ICP: The meaning behind the Dark Carnival?
Okay, I downloaded this new ICP record for my brother for Christmas (The Wraith: Shangri-la). I didn't actually listen to it at all, but he had it on in his car today. For those that don't know the whole ICP thing, six of their records have supposedly been loosely related and referred to as the Jokers Cards. The first record said there were to be six, and some sort of message would be revealed at the end of the 6th. Now, you probably all know that ICP is pretty goofy horror rap, full of cut off heads and psychopathic killers. So, here we are in his car after going through all the bullshit of Shangri-la and we reach "The Unveiling".
I won't quote all the lyrics, but here's the important parts: Carnival of Carnage The Ringmaster The Riddlebox The Great Milenko The Amazing Jeckel Brothers And the Wraith Looks like we're all out of time, brother Everybody's out of time Fuck it, we gots to tell em All secrets will now be told No more hidden messages This is it ya'll Time's up Everything will be out right here No need for the reverse talkin The truth... Now we been told this Carnival shit has touched on many lives People have fuckin sworn to us they too can feel it inside What is it that draws you in? This magic that compels you? We've been waiting six fuckin Joker Cards to finally tell you The messages and hints were there, although, most never picked up on em We snuck em in subliminally with that wicked shit around em We mentioned more and more of this on every Joker's Card The bottom line, always the same, you ain't have to look hard We wickedly kick it, inflict it, you get it, get wit it, and then we don't preach it flat out 'Cause some ninjas don't wanna get wit 'cha They quick to forget 'cha without the hatchet and gat out So we rose the hatchet, do or die, now Juggalos standing tall After all six have risen, the end of time will consume us all! It ain't got nothin to do wit us! It ain't Psychopat-chic Records! All we're doing is bringing shit out to you; We in this together! Who's behind the Dark Carnival, the Gatherings, and the Hatchet? Who's behind Dark Lotus, the circus, and everybody at it? Who invented Juggalos, and Juggalettes, and fucking Faygo showers? What about that feeling you get when bumpin' our shit? Who's behind the Juggalo Powers? This ain't no fucking fan club! It ain't about making a buck! Don't buy our fucking action figures, bitch, I don't give a fuck! It ain't about Violent J, or Shaggy, the Butterfly, or 17 When we speak of Shangri-La, what you think we mean?! Truth is, we follow GOD! We've always been behind Him The Carnival is GOD; May all Juggalos find him! [May the Juggalos find Him] May the Juggalos find Him [May the Juggalos find Him] He's out there, He's out there We're not sorry if we tricked you [We don't care what happens now] We're not sorry if we tricked you [We swing our hatchets and we're proud] We're not sorry if we tricked you [Painted faces in the crowd] We're not sorry if we tricked you [The Carnival will carry on] He's out there [May the Juggalos find Him] He's out there [May the Juggalos find Him] We're not sorry if we tricked you [The Carnival will carry on] We're not sorry if we tricked you [The Carnival will carry on] We're not sorry if we tricked you [Painted faces in the crowd] We're not sorry if we tricked you [The Carnival will carry on] We hope you find Him (Yeah, He's everywhere!) We hope you find Him (I'm saying, He's anywhere!) We hope you find Him (Juggalos, He's out there!) We hope you find Him (Yeah, Yeah! Everywhere!) Come see the show, big top show Walk in and hang with the dead carnival Dead carny carnies, dead juggalos Walk in and hang with the dead carnival He's out there! (etc, etc) WHAT THE FUCK!!!!??! All the violence was in the name of God!? I think this is the best way to let their audience down, even better than Glass! Pretty fucking cool, no?

What do you hope fans get out of "The Wraith: Shangri-La" album when they get a hold of it?
Violent J: Shangri-la. I hope they get heaven out of it. I hope they get the message that that’s where they want to be. That’s my goal. That’s the whole goal of the six Joker’s Cards, man. That’s all it was saying. ‘Get your shit together, man.’ We’re just entertainers out here. We’re rappers. We’ve been telling it 10 fucking years. In this long-ass thing we say at the end, we do an unveiling. And I’m not gonna do the unveiling right now, but it’s on the Sixth Joker’s Card. It all makes sense. But the bottom line, the basic goal, is to see you in heaven. That’s it. The wicked shit is entertainment. That’s how we live, that’s how we like to laugh, that’s how we like our shit – wicked. But it’s goin’ down, man. They..... they're serious. Perhaps Juggalo really is a religion.

What, like I'm gonna buy him that shit? He's lucky I got him anything, the little shit.
I think differently now though. I've seen the way of the Juggalo and now love all hoes and hatchet rydaz!
