The Wraith: Shangri-La
Now, many of you know that I've listened to ICP for years (about 7 to be exact). For those of you that don't know what ICP is, this article should mean nothing to you, just skip ahead and read about how cool my pockets are. However, if you know anything about ICP at all, anything... read further.
ICP has always been known for being wicked and rapping about things that no artist really talks about. Their music talks about some pretty messed up stuff, but there is something behind it. ICP doesn't go out and kill people, they don't want to go out and kill people. In fact, I laugh at at least 1 lyric in every single one of their songs! They're clowns, they're supposed to be funny!
Anyway, they just released their 6th jokers card (or their last album in a series). They've been planning this CD for 10 years. It was supposed to really be perfect and have something that made it special... more than an album. Not many knew what, but just knew that it was going to be awesome. As soon as I found out the name of the album, I got a dictionary out. The Wraith: Shangri-La... A wraith is a ghost who often delivers a message. Shangri-La is a place of bliss and delight and peace, AKA the promised land. As soon as I found this information I immediately thought to myself, "I called it." But I kept quiet until the CD came out, I just wanted to be sure before I said a word. For years I had been saying that ICP was down with God in some way. They have always slipped lyrics into songs to hint at this. One of the biggest hints was, "We're all gonna die, but I'm not gonna fry." Anyway, on the very last song of the last Joker's Card, they said that God is behind everything with the lines, "The truth is, we follow GOD, we've always been behind him, the carnival is God and may all the juggalos find him." Wow. Believe it or not, the Insane Clown Posse follows God, and they're inviting all of their fans and followers to join them. We're talking about 10s of thousands of people that ICP is leading to the light...
I waited for this CD outside of Best Buy for 45 minutes on its opening day (November 5th), and since I've finished that last song, I've been in the best mood. I can't really explain it further... I just thought I'd let people know, that ICP rules, and still remains as my favorite band. (this is my roommate and i dressed like icp)
