So what, it is on Fogotten Freshness. The ending to Red Christmas is different. On this, there is a 12 days of Christmas. That $h!t aint on the forgotten freshness. Plus, I am trying to get my hands on as much as I can.

This single is short but sweet. Its usually cheap too, so I say its worth the price. Now, I know these tracks are already featured on Forgotten Freshness volumes 1 & 2, and the original Carnival X-Mas ep, but if your a collector, which you problably are since your reading this, you will want this in your collection. I would recommend the original but it isn't very easy to find these days since its basically out of print but you can catch them on the webstore(if your lucky).
'Santa's A Fat Bxtch' is the bomb diggity, a humorous track but a classic. When I say classic, I mean old school "I remember those days..." classic. It serves as a good song to sing when you and your homies are bored or whatever.
'Red Christmas' is the last track and is fatter then your mother. Hehe just playing. This song is phat though, its a good track but nothing outstanding.
My words of advice are to buy this or get buyed. Foe real.

ICP are always accused of being devil worshippers and all that crap, but it's just an ACT! They are just two talented guys entertaining us. Besides, not once in any of they're songs do they ever say that god doesn't exist or they worship they devil. In fact, God is the first person they thank on their CD's so HAH!

ICP FUCKEN RULE

Well, this release was pretty Fresh and all, but they failed to include 1 song that was on the '94 release. "Santa Killaz" was the best song on it. The song included an apperance by their producer Mike E. Clark and Fink the east side G. Its still a good buy though, listen and learn the ways of the dark carnival! Tang!

These are two really good christmas songs by ICP. The songs themselves would both earn 5 stars but its really pointless to buy this when both of them are on Forgotten Freshness 1+2. But if you have the extra money it'd be cool to show it off I guess.

I got the re-issue of the Carnival Christmas just because it was I.C.P and I collect all I can from them and Psychopathic Records. This CD is fairly rare, so if you see it you should problably buy it, if your a collector or a fan. This was only available during December of 1994, but alot of them have been re-made and sold on the webstore and other places and eventually the other 2-Track single with the songs 'Santas A Fat Bxtch' and 'Red Christmas' only. I wrote a review for that CD as well, so you can check that out if you want full detail, these songs are fresh and all but also on Forgotten Freshness vols. 1 & 2, thus you've problably already heard enough on those tracks. Anyway, the third track on this ep is 'Santa Killas'. This track is very fresh, and rare, and even features master-producer Mike E. Clark on vocals! Fink The East Side G even makes his first and last feature on an I.C.P track. The clowns lay down that wicked flavor and Mike E. tears it up. Fink has some skill and adds to the freshness. 'It's Coming' is basically just a promotion for the then-upcoming 3rd Joker's Card the Riddlebox. Its okay, but nothing outstanding or nothin'. All in all, this ep is awesome, strait up. You problably won't want this if your not a collector or a juggalo, so don't even bother. This one is fresh to have, especially with the two rarely-heard tracks added to this first edition of the Carnival Christmas. Season's Greetings. =)>

If you want the songs on this album dont waste your money on this CD...buy Forgotten Freshness Vol. 1 and II...you get these two songs and a bunch of killer rare stuff and remixes...

This 2 track EP was first released in 1994 with 2 extra tracks. But for one reason or another, the EP was taken off shelves, and later re-released in 1997, minus 2 tracks. This album is a perfect Juggalo Christmas gift. The atmosphere in the songs really get you in the Christmas spirit. The weird thing is, I only tend to really like these songs around December, any other time of the year I usually never pay them no mind.

But regardless of what I may think of it now, it's still pretty fresh, Violent J and 2 Dope spit wicked Christmas "carols" so to say. J's storytelling here is great, and 2 Dope's singing ("Red Christmas' chorus) and rapping live up to J's storytelling in my opinion. The lyrics get a B+ from me.

The production is pretty good as well, courtesy of Mike Clark and I.C.P., but like I said, I tend to get into it more during the Christmas season, any other time of the year the Christmas beats doesn't cut it for me. Thus 3 stars. The production gets a B from me as of now.

Here's my track-by-track ratings.

01. "Santa's A Fat Bxtch" (B+)
02. "Red Christmas" (B+) (my favorite)

I recommend this to all Juggalos but only during the Christmas season. Sure, both of these songs are on the "Forgotten Freshness, Vols. 1 & 2" compilation, but this is still worth the money just out of the Christmas spirit. This also makes a great gift for the Juggalos. Peace.
