I Can't wait for this i loved Shangri-La and hells pit i love this new set

There is a subliminal theme to this set though. Violent J hinted about it and I believe ive cracked it. The new deck being about heaven and hell makes sense though. I mean look at a standard 52 deck of cards. They have a million different designs for them. Naked girls, city lights, the standard bicycle deck, dogs, tropical etc. The cards all do the same fucking thing BUT THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE. This new set is targeted at those who werent around the first time. A new era of ninjas. ive met some ninjas who are down as fuck and have family love but for one reason or another they have never been able to get a hold of a copy of the ringmaster let alone many of the og psy albums because nobody hardly sells them. There are people who don't have access to the internet and can't download it and have no homies who can burn em a copy and have only enough money for their ticket and no merch. Some records stores carry older cds but major retailers DO NOT carry the older shit anymore unless its been on the shelf for years. Especially since were considered a gang now. I mean look at all the compilation albums that have came out lately. Its not because they want your money and theyre out of ideas but its because their shit is nearly extinct. The new deck is a new way to tell the same story to people who are unfortunate enough not to have access to the first deck and its a way for older juggalos to take a look at themselves and decide if theyve lived up to what they claim to. What about when the worlds like fuck us kill us what will ya be? what about when we create a new jokers card deck and try to get more people down what will you be? I am personally 100% behind icp and their message of the dark carnival. Let me ask you this, would you rather they come out with new faces, new songs and new tales from the dark carnival? Or just mass produce and advertise every classic joker card one by one?

mike said in numerous interviews he hated the heaven/hell concept & was shocked that was the 6th i do think he could school it tho but it’d be kinda wierd considering everything he said about it

Now that you mention it I think you're right. But things change. People change. Obviously MEC and ICP's vision has realigned since their split so whatever Mike said in the past doesn't matter anymore. Either that or once it comes time for the 6th they'll get another producer again heh.

he did have a shot at the sixth. its called “the remix album” for the sixth,,,before the tempest dropped 

That's different. Like Warlock said, he only mixed a few songs. Plus it's something entirely different to take a song that was already made and remix it than it is to create a new song from the ground up.

I've been down for 14 of those 20 years and I'm just as geeked about these new cards as I was about the 1st set! BPB was amazing & I still bump the fuck out of it like I did with all the other cards when they came out! If I didn't dig 'em I wouldn't play them as much as I do! J is right about us looking back at each era and remembering all the parts of our life associated with those times and how awesome it was. The BPB era is no different for me, it's been just as magical as all the other eras…maybe cause my life is awesome and I appreciate it. ICP have never let me down with a Joker's Card and I don't expect MDP or any other card in this 2nd set to be any different cause they have proved it to me time and time again without fail. Of course this set will end with the Heaven or Hell theme again! That's all there is…your so called REAL life is going to end like that whether you like it or not, or choose to accept it or not. The people hating would be doing themselves a great favour if they just shut their mouth and listened for once and looked inwards at themselves rather than outwards! Maybe then they will start to realise that there is more to life than what our eyes see! Maybe we should just stab their eyes out so they can learn faster! LOL If you don't like what ICP are doing fuck off, forget them and listen to something else or better yet make your own music if you're such an expert on what's dope!
