lol psychopathic artist have never really been ones for substance although "the deep end", "screaming out", & "falling down" all have some.. ive never been able to get into strange so i cant really speak on that aspect.. overall it was a good project.. kinda came across as a abominationz leftovers album but i really liked the tracks i mentioned above.. and singing>>>>

on a different but somewhat related note i hate when people (mostly juggalos) claim people who rap fast are on some tech n9ne shit or people singing are on some krizz shit.. its like really? those muthafuckas didnt invent that shit of course they do it but a lot of other muthafuckas have done it in the past & recently.. its like why arent they on some twista shit? haha it just comes across like theyre tryin to say theyre the only dudes doin it & its like patented or some shit haha

Don't say anything at all, right? I'm normally totally on a positive tip. But on this, I just gotta speak my mind.

 

I just tried to give Twiztid's A New Nightmare yet another listen...to no avail. To me, it is a complete waste of 41 minutes. I don't like to criticize anybody's art. You NEVER EVER see me on this tip. But this record is pretty much garbage and a huge disappointment to any Twiztid fan.
 

First off, the sound is totally derivative of Strange Music Inc, which is undeniable. Twiztid's newfound solo endeavor finds them looking at Strange's mainstream success and wanting to follow suit. And good for them. But, sadly, the boys don't pull it off well. The content suffers. It's like they're trying to be mini-Kalis with all that singing shit. (And not in the hilarious Mirror Mirror type way.) And Jamie's nasily sing-songy flow is retarted. Sick man? Worst song of the year, hands down.

 

Overall, the record does nothing for me. Just my opinion. The sound suffers. The content lacks. I found the song "Wasted" particularly troubling: "Cool song about popping molly there, Twiztid." Very reminiscent of Tech. Go ahead. Feed into the drug culture. Party, party, party until somebody ODs, right? Right. See you on the drug bridge, bros.

 

Bottom line: Personally, I like my rappers to have more substance or concepts than "Wasted." And to, in fact, question that drug bridge culture that's left so many of my people strung out or fallen over the years.

 

I am interested to see what the boys produce next. But thus far...I'm not impressed. Quite the opposite.

See I feel the completely opposite way about this album, so I wouldn't say "any Twiztid fan". I can def see why a lot of people don't feel it with their new lyrical approach if you will, but to me, this album bumps. Seeing "Down With Us" live is ridiculous! Wicked shit to the fullest.

Everyone has their opinions, which is dope. I hate the direction ICP is going in. Speaking of which, did you ever get backlash for the tarot cards from PSY chick?

Warlock saying psychopathic artists dont have songs with substance is borderline retarded.

true.. luckily i didnt say that haha

never really

maybe its my shitty english skills haha but i meant it as a psychopathic album usually only has one song with "substance" while the rest is off in another direction.. clearly i didnt say they NEVER have 'em.. i was just saying that isnt the majority of their product.. & is just a small piece of it.. im sure it couldve been worded better.. my bad haha 

yall would even rank it below heartbroken & homicidal??

Substance is an opinion. I think a lot of ICP's fuck around songs back in the day have more substance than songs where they're trying to be serious. Because I'd rather listen to the former than the latter. I just don't like when people take themselves too seriously and start preaching. I'm inspired more by people having fun and not trying to change the world. Where as other people are the opposite. Apples and oranges.

I agree with that. Abominationz is my favorite Twiztid album next to Mostasteless. It's like Twiztid graduated on that album.

I didn't see New Nightmare in there. I agree not a game changer imo. Just a mix tape who cares. I skip tracks. The videos they put out have been a big step up from their Psychopathic ones.

I think FF5 sucks outside of a couple old school songs but it doesn't make me judge the next ICP album or anything.

Also what's up with the weird arguments toward Twiztid lately here? "Twiztid is fucking arrogant!", "Twiztid's promoting too much drug use!", "Twiztid have sold out!", "Twiztid are singing and gone soft!", "Twiztid's sound has changed!". Where's the backlash to ICP? They're doing that stuff x10. Much more than Twiztid. Like not even close.
