The homie Violent J was interviewed today by Uproxx.com.  They asked him a bunch of questions surrounding the new Marvelous Missing Link albums, their quarter-century career, Juggalos, the Gathering, and lots more!  Violent J talks about wanting to write another book, faith/spirituality, and actually seems to get annoyed with the questions at the beginning of the interview. It’s a good, quick read, and you can see an excerpt from it below.

From Uproxx.com:

You’ve put together a long career, you have your own record label, the wrestling, movies, merchandise, all of that. Given that you’ve been so successful for so long, do you think ICP gets the respect it deserves?

Yeah, man. I do. We get respect from our fans, the Juggalos. We get thanked all the time by fans for making this music. They tell us that our music literally saved their life, man. That’s something special to hear that from somebody. Some people will say Oh, their music is just for Juggalos orOnly Juggalos like that. But what does that even mean? Juggalos are people. That would be like saying Only people listen to that music.

What would you say is the single biggest misconception about ICP?

That we suck, you know. That we’re just no good. We’ve been doing this for a long time and we’ve kept a lot of fans because we make a good product and we do it consistently. We wouldn’t have as many fans as we have for as long as we have if we weren’t putting out good sh*t.

A lot of people say “Ah, the old sh*t was better” or only want to listen to the older stuff, but that happens with every artist. It comes with the territory when you’ve been around as long as we have.
