the band i was inspired by the most i would have to say was insane clown posse
a lot of people have an opinion about them but i have found that many of them don't realize what they are really about see the thing is, they hit me at a perfect time i was just about to give up music when i was about 14 or so.. then i found them and i couldn't believe how great they were i was so bored of music, the only kind of music i liked was rap, and rap-metal was big back then and i liked some of that also (for example: life is peachy from korn) my problem was i was tired of hearing rap always talk about shooting people and selling drugs and cussing in every sentence.. i couldn't relate to anything they were saying and the whole scene just annoyed me.. there was no creativity or originality (this was when the bling era started) then i found icp and it was an alternate universe.. all of their music fit into this imaginary world they created.. the whole thing is like one big vivid image of a place where justice is served and no wicked criminal gets off to save time i'm gonna talk about a few of the main things about icp 1. their music appeals to outcasts in general in high school i was like the only black guy in my whole grade sometimes, so i could relate to that outcast mentality 2. icp is strongly against racism this also appealed to me because i have hated racism for as long as i could remember 3. icp is HILARIOUS i think one of the main ways to get someone to like you is to make them laugh.. if u actually sit and listen to some of their stuff chances are u are going to crack up at some point and listen to it again and again 4. icp is creative one of the most creative acts ever, if not the most creative.. to create all these vivid pictures and make them all make sense and play a part into one 6-album long concept is amazing 5. icp is violent, BUT see, icp is violent in their music but its normally one of two things, its either a funny joke or its justice being served to someone who is evil, like someone who beats their wife or someone who is rich and greedy, or racist, etc. etc. so there u have it, if it weren't for them i would probably have just given up music a long time ago.. i was just so tired of spending $16 on cds with nothing to offer except the beat for the single so they revived my love for music and inspired me a lot, they helped get me through age 14 to about 18 if anyone is curious as to what i would reccommend from them, i think the safest bets would be joker's cards 2-5 which would be ringmaster, riddlebox, great milenko, and the amazing jeckel brothers so icp gets the #1 spot for me, as for runner ups? tricky, dizzee rascal (just boy in da corner), the streets, and eminem i may do blogs about how these artists inspired me later on also.
