OK, granted, everyone has already blogged about this, but I just can’t let it pass without comment.
Insane Clown Posse (hereafter known as ICP) is best known for their horrorcore, which is an abortion of a genre that combines rap and metal with satanic themes into something that you couldn’t pay me to listen to.
I just ... can't. No.
But they are now exploring magic and miracles in their new song, “Miracles.” Miracles like pelicans. And rivers. And rainbows. And magnets — how the fuck do they work?
What THE FUCK is going on here?
If this description hasn’t convinced you to watch the video, enjoys these lyrical snippets:
“I’ve seen miracles all around me/Stop and look around its all astounding/Water, fire air and dirt/Fucking magnets, how do they work? I don’t want to talk to a scientist/y’all motherfucking lying and getting me pissed.”
Some other scientific phenomena that is ascribed to either magic and/or miracles: Oceans, stars, mountains, trees, the seven seas, everything chillin’ under water please, hot lava, snow, rain and fog, long neck giraffes, pet cats and dogs, UFOs, a river flows, plant a little seed and nature grows, Niagara falls and the pyramids, and fuckin’ rainbows after it rains.
Violent KJ goes on: “There’s enough miracles here to blow your brain/I fed a fish to a pelican in Frisco bay/And he tried to eat my cell phone/I ran away.” That’s the way with pelicans, Violent J.
Sadly, the ICP has roundly rejected the scientific community, so it appears that these miracles will be forever unexplained to the legions of Juggalos … you know, hardcore ICP fans who paint their faces.
I ... just ... but ...
Anyway, if all of this hasn’t convinced you to run and not walk to the video, then I don’t know what will. Except maybe linking it right below. Here it is!
And, if you haven’t seen SNL’s hilarious and mean takedown (“Blankets! How do they work?”) then it is also required viewing.
P.S., ICP — 15,000 Juggalos in one room is not a miracle. I don’t know that there are words to describe what it is, but a miracle it is not.
Discussion question: What would you do if you found out your favorite uncle is a Juggalo? Your favorite auntie a Juggalette?
