I'm not sure what album it's from, or will be on, because it's on nothing I've got on any CD or downloaded song that I have. But anyway, it's supposed to be coming on again tonight at Midnight CST! That's in less than an hour, so if you turn it to MTV, check it out! It's original air date is July 3rd, and it's MTV, so you know they'll play it like 800 more times. Be on the lookout for it!

Well that's gonna wrap it up for me tonight! I've still got quite a bit of my 4th to live it up, so I'm gonna get back to it! But before I do, for those who haven't seen this video yet, you really have to...especially if you're in PC Tech Support:
Hey what's up everyone? It's been a while since I was around to post any news but with Scottie at the Dark Lotus show tonight and Pope still MIA, I've come from working behind-the-scenes to hit you up with a quick news update so check out what I have for you tonight!:
2 Main Stage Acts Revealed For Gathering!: In Scottie D's last post about the gathering, he split some wigs with news about the Three-6 Mafia performing at this years gathering. Well hold on to what's left of your wig because JuggaloGathering.com have now announced two more acts that will be more performing on the main stage at this years gathering, Afroman and Andrew W.K.! Check out the official word below:
Professional Partiers July 02, 2008
You already the know the Gathering is the best place in the world for Juggalos to get live, chill out, and freak shit. It's all about flavor, and it's one big party. The 2008 party only gets bigger, better, and more bangin with these next two Main Stage performers:
Afroman
When you hear the name Afroman, you probably think of all the shit that happened "Because I got High." Or maybe all the gettin high has "relaxed" those particular brain cells, so listen up: This ninja is all about good times, and ain't that the Gathering? Like many Juggalos, he started rappin in high school, but homie earned his cred in the streets of South central. He hustled for real, until that notorious track (off his debut album) hit the top 10 in over 12 countries! (It hit #420 with its real fans). He cites two of his influences as Too Short and 2 Live Crew, who both influenced ICP, and also freaked it at past Gatherings! We know Afroman will soon take his place as a legendary Gathering vet, so don't miss his set in 2008!
Andrew W.K.
Do you like getting bloody? Well, Andrew W.K. sure does. Every time we've seen this ninja perform, he beats the shit out of himself until he's literally bleeding, usually from parts of his face! But that's who he is, never holding back, always looking for the ultimate musical experience. And he sure likes to party. So it's only natural that he's coming to party with the Juggalos, because this is the biggest party of the year! Plus he knows ICP from his Michigan roots, and tells us he's honored to be playing for Juggalos at the Gathering! Andrew W.K. tore it up with ICP in Backyard Wrestling 2, and now he'll be tearing it up with ICP, the Psychopathic family, and all the Juggalos at Hatchet Landings!
There you go ninjas, a perfect combination to get bloody high! Unfortnately I won't be able to make it this year to the gathering but if your fortunate enough to make it, be sure to also check out the GOTJ F.A.Q. section by clicking here and the GOTJ MySpace Message Board by clicking here!

