Violent J's Weekly Freekly — 2004, April, 26th |
What the hell is up y'all... Everything is the shit and all, but man, it's hard up there as Lotus. I ain't even gonna lie to a ninja. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty easy show to do rappin' wise, because each rapper has only got one little verse to do per song. But fuck man, them Dark Lotus stage hook ups and mask are fuckin' hot as hell. Last night in Columbus, it was 350 degrees up on that stage. There was a sold out crowd of 1200 Juggalos packed into the Newport. 600 of them were holding torches. And we came out wearing our triple fat, goose feather down snow suits and mask, and fuckin' 22 pound boots, and gloves. Holy fuck. It was crazy. I was crying out loud under my mask. We all were, just not on the mic. And we ain't got no fuckin' Faygo up there coolin' us off as Dark Lotus either. All we got is a few water bottles on stage, but they were all boiling. None the less, that shit is still fresh as hell. Man, you ninjas really are a trip too. Really. I mean you ninjas learn the words to our songs faster than us. We barely even know the new shit yet and you all somehow cover us. We just can't figure y'all out. SIDE STORY Back to the Lotus Tour. The first night we schooled it. The second night we ruled it, and last night we ruled while schoolin' it. It was fuckin' dope. Lavel did a couple of the shows with us, and Layzie Bone's been fuckin' schoolin' it too. I ain't even had a chance to sit and kick it with Layzie yet, but it's only been 3 shows. And plus all our extra homies and peoples have been ridin' with us because we all knew we'd be coming right back to Detroit for today’s day off (Sunday). Tomorrow we head out for the long run startin' off in Cincinnati. Since I’m chillin', I figured I'd hook y'all up with a fresh Freekly. My bunk is the one with the nude Janet Jackson photos on the wall. Not them lame ass ones from the Super Bowl either. I'm talkin' about the ones my homie Rude Boy downloaded off the Internet and gave to me. Naked ass shots, neden shots and tittie shots of her sun-bathing nude. Man, holy fuck man. Everything is perfect except for her fake titties. See, it looks like maybe there startin' to sag a lil'. They look like 2 soft balls hangin' there. Nothing is staler than a fake ass tittie. If I had a fake ass dick, you think hoes would be tryna polish that? ANOTHER SHORT STORY Anybooty Feela is swingin' his axe again.. Alex News... Check This out... Hope we don't lose y'all after the PIT DROPS.... "A GREAT STORY" 101 What makes a story great? A lot of things, but most importantly, the ending. What fresh story do you know that has a lame fuck ending? None. See, you gotta realize that the FRESH RIDE is the story itself, but the ending is the revelation to it all. Every great story never becomes truly great until its ending is revealed. Then the mystery is solved. Then people can finally sit back and recognize the beauty of it all. They can finally see it all, and take it all in. It all ties together now. A great story should be an emotional roller coaster to its listeners. Throughout the story or movie, or book, it should take them on an emotional voyage through times of laughter, through times of sorrow, times of anger, love, and all that good shit. But most important is the fuckin' ending. That's gotta be the show stoppa! That's gotta close the book. That's gotta crack the smile or jerk the fuckin' tear. Well, hey... we believe we did it with the 6 Jokers Card's double ending. We figured... What is the ultamate ending? Death. You see, Death is the ending to all of our stories. As living people, here today, we all know that one day, death will be our ending. We all know that. Therefore of course the idea of ending a great story with death ain’t nothing new, but it's still fresh. NOW, we all know how it works. After DEATH, they say, you either go to HEAVEN or to HELL. The Wraith Shangri La was the Heaven part. That was the Heaven ending. Now is the alternate hell part. All of us are gonna eventually die, unfortunately, and when we do, some of us are gonna be going to Heaven and some of us will be going to hell. It's a private reality for each one of us, depending on who we are, and how we live our lives. Well that's how we end our Dark Carnival story. We point them out to you. Heaven and hell. Now comes the Wraith, Hell's Pit