they certainly have nothing on insane clown posse's musical innovation and oft-ignored artistic integrity

lawl at (hopeful) sarcasm

Hey, the little one could perform a pretty good moonsault!

ICP have integrity. They earned two platinum and three gold albums, and sold out many tours without having to alter their music or lyrics for commercial appeal. THAT is integrity. They have a record label where they're giving unsigned artists a chance to have their music heard. THAT is integrity.

They love music, and they're damned original, too. ICP doesn't sound like any hip-hop group out there. I'd actually consider ICP to be like Frank Zappa in some respects - both released albums with social commentary and satire, comedy and sarcasm. humor, originality, and deviation from the norm.

Dislike them as you may, but I'd rather listen to Primus than 50 Cent.This Message Edited On 08.25.08

I just listened to some ICP to find something acceptable, sorry but I couldn't. I don't even like hip hop, but hey, at least I tried to look beyond their unappealing (to me) lyrics. My conclusion is the following: I CAN'T STAND THEM!

I guess the only hip hop album I can enjoy is Cypress Hill's self-titled.

They don't have to change their lyrics or music because of the fanbase that follows them. So they've gone platinum...why change what works? "Dumbing down" (Although I think it's already retarded) their music, would ultimately hurt their success. There's no integrity in what they do. My opinion.This Message Edited On 08.26.08

I think that you have absolutely no sense of humor, or else you would realize that they are largely COMEDY MUSIC, with some deeper tracks that do not contain any of the "retarded" lyrics of their comedy raps.

Integrity is when an artist is able to do what THEY want to do, not being forced to do something that makes them likable to the crowd that likes Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears because of how attractive the singers are, not because of the bland pop music.This Message Edited On 08.26.08

I'm aware that it's comedy music, I just don't think its clever or good by any means. From the tracks I've heard, it doesn't take any talent or real creativity to do what they do. It's the same as pretty much an "shock" genre.

And the spectrum of music is much more broad than just people who listen to ICP and people who listen to simple pop music.

If you want good comedy music, why don't you check out Tenacious D (for the immature stuff) or Flight Of The Concords (specifically the Concords, as they are astounding).

Unless intelligent and witty comedic lyricism isn't your thing...

Insane Clown Posse's albums are intelligent.

And they're not just "shock" music.

Neither of you sound like you really listened to anything the group put out.

I don't understand giving 1-star votes to albums you've never heard.This Message Edited On 08.27.08

I only rate albums that I have actually listened to and given a chance first of all, I have listened to most of the songs off of this unfortunately due to friends with bad taste and it deserves the lowest rating it can get...and how dare you say this tripe is intelligent

Eh, yo, bitch, come over here and let me kick it to ya

Tried to stick my nuts in ya then I never knew ya

Cuz your ugly and you know you can't hide that

So what you look like a chicken with a hunchback

That's a JOKE. A funny one. Not nearly as funny as your idea that Tenacious D and Flight Of The Concords are more intelligent than that track, though...ha ha.

Secondly, MOST does not equal the entire album. You haven't heard "The Dead One" or "Southwest Song"?

Don't make me laugh.

"I haven't heard this album, so I'm going to vote based on a comedy track that my beer buddy put on a mixtape!"

There's nothing subjective about ICP. You put the record on, you listen, you say "Ehh,
it's a piece of shit" and that's it.This Message Edited On 08.27.08

If you think that is intelligent and or funny then I feel sorry for you

Secondly, out of 16 songs I think 13 is quite enough to base a rating off of, and I highly doubt that if even those other three songs were the greatest cuts ever recorded (which I doubt) it would even make it a 1.5

that statement should read as following

"I have heard 90% of this album so I'm going to make a well thought out and fair rating based on my personal opinions on humor and artistic integrity/talent based on most of an album that my idiot pothead friend (with whom I no longer speak) decided it would be fun to listen to one day"

You don't have a clue about what you're talking about. You're out of your element.This Message Edited On 08.27.08

I feel sorry for you for being so close-minded.

^ Typical troll ICP defense.

Oh, please. I'm a PRIMUS troll.

Go listen to Lady Sovereign and My Chemical Romance.This Message Edited On 08.27.08

I think the fact that I actually tried to listen to it for 13 songs trumps the close-minded argument. I'm not trying to change your mind, if you like this album, more power to you, really, I'm glad you enjoy it. Personally I do not find their humor funny, I do not think they are decent lyricists, I do not find any of the beats or music remotely interesting, and I think all they are is a giant gimmick. That's my opinion, and I gave it. You gave yours. Neither of us is right, in fact no argument over music has a right and wrong because its art and art is objective. I am done with this argument and good day sir.

I'll have much more fun doing that than I would being stuck with this drivel.
And that's why I am superior.
