They are a gimmick. How can you take them seriously? I mean the only reason I listened to it when I was younger is because it was funny (at the time anyway.). Rapping about dead bodies, necrophilia, Stabbing people, drinking faygo, nailing fat chicks, etc. is not a mature thought out way of presenting any message. The only guy who had any talent musically was Mike E. Clark, and it wasn't like he was all that great.
You can like what you want. I am just saying what is true. Also you expected this so why get upset when it happens?
Then you don't actually know their very mature, well thought out message that was presented in a unique and creative way. Listen to the album The Wraith: Shangi La.
Just what is their message. I've only heard one song from them. However, I remember seeing an interview of one of the members on the news and he was signing autographs and he asked what one kid's age was. He replied 12. He was then asked if his balls had dropped. The kid didn't know what he was talking about. The interview started out like this:
Interviewer: Why do you think it was a good idea to ask that young boy about his testicles?
ICP guy: Well... uhh... *nervous chuckle*... I didn't even know what it meant til I was older...
Interviewer: So why did you think he should know what it meant?
Wasn't that the album where they couldn't figure out how to tie up the concept, so they copped out and said "Yeah we're religious.", causing all their fans to split?
Lol, if that is literally what wiki says, it's spewing more of its bullshit. Wiki is not reliable. If you really look hard at their music, then you'll see the religous message was always there.
They paint their faces, they spread a religious message, their lyrics are abysmal.
JesusIsAlive spreads a religious message, it doesn't make the lad an intelligent and righteous influence, he's the same as ICP; a prick that's given too much attention.

I didn't see it. Also, where the hell did you get that "interview". The web does shit like that all the time, make up fake stories about ICP.
I am WAY too lazy to post all of the ways the message is presented, but I have a great link that will tell you all about it, it's by some guy who's not even a Juggalo, but knows alot about ICP, the title of the articale thing is called "An Intelligent Look at the Insane Clown Posse".
And Chills, JIA is a bible pushing ass hole, I hardly see a similarity.
Anyway, here is the link(It's a long article just so you know):
It wasn't an article. The interview was on my television on the local news. I think ICP was touring in my town and they decided to have a chat with one of the members. In fact, we got to see the clip of the Insane Clown expressing his interest in the testicular development of a young boy.
I skimmed the article, because I'm waaaayyyy too lazy to read all of that. All I got from it was that they were wiggers.
