i like the comparison with the Hajj.

Can someone American please succinctly explain Insane Clown Posse to me?

and to me too. I cant imagine them existing here.

"ninjas can expect to hear brand new material"

to be honest there's something kind of beautiful and inspiring about this, and i'm not even kidding. i think.

#1 rock festival ever

So it's set then, right? ICP FAP August 6-9, 2009?

Woo Woo!

xp. I wouldn't go that far but i can see something kind of cool in it in that it's all the bands on a label and assorted acts that they would be in in one festival, so really quite a specific demographic yet still really huge. Also the activities are pretty interesting for a festival and I'm sure if you were a juggalo it would be totally awesome. I don't really fit into such a specific subculture in anyway and even if I did I don't really expect there would anything like this for it. So, I suppose while it's completely lame it's also, I dunno, nice? Good for them I suppose?

Would you go if it was on in Viewpark?

Not in a million years!

Probably better than the rez in the 90s though!

don't really get these guys (in the same way that i don't get ppl who are really into horror movies) but they seem harmless.

but youre glad they dont live near you?

"over 120 musical acts, from rappers to...bands"

and DUDES ON STILTS!!!!

I had to go to a horrible free dental clinic because I don't have insurance and there were a couple of Juggalos up in that bitch with me. They didn't know each other beforehand, but recognized each other because one had an ICP jersey and necklace, the other had tat with that psycho with a butcher knife logo. They greeted each other warmly and proceeded to discuss sick ass Twisted shows, one dude's crazy azz Juggalo homie getting high off rotted orange peels in jail, and the skank azz ho that stole the other dude's Juggalo gear, leaving him "feeling naked." Another highlight was when they had some unimpressed black hip hop dudes listen to Twisted mp3s on their phones.

and then they beat your ass for misspelling Twiztid

This makes me happy. My ex girlfriend and i laughed so hard at a thread about this subculture years ago.

Do they really call each other Ninjas, aside from Juggalos?

yes dude they do

Hog Daddy's Giant Hellfire of Death!!! How about this freshness?

Awesome Dre is in the Psychopathic Family now?!

o_O x 100000000

where is Dan?

ok I started watching this for the lols but by the end I grew some fucking balls and now I'm really excited about it! Probably the turning point was midget wrestling on thumbtacks. And there's a lot of sex in the air, don't doubt it. Actually, now it sounds like I'm sneering, but I'm trying not to; I was born in Illinois and lived in Indiana recently for six years, and this culture seems to be as authentically rust belt as can be. I actually want to start going on about post-racial bullshit watching this but I'll spare you.

maybe we could pool some cash and get an ilxor to attend and provide updates? I bet this would be a really good time.

At any rate maybe we can get Sugar Slam to start posting here.

So is this where the ilm reevaluation starts? First this thread, then we'll get a Defend the Indefensible where a couple key ilxors profess a grudging love for several early ICP tracks. Then comes the POO and album poll threads. And pretty soon Insane Clown Posse is all like Steely Dan or some shit.

hahaha

This video is going to be the reason Sugar Slam is turned down for that job reporting local news.

Sugar Slam in ten years...

Tracey Smothers wikipedia page still contains vandalism I did about three years ago

I happen to know Coolio is very hype to come kick it with the juggalos.

The Gathering of the Juggalos is in the middle of nowhere! No internet connection, no cell signal, 35 miles from the closest hotel, an hour and a half from the nearest airport. Even the directions to the site are wrong. On The Gathering site the address that they give you is actually about 4 miles from where the event really is and there’s no signage anywhere to tell you that. Drove into Kentucky before I got on the right path. They list it as being in Cave-in-Rock, IL but it’s really at “Hogrock”. That’s the real name, not kidding (and of course, you have to drive past “Equality, IL” and “Muddy, IL” to get there. Crazy).

My first impression made me think of Vietnam, as I’ve seen it in war movies. There are people everywhere, in various states of undress - topless, naked, half dressed and back again - thousands of tents with people camping everywhere, fireworks going off, tons of bonfires burning, helicopters flying overhead… like nothing I’ve ever seen. The site itself is HUGE. The open air bars (although it’s all BYO and man, do they ever), the food area, the showers, the Experimental Stage, the Wolf Pac Stage, The First Aid area, the Main Stage, the Pro Wrestling Stage, the Midway with actual Carnival Rides, etc. It’s a city unto itself in the middle of nowhere. Think Woodstock meets Meth Lab. So… very intimidating at first.

But I have to say once I started to walk around and talk to people (and shoot them), I had an awesome time. The people were great, really nice and down to earth. Very approachable and soft-spoken even in many cases. Yes, many of them look sketchy and it’s easy to see why people think of them as they do, but really that’s surface and kind of low-hanging fruit. Judge not… right?

Appearances in many cases are deceiving and this group has essentially created their own universe/reality—in fact, the Juggalos & Juggalettes call themselves “The Family” and they get along well with each other. I didn’t see one fight (well, none that were unplanned) but I did see many people helping each other and sharing food, alcohol and other “substances” throughout the weekend.

Some “Wolf Pac” highlights: The Wasabi Snorting Contest, The Whiskey Funnel (a beer funnel, but with 6 oz. of Whiskey), “Blind” (blacked out goggle taped to their heads) Roller Skating Gladiator Fights, some random guy letting people kick him full force in his babymaker, a different guy, as punishment after losing the (alternating) “10 shots of Vodka/10 shots of Hot Sauce” contest, getting straight up punched in his junk, rappers, strippers & porn stars aplenty.

The music, sound and staging/professionalism of the Main Stage music was great - George Clinton & P-Funk, Vanilla Ice (super nice guy), Tech N9ne, Mystikal, Xzibit and of course Insane Clown Posse (aka ICP).

I have been to thousands of shows and I have never seen anything like ICP performing (I watched their whole show from the stage). They spray 2 liter bottles of Faygo soda non-stop throughout their performance—on themselves, the security guards, the audience—literally hundreds, if not thousands, of bottles, non-stop (they had an 18-wheeler backed up next to stage loaded with the stuff), no exaggeration. Their sound was the loudest thing I’ve ever heard, the bass beats just constantly vibrating my chest and making all of the liquid in the bottles backstage ripple like in the movie Jurassic Park when the dinosaur is walking. The vibrations from the music actually broke my camera—it doesn’t work at all anymore, the light just blinks (totally worth it). Mind blowing!

The celebs were all super friendly as well. Charlie Sheen was very personable (and completely lucid), taking photos and just generally enjoying the event and taking it in. Ron Jeremy (!) was there too, separate from Charlie although they knew each other and spent some time chatting and catching up. Also Vanilla Ice, Flavor Flav, Xzibit - it felt like the most surreal Summer Camp experience ever!

damn, it sounds pretty awesome

for the most part that's the kind of experience I have with Juggalos too, they embrace "low culture" and are a lot nicer than you'd expect

Yeah, I've had two real life, significant conversations with Juggalos and both of them were exceedingly polite, friendly, and really intelligent.

plus they share drugs/alcohol pretty freely

One of the two dudes I meant was actually really anti drinking and anti drugs! He came from a pretty fucked up family of addicts, he ended up delving into ICP as his escape and the whole drug scene was one of the things he really didn't like about it.

Every year there looks like there could be a p good hiphop festival in this mess. Does America do, you know, an actual hiphop festival, not just for juggalos?

Rock the Bells but they always have so much cornball shit and its never as fun as this

Cheeseburgers raining from the sky

Cloudy with a chance of juggalos.

no fronting; that is a great lineup
Rahzel! Fat Boys! Haystak! Motherfucking Mushroom Head!

i never noticed that the red running juggalo symbol on a white flag looked so much like a swastika

they got Who's Bad? The Internationally Acclaimed Michael Jackson Tribute Band

they have a wrestling robot for fuck's sake why am i not going to this

A highly relevant article

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/P/1451626886.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

i read that as "misaligned tribes" which would prob also be 100% accurate

also when in hell did the gathering of the juggalos become an awesome hip-hop fest?

what percentage of the audience is actually likely to be juggalos?

or should i, what percentage of the audience is likely to be juggaling?

Ha!
"Not sure if I can make it on Tuesday, I may have to juggal my schedule a little, bitch... woot woot!"

-juggaleptic businessman

juggalos freak me out because i subconsciously conflate them with the mutant gang from frank miller's batman dark knight returns. the "woot woot" thing is the most chilling thing about them for me for some reason. however, i am not proud of this prejudice and if i met a juggalo i would try my hardest not to judge him or her too harshly because of this.

for what it's worth, rabin's book manages to make many of them quite likeable, with occasional alarming moments. he ends up going native, effectively

treeship, i think it's fine to silently judge juggalos.

I Sunni. Those guys were way more ripped than most Juggalos I've seen. Also, kinda new wave.

"Woot woot" is absolutely chilling though.

And "FA-MUH-LY!FA-MUH-LY!"

I was tempted to start chanting this at our local fireworks celebration when a chant of "U-S-A! U-S-A!" arose. I bet I could have converted it to, but was too chicken that the tide could have turned against me.

gathering of the juggalos looks like a good time. apparently this guy parked in a handicapped spot without proper tags.

it's on

weak video, weak lineup

they all seem so tired

In less than five years Juggalos have been full on mainstreamed

i know the send-a-internet-writer-to-the-gathering genre is pretty played at this point but now that we have VOX on the internet i foresee some dope reportage

I'm bummed that they left their ancestral homeland, Cave-in-Rock.

Folks it's that time of the year again: the 24th Gathering of the Juggalos in Thornville, Ohio is underway. Here's a 🧵of this year's storylines to follow: pic.twitter.com/u7fF56RQLT
