Editorial Reviews

Take a moment...

Take a breath... The air is electric, and you've got one last chance to taste it... before all hell breaks loose. The signs are all there if you look: written in the fields, spreading across the sky, and droning in the wind. Enjoy the sounds that reach out to you for they might be the last you ever hear... Take your last gasp and enter... The Calm. The Dark Carnival has spoken throughout the Joker's Card saga, and the world waits to see if this Calm will find them silent, or if it's just the sign of chaos to come... The Calm shall settle across the ENTIRE WORLD, before all is consumed by the storm!

4.0 out of 5 stars get at me doe, May 7, 2006

This review is from: Calm (Audio CD)

i don't think i'd consider myself a juggalo, necessarily. i love icp, i love twiztid, and the whole psychopathic records, and all the stuff the label has put out has kept me in a pretty good mood throughout the garbage i've had to go through...so...maybe i am, i don't know. that's not the point. i was reading through some of these older album reviews and i was pretty upset by what some people have said about icp, their fans, and this record. hip hop heads have this tendency to be unbelievably elitist, and that's what i was reading, about how "our hip hop is better than your hip hop" and all this garbage. hip hop was started as a counterculture and because the mainstream cats just don't understand what we're all about...because it's different. so who are you to say what's too counterculture or not cool because you don't like it? grow up, man. if kids want to express themselves by painting their faces and spraying rootbeer, it's no weirder than you wanting to get a slab of cardboard and breakdance on a corner with your boys, or anything like that. i hate people who think they can tell everyone their music is great and everyone else is dumb because they don't like a million artists with goofy names who nobody but you and your boys have heard of because the dude probably recorded his mixtape in the backseat of your baby momma's car last week and now you're upset because he was throwing copies at people and nobody wanted it. nobody dissed you for that, so leave icp and their fans alone. as far as the record is concerned, it's not as good as some of their other albums, but i think in terms of ICP themselves, i like Violent J more with every release, and Shaggy's doing less rapping and more hyping, which is good and bad, he's as good of a hype man as he is an MC, if not better. the beats are a little more of a throwback to some of their older stuff, and they're a lot more on the up and "happy" side, compared to Hell's Pit, which was one of the darkest records on Psychopathic since the first Dark Lotus cd. the lyrics are pretty funny most of the time, especially Violent J, who I'm starting to think while he might not be the greatest MC ever, is one of the wittiest MCs I've ever heard, the rhyme schemes might not be jaw dropping, but he's a very funny guy. I'm interested to see what these guys do now that the Joker's Saga is over and a lot of their supergroups are on hold (two of the seven members of Psychopathic Rydas, the sixth member of Dark Lotus, and two of the three MCs in Soopa Villainz are all no longer on the label). It ought to be an interesting next few years, sportsfans. stay tuned. and everyone who doesn't like icp doesn't have to listen to them. it shouldn't be hard...they're not on BET's Freestyle Filez or MTV's TRL or on your radio unless you live in the D...and i'm not even sure they're on the radio there either. thanks for listening to me ramble.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm a Juggalo and this CD is.... Crap!, March 3, 2006

I love ICP, they created our thing, developed our thing, and work harder then any other music group in this industry... And maybe that's the problem.

This CD is flipping terrible, not one thing I want to listen to on it (Luckly it only cost me 5 bucks). It's beats and lyrics were crap. This is definately ICP's worst CD.

Now I'm not saying ICP is gonna disappear like all these Armagedon types and I don't have a beef with them switching from Mike Clark to Mike P and Moving back to Mike Clark again (Both of those guys know how to make good beats for em). I'm just saying this was ICP's worst album and that's bad since they are not about talent but are about a combination of gimmik, message (Yeah there is a message so FU), and insanity.

ICP is a special group, yeah maybe in the paint chip eating way but they are still special. Their big problem is, they are going to burn themselves out! They have been out for 13 years and have 19 CD's out! That's just ICP CD's not including Psycopathic family stuff which is another 7 CD's! So these guys have done 2 CD's a year in their entire career. Name one person in the Industry that is prolific as that! You can't!

What I'm saying is relax guys, ---- you made your point. You created something all on your own, something that others wish they could do.

Take a year off, hell take two you made 26 god dammed CD's. Enjoy yourselves, sign more talent to your label. Oh and fix those dammed contracts, they piss people off. ABK should not have left Psychopathic it is a mistake for both him and Psychopathic. If anything him and Blaze should have done more stuff together, they just make a good team.

-PS on E-Sham he works better alone, I don't know why it's just the way it is with him. He should stick with solo albums and N.A.T.A.S. Psychopathic is just not a fit for him.

That's all I really have to say, keep Strugglin my brothers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Is it just me or do they keep getting worse?, May 22, 2005

Ok...now before all you other Juggalos get pissed I just want you to know that I'm going to be COMPLETELY honest with this review...I'm a Juggalo too but I would never tell someone to buy a CD that I felt wasn't any good...To tell the truth I haven't like very much since Shangri La: The Wraith...the beats have seemed to change a bit and so has Violent J's delivery with his lyrics...however the song "Rollin Over" is great and sounds like their older stuff. The other songs I like are "We'll Be Alright" and "Deadbeat Moms" w/Esham, but the chorus totally sucks and sounds like it took 3 seconds to come up with...So I say if you're collecting CD's buy it, if you're looking for a good CD buy one of their older ones or buy KMK's upcoming CD.
