Since Facebook comments and Twitter posts are filled with garbage and incoherent rants, and there’s 5 topics here with random replies in each, I think 1 topic dedicated to the civilized discussion of the new ICP interview is fair.

Mainly, what are your thoughts and bullet point highlights of the interview?

1. It seems that Twiztid is fueled by money, to a large extent. I won’t go out on a limb and say “money more than family” but it sure does seem that way at times. They run a new label, so that’s understandable. It was obvious with the constant pushes of Twiztid-Shop and merch explosions but this interview kind’ve confirms that.
2. The whole thing with the large contracts and requesting of masters, and how they wanted to divide Juggalo Day with separate sets but no Dark Lotus, speaks for itself without a doubt.
3. I’m curious as to what masters were given to Twiztid, besides Freek Show and Mutant (I’m assuming). What tour EP did they receive?
4. I always thought the constant “jabs and slap in the faces” was simply a part of Twiztid’s attitude and “humor” sort of. It reminded me of when HOK would replace ICP flyers back in the ‘90s, although they still liked them. But this interview and Madrox denying that ever happened via Twitter made me change my mind.
5. I think it’s a good thing that ICP stated they’re not hunting Otis. I can understand Myzery and his camp’s anger. Although they probably are looking for a small bit of publicity, people forget that e-thugs and online threats can indeed lead to the real thing. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of an Otis ass whooping.
6. It’s been said many times before, but an interview or statement from Twiztid needs to happen. Although, how can they defend themselves at this point? I think if anything, they can reveal the “big screw ups” that Psychopathic did. It wouldn’t be surprising if they completely ignore it though, but who knows?
7. In addition, there has to be a unified reason for Twiztid, Blaze, R.O.C., Boondox, and Otis to all leave the label. I’m sure each one has their own little reasons (obviously) but there has to be one thing that sticks out. Maybe Billy Bill is involved in that matter, or former employees?
8. I don’t want to speak too much about the Otis situation, but J and Jumpsteady catching Otis inside Samantha’s house asleep with his shirt off, and then blatantly lying about banging her moments after, kind of sets his personality in stone.
9. I wonder what ICP’s overall reaction to their own catalog being covered in Otis’ scent is now. They’ve got Lost, Found, Outtakes, Killjoy Club, and Phantom with Otis all over it, plus the AMB records and his solo album. I don’t see them pulling another Marz cover up (rerecording the first Dark Lotus album with ABK), it’s just too much music. But what are their reflections on the music, specifically? I’m also curious if Shaggy’s new album has any trace of Otis left on it.
10. That picture of Otis with Twiztid in an MNE jersey was my first time seeing it. As J was describing how it was “gross” and whatnot, I could totally understand his viewpoint, just looking at Otis’ face. They just seem so out of place due to them hating each other since the beginning of time. J’s homo scenario was used perfectly.
11. It’s reasonable that Twiztid shouldn’t have to come crawling to a meeting whenever J says so. They’re standing alone and aren’t on the label anymore. But why have George do all the talking for them? It doesn’t seem like it’s Jumpsteady & George, or Billy Bill & George. It’s mainly J & George. So why can’t it be ICP & Twiztid discussing things? Not even from a business standpoint, but also from an old friendship point.
12. It’s kind of dumb that J brought up that old running gag of wanting Twiztid to spit bars on a new artist’s song. If they don’t like Blahzay, then so be it. A lot of people don’t. I can see what he’s saying, but his wording and his approach wasn’t too good.
13. What are your thoughts about the new group that ICP is in? They said it wouldn’t be mind blowing at first, but after it’s heard, it’s supposed to split wigs.
14. I’m wondering which new artist might be on Psychopathic. It seems like a group and not just a solo act. If they’re also waiting for the drama to pass, then it can’t be someone closely affiliated with the hatchet world. Maybe someone like Onyx or Cypress Hill?
15. The 4^th Joker’s Card is going to be nuts. I think it might be their angriest one yet.
16. Vanilla Ice is dope and I respect him even more now. But why does he say that he’s still signed to Psychopathic, yet haven’t been included or mentioned on anything whatsoever for years now? Maybe this whole drama plus the March will change things.
17. In conclusion, I can understand how 2017 is “the big 17” and everyone needs to “shine brightly and face their goals.” I have a different take. Yeah sure, it’s going to rain diamonds and whatnot, but has everyone forgot that diamonds usually have a sharp and rough edge to it? If it rains diamonds, then it’s going to hurt quite a bit. I think the end result and entering 2018 without a huge scratch is the absolute payoff, and is the overall goal of “the big 17.” Has anyone else thought this way as well?

Sorry for the long post, and it’s actually quite unfortunate that this drama is creating a lot of discussion.  It does put a lot of things in a new light though. The overall reflections will be the lesson learned in the end, and I’m sure there is more to come…
