FLH: Alright. So let’s talk about music today. What do you guys think about Eminem mentioning you guys positively on his new LP?

Violent J: Fuckin dope, man! An honor, man.

Shaggy 2 Dope: Yeah! But it’s like we still get that so much from so many different angles: “What’s up with the Eminem beef?” God, that was in 1999. And was it for real when it was out there? Yeah it was for real, you know? But people grow up. Wounds heal. And it’s like you might have beef with somebody when you’re in high school. Once you’re a grown-ass man, it’s like: “What were we beefing over?” And it was what it was. But now it’s just totally different. Ain’t no beef really now.

Violent J: I think it’s fucking dope he gave us those shout-outs. That really said something to me. I don’t know what that means. Are we on his mind or what? But that just really, really blew my mind, I’ll tell you that much, man.

FLH: ICP and Eminem collab in the future possibly?

Violent J: I’d do it!

Shaggy 2 Dope: That’d be totally up to him.

All: [Laughing]

Shaggy 2 Dope: That ball’s up in his court, know what I’m saying.

So glad they asked my question! Did I just start the ball rolling on a collab?

If so, we all owe you a Coke.

Lol Pigg has anyone ever told you that you have a propensity (<— word of the day, knowboutit) for looking to deeply into shit? Lol in a good way. Like saying ICP looked sad between ICPT and such and now saying they sound defeated. I think they sound hyped as fuck for what 2014 is gonna bring. They got totally shit on in ’13 and now it’s a fresh new day so to speak. The way they worded some of them answers really reflects how poorly Billy is running shit. I mean fucking ICP themselves aren’t even really in the loop on when shit is dropping, that being said I can respect them keeping true to their homies and sticking with the clique. even if it is to a fault. This interview got me real excited for what 2014 has in store for Psy. New AMB, New Boondox, The box set, PSY The Videos 2, possibly new HooDoo, possibly New ICP, New Gathering, a solid chance of sticking it to the FBI, alll that. And I’m excited to be around for this new flavor in juggalo history.

I only read it and didn’t listen to it, but I’m sure they had a natural, healthy enough mix of fatigue and excitement in their voices and deneanors. They have lived hard and work like mules. They wrestled and had surgeries and smoked n drank n boned n traveled n flew n drank Nyquil n dealt with a mental stress the likes of which none of us have ever experienced n raised kids n got sick n did shows n etc etc etc…. they’re tired but still having fun. Like my Old, Dangerous ass.

their old interviews were like wrestling interviews all gimmicked out.. after the 6th dropped they stopped doing that & started doing the shoot style interviews wanting to be taken seriously..

This. Though I really do wish they didn’t.

Some of their old interviews would have me fucking rolling. There was one from around when the sixth dropped, where they keep going on tangents about the fact that the station’s premiering a song of Ja Rule and Bobby Brown.

“OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. BOBBY BROWN’S ALIVE? AND HE’S SINGIN’ WITH FROG? WHAT THE HELL’S JA RULE GONNA DO IN THAT SONG? BAAAYBAAYYYYYY I ONLY WANNA BE WITH YOOOUUUUU! YOU CAN FRONT ALL YOU WANT BUT JA RULE SOUNDS LIKE HE’S SUCKIN’ ON HOT COALS! HE’S SIPPIN’ GASOLINE SLURPEES! HE’S ALL OUT IN THE RAIN…I’M GONNA MAKE A MUSIC VIDEO OF ME OUT IN THE RAIN, RIPPING MY SHIRT OFF LIKE “OH! I GET SO WET!”

“Uh, so, you guys are gonna be at Spooky World tonigh–“

“WHO CARES!? BOBBY BROWN AND JA RULE!? PLAY THAT RIGHT NOW!”

I still listen to that shit and die.

I truly believe that those old interviews and such, that the fellas truly were a touch psychotic. Like 80% real not-giving-a-flapjack crazy people. Matter of fact when I first met them in 2000, J was screaming nonsensical shit at some juggs and I truly thought his mind had snapped. I think the excitement of them getting bigger and more renowned, plus just being raised around Detroit, made those two true lunatics. I absolutely loved those old videos and such. I miss it too, but damn those guys would’ve had an aneurysm or killed someone by now lol.. they almost have. Good old smash with the microphone stomp you at waffle house get stabbed n soil your draws fun!

or perhaps they are medicated now…Might explain J’s some of J’s weight retention.

Very likely! Almost a certainty. it explains a lot

Other than how fucked up the world still is, and unfair most of the juggalos have it in society. Which they’ve shown time and time again, that they feel bad about it. 

defeated seems like a good word to use.icp (w/an emphasis on J) haven’t had the “magic” or energy musically or in interviews for over a decade…if you compare any icp interview since they’re last appearance on the howard stern show to everything since then…the decline in honesty, entertainment, and overall positive energy/happiness is blatant. i would argue that their interviews on the stern show back in the day are the most enjoyable interviews to listen to in the history of music…nowadays they just go through the motions and try to conform to typical question/answers (<—icp theatre)

only had a chance to listen to about half of this interview, but was shocked by their answer to the question about the joker card boxset…did this blow anyone else’s mind???…they pretty much admitted that they are completely out of the loop w/wtf is going on @ psychopathic and have zero interest in the business/merchandising anymore.how the fuck could they (maybe it could be expected from shaggy…but J???) be under the impression that the boxset has been released?they weren’t curious to check on the sales numbers?never intended to promote it in any way?…thats crazy to me.kinda alarming & really telling to the current state of psychopathic

Sweet interview. Got me hyped up for some shit even though no release dates on anything. What’s the hold up on the box set though? They thought it was out haha.
