ICP vs FBI

Discussion

I know this is too easy to make fun of… but still…

[i]Horror rappers Insane Clown Posse have taken legal action against officials at the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation after their face-painted fans were added to the organization’s National Gang Threat Assessment list.

The group’s followers, dubbed ‘Juggalos’, were classified as a gang in the bureau’s 2011 update for exhibiting thug-like behaviour and undertaking alleged criminal activity. The report stated that most Juggalo-related crime is “sporadic, disorganised, individualistic” and involves “simple assault, personal drug use and possession, petty theft and vandalism”.

The findings infuriated members of the group, who threatened to take action over the allegations - and on Tuesday, their legal team filed papers against the FBI at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

A post on the band’s website reads, "Listen up, Homies! This is the biggest thing to rock the Juggalo and Juggalette universe… The Insane Clown Posse and (record label) Psychopathic Records have kept their word and filed a lawsuit against the FBI on behalf of the Juggalo Family TODAY!

"(The bandmembers) said they would be fightin’ for the family’s rights no matter how much time or money it took! And now today, September 25th, 2012, ICP and Psychopathic have made those promises a reality by officially filing their lawsuit against the FBI!

"The idea of calling the Juggalos and Juggalettes a ‘gang’ is straight up bullst. We are not a gang! We are a family! We come together for our luv (sic) of the Insane Clown Posse, Psychopathic Records, and our Juggalo pride. Can we take a fkin’ second to note that Jimmy Buffet’s Parrot Heads, Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters, Justin Bieber’s Beliebers, the Grateful Dead’s DeadHeads and many more haven’t been labeled as a gang?

“Really, this is the first time in the history of rock-n-roll that any music fans have been labeled as a ‘gang’ and that’s probably because it makes no damn sense! Juggalos are fans of music - not hardened, organized gang members! And that is why the Insane Clown Posse, Psychopathic Records, and their legal team are fighting for YOU!”[/i]

Yeah, but the KISS Army are properly classified as a cult.
Stands for Kids In Satan’s Service, you know.

As idiotic as ICP is, I totally support their decision to fight against this even larger idiocy.

Some people take the music way too seriously so it’s no surprise to me. But then again, I’ve heard that to “officially” become juggalo you have to pour a whole 2 liter bottle of faygo on yourself. For those who don’t know, faygo is a generic soda along the lines of shasta. I think ICP are endorsed by the company cuz I’ve heard them rap about it quite a bit. Yeah I like some of their stuff, bring on the hate. Most of ICP’s stuff is very violent. Hell, they even came under fire during Columbine! I don’t know if I’ve ever met a “true” juggalo, but the people I’ve met that really like this stuff are pretty retarded. My friends in freshman year were all into it for a little bit and ICP, Twizted, Dark Lotus, Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Anybody Killah were all they talked about. I liked some of it, but I was hella out of the loop. I just stuck to my Cradle Of Filth albums and did my own thing. Kinda embarrassing to say I liked COF at one point, but whatever. Not all of us are cool freshmen.

As far as the lawsuit goes, they’re gonna lose. Simple as that.

What exactly are they suing for? “Shredding the gang file”? “Don’t label us that”? “Give us money for slandering/libeling our fan base”?
wtf?

Time to resurrect the Soulfy thread methinks.

Haha! Maybe we can finally start a good Spin Doctors thread. Crazy Town? Gerardo?

Of course, I liked them when they were all hardcore punk death metal industrial turbo grind. You know, before Hollywood got to them.

I’ve got a killer Hootie and the Blowfish thread I’ve been itching to post…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaahhhhhhh… that’s a good one.

I’m pretty sure I mentioned this before, but I went to high school with a vampire rapper who has done a bunch of stuff with Psychopathic Records acts. The whole scene’s pretty retarded.

Personally, that’s my favourite part. While I’m not an expert, I’m pretty sure the US Government has a tad more cash than ICP and their record label. And they could draw this out for a long time…

I’m all for eliminating the white trash from society. But I highly doubt this will go far at all.

I don’t know man, ICP has a pretty big following now (and I don’t mean girth wise), nobody follows the government anymore.

I have recently become a juggalo and am really enjoying my new lifestyle.

My coworkers

If you thought juggalos were the bane of society’s existence before, watch this and see the truth of it all.

Me and a few of the guys were actually going to go to Gathering incognito and just EMBRACE the lifestyle to say that we’d stared down the maw of the beast and lived. Then funds fell through, hahah.

Next year.
