask for this; i was not playing samples around in my hed -- though - can. no, i just bit into the cookie, and that sample went off like fireworks and made me giggle and i can hum you the entirety of crazy frog and plastic jesus but i can't hum a single ICP song. my brain has two samples: [a jugglo is someone who dips his nuts in your soup; bloop, fucking magnets; how do they work?] and even these don't have much fidelity. i don't have the backing tracks at all. i guess it's kind of like "oh they're alright" then also "if they wrote me an email and asked me to write imaginary ICP lyrics they'd probably get at least a bit of usable material out of that" and they seem alright so hit me up. |

you are absolutely right. from wikipedia: When Grand Theft Auto III was released for Windows in May 2002 I never knew. San Andreas was my favorite of the bunch for the west coast hip hop vibe |

3 Dollar Bill was a cool album but when I hear the name Fred Durst I'm reminded, of all things, by a line from ICP that's a cool track and you shoudl check it out. |

ok epic, I'm gonna listen/watch whatever that link is on headphones and report back when I have a break from cooking (making a complete early dinner here) but you have to click that "Fred durst cookin bratwurst!" link and report back too. This is politics. |

i feel bad for tom green. really, i do. but i won't get into that. instead, let's celebrate that clip: i think this is his peak moment of genius. just, everything. the obnoxious keyboard playing, the sausages on pulleys, the i'm being creative, his dad yanking the wires and stomping tom's yamaha. this movie has another few moments, but none have stacked up to this. i haven't had the stomach to actually watch the whole fing. er |

alright. so i listened to the first few seconds and: "alright, this is not obviously horrid" and from there i went out on a walk and listened to it multiple times. and let's get this out of the way: this is a perfectly solid track. there is nothing horrible about it. you probably wouldn't even peg it as ICP if you weren't down with the clown. but then: everything this song is trying to do, i know other songs doing better elsewhere, that, in particular ~ ~ sorry this is better on every level then there are clever bits. the timestrech chatterbox man; but that'll get old fast like an adam sandler CD. then they're bashing sugar ray and i'm giggling, then they're referencing twisted sister and i'm thinking, "alright, i'm not that old" and that's kind of it. if you had nothing else in the 90s this was probably right solid. but i'm afraid we have more advanced technology now still though. perfectly decent. solid. better than most crap on the radio today, even though i know better on my hard drive. they're alright |

For the life of me I cannot think of one song they did. I’ve seen some interviewls on YouTube and they come across as a bunch of twats |

For the life of me I cannot think of one song they did. welcome to the club I’ve seen some interviewls on YouTube and they come across as a bunch of twats they're the sort of twats that look at themselves, laugh, say, "ahaha, we're a bunch of twats." then they write a song about it. i suppose i essentially grant the whole schema a pass for its unpretentious honesty. but it's not exactly going to be topping my last.fm |

what was the reason for the beef between eminem and icp? with absolutely no context? not googling at all to see what you mean? stabbing at wolves in the dark? the reason is comedy. it was just funny to both sides, whatever it was |

| |||||||||
|

yeah pretty fair assessment of the track. It's not even a known song really, just a one off they released with a comic book in the early 00's. Just that bratwurst line has really stuck with me, whenever I make brats or hear the name Fred Durst. As far as Tom Green and Freddy Got Fingered... I've rewatched moment from Redlettermedia several times. Cracks me the fuck up. |

Eminem and ICP (and Kid Rock) all came up at the same time in the Detroit rap scene. From what I understand (ancient internet lore/interviews etc) ICP got bigger first, and eminem sorta tried to use their success a few times-- come to my show "ICP might show up!" But then Eminem got huge, and I think ICP was jealous. So they made . Decent parody, nothing special. And Eminem responded that was about it, I think. Didn't go much beyond that. |

> Just that bratwurst line has really stuck with me, whenever I make brats or hear the name Fred Durst. ...and we've fallen through a wildebeast trap back into: me having two samples of ICP in my brain: "a juggalo is someone who dips his nuts in your soup; bloop" and "fucking magnets; how do they work?" and... shit, i almost had the line about Sugar Ray too, but i lost it somewhere over the last few hours. I did retain the bit about him sucking his drummer's dick ...but, like before, shit, i don't have what was going on with the backing tracks. with any of it and after the marbles have all fallen through the pegs and settled into binomial buckets, the secret of ICP is thus: phrases that just stick in your head. squarepusher was a pioneer in making things that were "catchy" but atonal, etc and ICP just makes some darn sticky phrases. that they probably have miles of them to accumulate. the faygo road to fred durst |

i'm still serious if they want to email me for a stab at lyrics, but there's more of a.. "hmm, hm" to it as i'm rocking about and stroking my chin. like, these are much more significant parameters |

now i'm googling my invented ICP lyric. like, actually, have they done this one yet? not as far as i can tell but "If You Swallow A Lego, Here Is When You'll Get It Back" would make a great Raffi song ~ |

what you're probably subconsciously channeling is something along the lines of [a jugglo] aint like nobody you ever met before he's eat monopoly and shit out connect 4 |

"juggalos" weren't a thing back when I was interested in them. They were just kinda B-Grade horror comedy rap. I think the rise of their subculture was where I personally kind of drew the line... and the music lost it's edge somewhere around 1999, though still a few cool tracks here and there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no i've lifted the "eat legos so you can build things with your poop" from somewhere, it just wasn't ICP. connect 4, however -- confirmation, really. that i've dialed this in perfectly. assuming i'm not revisiting a topic they've already covered. and seems like i haven't. sounds like i'm nailing it? |

i'm actually much more entranced by making up the rest of the raffi song in my head. sorry i have adhd |

Seen them a few times at an old Venue in Omaha the Ranch Bowl. They had hundreds of bottles of Fuego! The floors and the shirts were soaked with syrup water pop. Then they came out a few years ago as engelical (so?) bible thumpers, it was probably a hoax also. I mean for $15 wasn’t a bad show lol |

I've seen em live like 10 times, they put on my favorite show! It's really not even close, tho I've never seen aphex live. (I imagine it's just filled with confused ravers) ICP has always had mythology in their music from day 1, where they're like these purgatory clowns that send you to heaven or hell, depending on which you deserve. Their final "joker's card" spelled it out for people who hadn't figured it out, that they were "trying to send you to the light." They did one album for heaven (which sucked), and one album for hell (which was pretty bad ass, really dark raps). I will say they aren't at all evangelical in the traditional American sense (think megachurches, southern baptism). They're not even christian, I'd just call them non-denominational metaphorical bullshit. |

I like that they tried to send a positive message to the fans after noticing how they'd become an ersatz religion to so many grownup shaken babies and FAS kids. I'm sure a concert would be great if you don't mind getting sticky. |
