adamlikesmusic Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 http://psychopathicrecords.com/hatchetherald/100423/index.html We at the Hatchet Herald are more than aware of the buzz that the Insane Clown Posse's “Miracles” music video has been creating across the internet and television. Come on, when something gets picked up by multiple websites (Mtv.com, Slate.com, Cracked.com) and one of the biggest television shows of all time (Saturday Night Live), it’s kind of hard to miss that. But what we want to know is how the Insane Clown Posse themselves, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, feel about all the hoopla? What do they think about the mixed responses they’ve been getting on this music video which, at the time this article is being released, has reached well over one million views on YouTube? So, we decided to go straight to the source. We asked Violent J himself, one half of the wicked clown duo, what he thought about the whirlwind of coverage that their latest music video has been getting and what he has to say to all the supporters and naysayers. We recieved this statement: I don’t know what Webster’s definition of the word “miracle” is, but we’ve always thought it meant something fuckin’ amazing and incredible. A fuckin’ special, awesome event of some kind. A great, wonderful thing. A fuckin’ miracle. The song “Miracles” is classic ICP. Our listeners know we’ve always included one or two deep, meaningful songs on our albums, we’ve just never made a video for one until now. It was a good idea, obviously, ‘cause it’s got people talkin’. The truth is it don’t make us mad to see all the hate “Miracles” gets from the mainstream. We’ve been “The Most Hated Band in The World” for many years. Without all the hate on the outside, it wouldn’t be as warm as it is on the inside with the Juggalo Fam. Instead, all the hate “Miracles” generates makes us sad. Sad for the haters. I mean, yeah, we get it. It’s funny to people on the outside lookin’ in, seeing two clowns rapping about space and shit, while floatin’ around in an orgy of screen savers. And SNL’s parody was off the hook hilarious. But when you step back and really look at all the genuine hate it got from everyday people, it’s hard to believe that so few got it. Yes, most of the miracles we mention can easily be explained away by science, that’s why we say the line “fuck scientists.” Their factual findings sometimes explain away the Earth’s cool mysteries. Part of me wishes they werelying. Part of me doesn't want to know how they really make crop circles. My imagination wants to believe it’s aliens or somethin’. If people can’t relate to that, then that’s their loss. I mean, seriously, it must truly suck to have no imagination about these things. Us Juggalos have deep imaginations, and an awesome sense of humor. As for the infamous line, “fuckin’ magnets… how do they work?” Magnets were like magic to me as a kid. You could move things across the table without actually touching them! I found that shit amazing and I still do. If you don’t like that, have a dick for dinner. As for the sun and the stars. Who looks up into the sky and doesn't wonder sometimes? Come on, man, I fuckin’ straight up feel sorry for anybody that can look at the moon the trees, and the seven seas, and not see fuckin’ miracles. It’s not about religion either. Nature itself is a miracle. Stand toe to toe with the ocean at night and tell me that shit ain’t amazing. We appreciate all this shit. Especially a yellow ass, long neck giraffe. What’s a shame is how people walk around blind to it all. They lost their spirit about everything. If you can’t even see the miracle in animals, then you must have never truly loved a pet. That has to suck for you. Maybe you mother fuckers should relax that wound up, extra tense bitch ass of yours for a minute and go smoke a joint or somethin’. Be an individual, step out and away from the flow of the crowd. Take a time out, open up ya mind and then peep the giraffe. Try to appreciate some of these miracles, bitch. What’s a miracle is the fact that some people haven’t recognized by now that Insane Clown Posse will never die. ICP will go down in history as an independent music miracle. Get used to these ugly faces. MMFCLJ. Violent J The Happy Clown Serial Killer P.S. - We feel like these haters are the big dumb, popular jocks ganging up on the little class clown scrub. When they have no idea the scrub is really a highly skilled, deadly, ninja assassin capable of cleaning their fuckin’ clocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japes Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 it’s hard to believe that so few got it. Really, Violent J. Really? As for the complete response itself, I found it really funny. Not in a bad way. I'm not hating on the video at all. I'm really glad it exists. It's fucking hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcm1610 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 For the most part I found his response alright until the PS. Then it got ridiculous. You don't have to agree with his logic, but it IS one way of looking at the world. In a childish wishfulness, everything does have a magical "that's so badass!" feel to it. Another way of putting it is "ignorance is bliss", but whatever. Not to defend ICP, because everything ELSE they've done has been a joke, too, but in a skewed point a view, they have a point.

mattisr1984 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 i think most people "get" the song the way violent j is referring to it-- they just still found it funny. his response wasnt that half-bad but it could have come across much more articulated if he didn't use "fuck" and "bitch" every other line. nothing like perpetuating your own stereotype.