Dark Lotus Ticket For Sale!: A juggalette that goes by the name Miss Sideshow hit us up because she has a Dark Lotus ticket for sale for the San Francisco show on July 11th. She purchased the ticket for over $30 (after expenses from TicketMaster) but is now going to the Dark Lotus show in Reno instead so she is selling the ticket for just $15 which is a pretty nice deal. If anyone is interested in purchasing this ticket, then you can drop her a line @ claudiasashes@hotmail.com but be quick ninjas because the show is just over a week away! Well that's all from me for now fam, Peace & MCL!
"If God made the world in 7 days, what's he been doing since then?"
What up y'all? This has gotta be some kind of recent record for me. But hey, I'm goin' to see the Dark Lotus show tomorrow so I wanted to make sure to knock out a post for your asses tonight! This will be a short post, but don't let that take away from it. Let's get started with some:
Three-6 Mafia @ The Gathering!: Hooooooly shit! You heard right! In just about 5 weeks, the Three-6 Mafia will be performing at the Gathering of the Juggalos! Here's what JuggaloGathering.com had to say about it:
You ready for some big, devastating news? Are you ready to learn how to fly? Here's what you do: stand on your heads, then read the following announcement. Cuz when you see who we just added to the Main Stage this year, your wig will flip so hard, your ass is flying skyward! We are proud to present:
Three Six Mafia It may be Hard Out Here for a Pimp, but that hasn't stopped Three Six Mafia from freaking it and becoming kings of the biz. They've got multiple gold and platinum albums, they had their own show on MTV, and they won an Oscar and performed at the Academy Awards ceremony. But who cares about all that, when they got scrub love? These ninjas invited their homies ICP to be on their first platinum album, and now ICP are inviting them to share the Main Stage at the Gathering! These guys started out in the underground, and now they're bringin their wicked shit home to the mecca of underground music, the Gathering of the Juggalos 2008!
WTF Juggalos? That shit should have just blown your wig right there! If that's not a good reason to get your ticket, along with what you already know, then I don't know what is! Who knows, maybe we'll even see a performance of "Where Itz Goin Down"! Anyway, good news to start off the post!
Get GOTJ Tix on the Lotus Tour!: Are you a Gathering-Bound ninja who doesn't wanna trust the USPS to get your Gathering ticket to you? Well guess what? If you're heading out to the Dark Lotus Tour, you can pick up your Gathering Tickets right there at the merch booth! Take a look:
For those of you who might have bones ordering online, or just prefer to use cash money, get your asses to a show on the Dark Lotus Opaque Brotherhood Tour and hit up the Psychopathic merch booth, where they'll trade your scrilla for a shiny gathering medallion and wristband! It's the same price as online, $150, and you get all the same flavor as if it came in the mail. That means you can let Dark Lotus flip your wig into the upper atmosphere, and know that it'll be falling back to earth around August 7-10, when you'll be at Hatchet Landings in Cave-In-Rock Illinois with the Gathering tickets you bought at the Lotus show!
That's good news for those of you without checking accounts, credit cards, or the want to go out and get a money order. Ya lazy asses. Pick them up ASAP when the Lotus rolls through your town!
Boondox now on Lotus Tour?: We've had emails from several people about this, but a Juggalo named Psychotik K hit us up saying that Boondox made a 3 Song Appearance with 2 Tuff Tony and Corporal Robinson on this tour! This is probably due to the fact that The R.O.C. is no longer on the tour. So you get everybody but ABK on that's on Psychopathic Records all in 1 show! Not bad for around $25.00, eh? Also, Psychotik K wanted me to mention that security has been VERY tight with cameras on this tour. It probably isn't the venue's security though. He said that one of the guards told him that Psychopathic had them on strict orders to have no cameras in the building. That's just 1 guy's story though.
New Morton's List Newsletter!: This afternoon, I got an email about a brand new Morton's List Newslette for the month of June! If you're a Listalo and you wanna know everything that's going on the world of Morton's List, here's a link to it:
And as always, you can go to MortonsList.com for the latest in Morton's List news!
Tech N9ne's "KILLER" In Stores Now!: Just a friendly reminder for you. Tech N9ne's all new double-disc LP, "KILLER", is in stores nationwide NOW!

Sorry ninjas, that's all I'm gonna have time for this evening. I've got a long, fresh day tomorrow, so I need to get my beauty rest. lol. I got nothin' left to say or end with. Please don't hate me. Peace y'all!
What up y'all? This is your homie Scottie D here on the news page with like the 5th update in a row! Damn skippy! There's a bit to tell you about tonight, so we're just gonna go ahead and get this shit started with some:
DJ Clay Vol 2 Track Listing: I'm not sure if we've put up the track listing to this or not, but if we have, fuck it. Still gotta have some more hype for it! DJ Clay's "Let Em Bleed: The Mixtape Vol 2 will be released a week from tomorrow! That's Tuesday, July 8th! If you haven't seen it yet, here's some hype from DJ Clay's myspace, including the track listing:
With Let 'Em Bleed Volume 2, DJ Clay proves that the blood is still flowing! With the first volume, his turntable was just heating up. With Volume 2, he's meeting the Juggalo demand with more heat, more homies, and more hard-hitting beats. In addition to the usual Psychopathic suspects—ICP, Twiztid, Blaze, Boondox, ABK, and The R.O.C.—Clay's got fresh features from Bizarre of D12 and King Gordy, plus a rare appearance by Detroit underground rap legend Awesome Dre! The Let 'Em Bleed series is a win-win combination! It's the dopest Psychopathic tracks mixed in with the freshest guests, over the baddest beats, tricked out by DJ Clay! Let 'Em Bleed: The Mixxtape Volume 2 Tracklisting 01. Intro - DJ Clay 02. Snake Bite - Boondox 03. Knee Crackaz - Shaggy 2 Dope 04. Get 'Em All - DJ Clay feat. Jamie Madrox 05. Karma (Rock Mix) - Twiztid 06. They Know - Boondox 07. In Love With a Hooker - Violent J feat. Esham 08. Filthy - Shaggy 2 Dope 09. Rollin Over (Rock Mix) - ICP 10. Juggalo - Bizarre 11.

