I used to have that CD, it wasnt that bad. Do you listen to the rapper Cage? He used to rap in the horrorcore vein but was a class above the rest (in my opinion).
No. I'm not a big rap fan. I once loved ICP, but they've gone downhill ever since they stopped working with Mike E. Clark. The beats are crap, and you can have the best rapper in the world, but rapping over shitty beats won't help. I bought that album used and pretty much knew it was going to suck, which is why it's taken me this long to buy it. I liked the intro and "The Walls," but even that song has Violent J rapping "staring into the walls of my epitome." Haha.
ICP are the dumbest geniuses in music, I swear.
Yeah the Into is the only track I played more then once lol. I dont know how they got so famous, its like they figured out how to write lyrics so bad that they sell. When I was in highschool, some guy couldnt shut up about them so I bought that Black Rain CD thinking is was gonna kick ass. It wasnt good at all, but I have heard worse. Cage isnt associated with ICP in anyway, he actually is really similar to Eminem (some think he is better then Eminem).
They got popular because they were once a brilliant group, albeit in a stupid way. Their longtime producer, and essentially third member, quit working with them around 2000, I think. Then they went downhill. They haven't been the same since. Mike E. Clark is the only producer that works well with ICP because he's not a "beat maker," he's a musician. Anyone can make a beat. That's easy. But out of all the producers ICP have used since, including themselves, none of them have been able to consistently write good
songs, or good instrumentals.
A producer in rap is basically the person recording everything and also writing the music/beats. It's not easy to make something good. But anyway, this isn't the thread/forum to be discussing ICP. If you're interested, though, just try anything by them that didn't come out after the Bizzar/Bizaar albums.