Era. August 31st, it begins. Right when it's hot as hell out. After that, it's all over. The whole Jokers Card legacy ends. But it will always be right there. The whole thing. For you to sit back and take in. Sit back and recognize. That's it. Its over and done. There will be no 7th fuckin' Joker's cards bitch, or no gay shit we suddenly make up to try and be fresh with it. Needless to say, the fact is that we feel that with The Wraith's Shangri La and Hells Pit albums combined, we delivered that fresh ending. We delivered the goods worth waitin' for. That ending piece. The show stoppa, the book closer, the tearjerker, the smile cracka, and all that good shit. Byatch. So take your thongs off and boogie. If your one of the many people who somehow thought that the Wraith Shangri La was it, and from now on, me and Shaggy were going to be doing Gospel music, I’m sorry. Quit gettin' all caught up in the moment like that. Because here comes hells pit, and that's gonna fuck around and hurt your feelings. Your mom ain’t gonna be proud of the Pit, in fact she's gonna fuckin' hate us again. The Pit is wicked. The Pit is like the Devil's turn at bat. You gotta know this. See, hopefully after it's all said and done, starting on August 31st, (or earlier for downloading early faggots that cant wait like pussy asses) it will all finally start to make sense. It's all just a story. You choose which ending you'll have. After the Pit drops, stop step back and take it all in. Because it's all "A Great Story". Each Jokers card is somebody's favorite. That's all that really matters. Our voices, and our styles and sounds may have changed a lot over the years but we've always tried to keep it Dark Carnival and wicked. The story ends with Hell's Pit. But after that comes out, stop, look at them all, and see the whole thing and realize they'll all always be there. I don’t want Hells Pit to come out and have everybody thinking were fuckin' Satanic or something either. Some people get caught up in the Fresh Ride of the story. After Shangri La was released, a lot of people got saucy in the eyeballs on us. Emotional. So listen... We don’t want anybody taking Hells Pit the wrong fuckin' way. Some people thought we got all holy, and I don’t want nobody thinkin' we're all unholy after Hells Pit drops. Just realize it's all just a story. This story, our Dark Carnival story much like the story of our lives, has two alternate, ultimate endings. You know what they are. And they'll both be there forever waitin on that ass. Lets talk about the Pit This shit is on some other. Backwards clocks and devils tales. This shit is really not that funny at all either. There's not much humor. It's a lot of stories and tales of sick murderers and killers and what might be going on in their minds, as told by us. The record moves fast as hell, then slow, then fast, then slow. No special guest nowhere. Just me and Shaggy. Even on the hooks. It's wicked and depressing next to Shangri La. But that’s the freshness of it. That's the art of it all. Hells Pit should be sickening. Were talking about hell. The Wraith Shangri La was the peak of where ICP has gone to this day, the peak of what we've become both as people and as musicians. Since day one, when we dropped that 1st Jokers Card, look at all that has happened to us... Look at how good the world had been to us, look at the people like Twiztid and Killa and Blaze that roll with us, the fam we got, look at all the love we got, the crew we got. Look the Juggalo world and Family luv and all that... but now it's right back to day one. That's the state of mind we went into making this record. When we were pissed off, broke and lonely. THIS ONE IS SICK. The Wraith Hell's Pit Album gives you the opposite feeling that Shangri La gives you. This one makes you angry and sad. You never celebrate Hell's Pit. There's no partying on this record. There's no fuckin' homies, or diamonds, no ticker tape parades. This one is the suffering half. The dark ending. The Pain. We don't want Hell's Pit to bring anybody down. If it will bring you down, just look the other way........... Baby bitch. Well I gotta go. Sorry it took so long to get another freekly to ya, but man. We been so locked down in studio it's been fuckin' frightening. Come on out and check out The Lotus Tour. You know, come see ya boys. Peace. I'm out like Janet's naked ass. |
