My hook-n-bait so to say was “How Many Times” and “Halls of Illusions“, two songs that I couldn't relate to more at that moment in my life. However, it wasn't until The Wraith: Shangri La, that I actually donned myself a ninja and accepted my extended family (amongst other things, like shattering my illusive ignorance of “racist ideals” that were drilled into my head by certain family members as a child), and even though I should be giving the entire Shangri La album its props for provoking such a crazy 180 in my life (most certainly for the better), I've gotta narrow it down to “We Belong“. Not only have I dealt with more than half of the situations in that song individually, but for the ones that don't apply directly to my own life, believe there's at least two or three others I'm close to (Juggalos and Non-Ninjafied Homies alike) that “got profiles nobody else fits” and each have their own line from that track. That was the nail in my coffin though, and till this day I can still remember in such great detail the feeling that overcame me that morning I popped Shangri La into my CD player and said “I hope this album is as good as that Great Milenko album I've been diggin” lol.

So to answer this post, with as many great and amazing songs I could list that have done wonders for my life and in the long run helped me change my outlooks/perceptions for the better in so many ways, I'm gonna have to go with “We Belong” =)

“Wrong With Me“, “Reazons Why“, and “I'm Alright” are my lifesavers anytime I've hit rock bottom though. Enjoyed this post a lot, def interested in seeing what others have to say regarding themselves.

Much Love!

On another note, maybe I’m an asshole for sayin it, but I think the word “family” is played out. I just prefer Juggalo or ninja myself.

str8 up.

all these people chanting family, but then ditch they homies they rode up with to gotj and go back home without them. i really dont get along with 60% of juggalos now since they always talking racist shit and bigotry on others. i grew up with actual family, but i can see how others relate to it and all… but when i became down there was no juggalo family. never really understood most of it, since alot of people dont even follow the meaning and i wouldnt want to call them my fam or really even associate with them when they go against everything this whole thing was made from. not talking shit about people that are into it. just stating what i have seen throughout my 17 years of the wicked shit.

i was down after hearing the riddlebox sampler.  i remember i was so young and when the colors of the riddlebox cover leaked onto the internet (before the cd came out) i went out and got my first tattoo.

Hall of Illusions and Echo Side for me…not sure why it was those 2 in particular but I never really gave them a real chance before then and those songs hooked me in…Jeckel Brothers was the first ALBUM for me…something about the Jake and Jack interlude chants were awesome to me along with a lot of the other melodies and weird production/sounds on the album

Being from Australia It wasn't until I went to Gathering that I truly felt the family love, Fam loved the fact that I had made the effort to travel across the other side of the planet for it, within minutes of driving in I had a faygo and Caribou Lou handed to me…along with some moonshine a lil later lol

The entire 90s had Internet. Lol. Back then?? Haha silly kids. Make it sound like we all drove wagons and made our own butter.
