People often misunderstand this song. In it, Violent J curses virtually everything, high and low, absurd and plausible, saying "f*ck" 93 (or more) times. The point of the song comes in at the very final phrase, after mindless cursing of everything under the sun, then J brings it all together in the very final phrase of the song... "and f*ck Violent J". The point of the song being that you can curse everything in the world, but it the end it doesn't even matter.
True, but I feel it was a cop out to the whole Dark Carnival aspect. Not that I was a "believer", but I acknowledged it. This is me, speaking as a staunch atheist.

Compared to
''To see a World in a grain of sand,
And Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour. ''*
*An actual religiously themed message.
Personally, I don't know why people hate ICP so much. Musically I perfer them over a lot of other rappers. Lyrically they talk about dumb horror, midnless killings, necrophilia then turn around and rapp against drug use, wife beating and preach human harmony. Well in my opinion...it's not not that bad considering other rappers (that people find respectable) just talk about "cheddar", "bitches/hoez", "bling", "capp'n niggaz" and make up dumb words like "crunk" and "sho' shizzle". I mean really, sometimes I think people just hate ICP for the sake of hating them.

...or because their musical talents are questionable at best?
In other words they suck.
