Interview by Nockturnal Nockturnal: wut up ninja HC Mike: whut up? Nockturnal: not much killa Nockturnal: Is it str8 if i ask u some questions? HC Mike: yeah, shoot Nockturnal: aite, kool Nockturnal: Who is this Paris guy on the hatchet Rizing tour? A lot of ninjas are skratching their head about this guy. HC Mike: Actually Paris isn't on the Hatchet Rizing tour, he came out to the Denver shows and chilled with ICP. He's an old school rapper that was very controversial back in like 1993 around the same time Ice T's "Cop Killa" was big news. ICP grew up listening to his shit, and he kinda sounds like Esham. He's part of the Black Panthers and shit as well. However, nothing has been finalized between him and Psychopathic as of yet. Nockturnal: Thatz str8 Nockturnal: Also, this is a question people have wondered for a long ass time..What does 17 mean? Is it related to in the Exorcist 3 when she confesses to the priest "17 dead"? HC Mike: That's a good question and I wish I had the answer for you, but much like the butterfly, the Necronomicon and other mysterious things that ICP have done in the past the number 17 remains unexplained. Perhaps J will elaborate on it in the future, but for now nobody really knows except ICP. Nockturnal: alright then, onto the next question.. Is it true about Twiztid starting their own record label, or is that all just speculation? HC Mike: Actually there were plans being made back during the Freek Show tour for Twiztid to start up their own label. However, things never went past the initial stages and that has been put on the backburner for now. At the moment Twiztid are ready to get back in the studio and record some new shit. They want to do either the Black Majik album or possibly a new Twiztid album. That's why we currently have a poll at RJ asking the juggalos what they wanna see first. Based on the outcome of that poll Twiztid will do one of either first and then follow up with the other album. Nockturnal: Nice answer, it answered my next question in the process Nockturnal: Do you know what the real dealio wuz with Marz and I.C.P.? Also, when will the new "Real Version" on Dark Lotus be out? HC Mike: As far as Marz and ICP go the whole beef was basically what they talked about on ICP's website. Marz and his people were using the juggalos to gain popularity and record sales rather than being about the family. Shit back when Marz started opening on the Bizzar/Bizaar tour he didn't even know anything about ICP, but all of a sudden he claims to be down and shit. He took advantage of the situation like most people in the music industry tend to do. The "real version" of Dark Lotus should be out sometime soon. I don't have a street date or anything for it, but I know Anybody Killa laid down his vocals for it and it's probably in the process of being mastered now so look for it soon. Nockturnal: Thatz fresh. Are I.C.P. kool with Anybody Killa or is he more or less just Twiztid's homie? HC Mike: ICP are very cool with Anybody Killa, they are hanging out a lot more with him on this tour since he' s riding on their bus and shit. He also comes out on stage during their set on the Hatchet Rizing tour to throw Faygo and all. So he's becoming a part of the family more and more everyday. Nockturnal: Thatz kool as hell. Did they start writing or thinking about the new Rydas record? I know they have Anybody Killa on the next one as Sawed Off, but did they work on that any further? HC Mike: Naww they haven't started on anymore Rydas shit yet. Right now J has been trying to get his book finished up and shit, and like I said before Twiztid are getting ready to hit the studio, so they got other projects going on at the moment. Nockturnal: Hell yeah. Is another JCW tour gonna start anytime soon? Whut is really rite number one on the Psychopathic Record Agenda? HC Mike: I wouldn't expect to see another JCW tour for awhile. ICP is pretty much done with wrestling for now. The Psychopathic agenda is always changing so there isn't anything that's on top of the list at the moment. Everybody's out on the tour right now and got their own plans and shit. ICP might be doing another tour starting in January, but nothing has been finalized on that yet. With Blaze's new album out we're trying to get that out there and promote it like crazy cause that shit is the atom bomb. He also wants to do his own tour sometime in the future, but that's a little ways down the road. Back at the Psychopathic offices they are working on getting everything ready for Hallowicked right now, and I know Jump Steady is always on top of getting things ready for next years Gathering as well. Plus the era of the 6th Joker's Card is approaching rapidly so get ready for that shit. Nockturnal: Because Juggalo-empire.com is a Wisconsin based webpage ya gotta tell me, is there any exclusive freshness set just for Wi Juggalos. Like at the street team date. Madison show? I.C.P. is currently banned from milwaukee, so is there anyway they're gonna try to work around that and still keep the milwaukee juggalo scene a strong, happy one? HC Mike: They don't got anything planned exclusively for the WI scene yet. Like you said though they got the Street Team coming there in the next month, and Hatchet Rizing on Nov. 3rd in Madison. So you know they always try to bring the flavor to the juggalos in WI regardless if Milwaukee bans them or not. They'll always find somewhere to play so those playa hatas can fuck off. Nockturnal: Hell yeah, thatz whut i am sayin'. Juggalos will never die and let's leave that as our final word. Mike I'd like to thank you for this interview and give ya mad props for being the first interview for J-E.com. you are a real juggalo. thus, you work at realjuggalos.com HC Mike: Hey no problem muthafacko, just got keep reppin' the hatchet till I'm in that casket. One love to your site and all the juggalos worldwide. |