Dead Man Walking - Violent J 17. Outro!
Anyone else find it strange that in the paragraph above the track listing, there's a mention that ABK will be on it, but on the track listing, he's nowhere to be found? Anyway, thanks to Zerial for the head's up on that!
ESHAM Officially on the Lotus Tour!: We got numerous emails about Esham playing the last date or 2 of the Opaque Brotherhood Tour and wondered if it would be a permanent addition. Well InsaneClownPosse.com just confirmed it! Check it out:
A Legend Steps Up June 30, 2008
Dark Lotus is out causing nationwide devastation on one of the livest tours ever, and this Opaque Brotherhood is proving to be as unpredictable as it is wicked. Due to personal reasons, Haystak has left the Opaque Brotherhood Tour. But when you get as much wickedness in one place as the Five Petals of the Dark Lotus, it calls out to those who truly feel the Wicked Shit. Our long-time homie, and acid-rap master Esham has heeded the call, and Esham will be opening for Dark Lotus for the rest of the tour. Check out the remaining Dark Lotus dates and see if you stand to witness one of the most devastating assemblies of wicked masters ever to travel the land!

AMB on Hatchet House?: Just when you thought you had heard the last of 'em, we got word from OGiZZiE that the Axe Murder Boyz have put out a commercial on youtube showing their affiliation with Hatchet House. See for yourself here:
It seems as this has been a long time coming with their recent performance at Hatchet Attacks in Denver. We'll see what comes of it.
New Fallen Son Mixtape!: We got word that The Fallen Son just dropped a brand new mixtape called Lost Treasures: Vol 3! As you may have guessed, you can get that for absolutely FREE by following this link:
Stay tuned because in a couple of weeks, we'll have details on a 2 day festival that the Fallen Son will be a part of. More on that soon!
Some V-Ice Speculation?: A ninja named AnDy was at a Vanilla Ice concert last Friday in Chicago. He said that during his set, Ice mentioned that he will be playing at this year's Gathering of the Juggalos! I can't remember the last time he played the Gathering, but it's been a long fuckin time! Also, during his set, his DJ spun Southwest Voodoo, and Ice ended his set with a rendition of ICP's "How Many Times?"! Sounds like he's all ramped up for GOTJ this year. We'll see if that speculation, and this long-rumored collaboration between ICP and Vanilla Ice ever sees the light of day.
Broke Ass Juggalo Show in Phoenix!: Coming up next Saturday, July 12th, a ninja named JuGGaLoDaNNy emailed us about a show that's happening on Saturday, July 12th! The show is called the 5th Annual Broke Ass Juggalo Show, and it'll all go down at The Monstar Shop. Here is some info for that ass:

It's a red Samsung phone. If you have any info that may help this Juggalo get his phone back, hit him up at shaggs2rasslin@gmail.com!
New Songs of the Week!: We got some new Songs of the Week for that ass...including an old school banger from V-Ice, and one from the Fat Killahz...a group with King Gordy that many have never heard of. Everything over there is worth a listen, so make sure to snatch those up before they're gone!
That's gonna wrap it up for me today! I've gotta get back to work since..uhh...I probably shouldn't be writing a post here. But anyway, until next time, I'm out like This Asshole shoulda been:
