“I stab old people, old ladies, little kids, I don’t give a fuck; I stabbed a fat guy in the butt…whut? I’m Violent J and I stab people.”
“I hear voices, one voice in particular. He comes into my mind perpendicular; rectangular, he’s a…..stranguler. He’s like some kind of mental fuckin mangular.”

So, ICP is in Cleveland again tonight, but not for their music. They are hosting a JCW match and I’m not going.
Why, you ask? Well, I’ve never really been a wrestling fan and I’ve never really been interested in watching it. The one exception is when ICP commentated on the Stranglemania videos. Their commentary was hilarious! I love how J and Shaggy can just improvise such crazy shit at random, their rantings never get old or stop being funny. One of the best parts of having Big Money Hustlas on DVD was the commentary J did with Rude Boy and Alex Abbiss.
Even if they were doing a show however, I don’t think I would go. I feel bad for saying it, but I’ve been to so many of their shows and they never really change. Especially now that they haven’t put out any new songs since The Tempest. And the spraying Faygo thing is awesome, but the whole thing of having to remember to bring a towel and drive home soaking wet in the freezing cold (especially when you’re wearing face paint!) isn’t really exciting anymore. I hope that doesn’t make me sound old. I will totally go see them again, I just don’t go every time they’re in town anymore.
The same thing is happening with the Kottonmouth Kings. The last show I went to of their was pretty disappointing. I love their music, but they didn’t even play any of their new material! They just played the same songs they always play. I know there are certain songs that people are expecting to hear and that’s great, but I like to hear some new stuff too. Like ICP, I’ll no doubt go again, just not every time.
Oh well, at least Twiztid manages to keep their shows fresh. I’ll probably go see them at Peabody’s when they come in February.
