Yup. They will sign a band/group/person to a multi album deal. Even Snoop Dog had to do about 7 albums for No Limit before he could walk LOL. That's why he was knocking out so many of those shitty albums. No Limit paid off Death Row. In return. Master P got a buch on throw away albums from Snoop.

Gotta have mad respect for these guys. They’ve always been real down to earth and just cool ass dudes. The fact that they’re still around, still playing shows, still putting out albums after nearly 30 years now! They’ve ALWAYS stuck to their guns, never quit, never backed down even in the face of ALL the HATE and disrespect they’ve received from the mainstream. (voted worst band from Rolling Stone) They’ve never let any of that steer them away from doing what they love. Love em or hate them just from a “success” mentality...ya gotta have respect for that. These dudes are legends in their own right.

[@RICO_SUAVE_86_]

It’s crazy to think that there was a point in time in history when ICP, Too $hort, E-40, Souls of Mischief, Britney Spears, and the Backstreet Boys were all on the same record label (Jive) at the same time lol 😂

[@drpandanomics3050]

R.a the rugged man - a star is born. is a song for you then

[@wallyhavoc860]

ICP wasn't on the label anymore when the teenie boppers showed up. They left in late 96 early 97. Brittney, Backstreet, N*Sync didn't sign with Jive until around 98 or 99. But the same label at some point in time nonetheless.

[@RICO_SUAVE_86_]

@@wallyhavoc860 I stand corrected. Now that you bring that up, in retrospect it is factual and makes sense, because I remember it was around 1999 when, if I'm not mistaken, ICP and Twiztid went to Island Def Jam Music Group (not to be confused with Def Jam which DMX, Redman, Ja Rule, Jay-Z, etcetera etcetera were on, but still kind of the same label anyways lol). I just remember from 1999 & up to about 2001 or 2002, when I would dig thru the crates at Tower Records I would see the Island Def Jam Music Group logo on the back of their CD cases. From 2002 & on they never really signed to another major label imprint again and distributed most or all of their music independently.

[@wallyhavoc860]

@PERSIAN BROTHA FROM THE BAY MOBBIN' They signed with Hollywood Records in 97 after Hollywood bought their contract from Jive Records. After Hollywood (thanks to Disney) pulled their album off shelves the day it came out, Island won a bidding war that was going on when Hollywood dropped them. They linked up with Twiztid not too long after they signed with Hollywood (You can see Twiztid in the back seat of the car in the "Hokus Pokus" video). Shortly after Psychopathic Records released Twiztid's first record "Mostasteless," and when they signed with Island, Psychopathic had to pull that record and come up with a re-issue. It's good to note that when ICP and Twiztid signed with Island, it was before they were bought by Def Jam and actually became the Island/Def Jam we've known for so long now. And you're right. 1999 through early 2001 were the Islands years. They did sign a distribution deal with Sony's D3 Entertainment after that for a few albums, but they've been primarily independent since they left Island. With new ownership came more scrutiny towards the clowns from label execs and how seriously the label took their music at that point and they basically let ICP's contract expire. They dropped 3 albums on Island along with 2 for Twiztid.

Most people that instantly conclude that ICP sucks, I can guarantee they have actually never taken the time to investigate their music to form their OWN opinion. ICP has a wide range of music, they're highly creative, and they've collaborated with other big artists such as Tech N9ne, Ice Cube, Snoop, Geto Boys, and so on. The fact that ICP is thriving more than ever is astounding, in spite of overcoming decades of ignorant hate from the public. These two are legends, and finally people are beginning to acknowledge this.

Prince was a world renown, highly talented musician. When he changed his name to that symbol, and had himself referred to as The Artist Formally Known as Prince, at the time it was played off like he did it as part of his “*aura of coolness*”, but in reality, it was because he was getting fucked by his label.

I still remember walking into Tower Records right as they were taking Milenko off the shelf. I tried to grab one still on the shelf and the part time punk told me I couldn't buy it. We got into a conversation on why and I was like, man, let me just snag one. Say I snuck it by you. (I wasn't a kid at the time. I was....let me do the math....I think it came out in 1997, so I was 23.) Part time punk said no, because rules. Well, damned if I'll take orders from part time punk. He was sitting on a stool where he was reorganizing the CD's, so the box was next to him with the Milenko's he took down. I snatched one and ran towards the counter. I wasn't really stealing it, I was just trying to avoid ego tripping part time punk. I was planning to pay for it. Part time punk decides he wants to flex some authority, so he calls security on me. Next I'm running from a really fat security guy (so it was easy to keep away) and after darting around a few shelves like it's a football game of me versus half of Tower's staff, I make it to the door and take off. So now I was a thief because I still had the CD. I was a thief of something I tried to pay for! Funny thing is three of the guy staff and fatty McSecurity guard continued running after me outside, around the parking lot. A very dedicated staff for this one CD. I lured them out far into the parking lot, doubled back and actually ran back into the Tower Records and laid the money down in cash for the CD on the counter for the fine ass goth chick working the register who just stood there cool and collected, a big smirk at watching everyone running everywhere, and I darted back out and escaped. (I'm a sucker for chicks dressing evil and rolling their eyes. But who isn't?) To this day I still have that CD. Ah, memories.

[@aprilshowers769]

How could you hate these guys it’s hard not to love ‘em

[@kenetik13]

Now I know why my homie is a juggalo

[@AG3N1US]

Yes! They mentioned ESHAM. I feel he’s gonna be next on here. I was already told that I was weird because I listen to artist like ESHAM and Triple 6 Mafia but I just appreciate listening to a variety of creativity. Their craft are essentially movies to me. That’s what I tell my friends who love gory horror films and romantic comedies at the same time. It’s just great to really see that Vlad is tapping in those roots where fans like myself wonder if others know of artists we listen to and not just what’s on the radio. I love underground music and appreciate their longevity despite no mainstream outlook.

so hilarious the speaker or whatever in the back left says Marshall lmaoo

That shaggy laugh at 14:26 😂😂

[@benasslick67]

These guys would've been bad ass characters on those Def Jam games

[@TJX313]

Thinking the same thing. They did do backyard wrestling 1 and 2. Chucklez from def jam did look like Violent J

[@Profound_Travelz]

For some reason I've been enjoying watching their interviews even though I don't know much about them or their music.

[@dr0ppazeti68]

just came to see all the haters from pt. 1 turned-fans 😂

[@DuggieDug111]

Lmao!! People hate what they don't understand. Once they understand them, they feel stupid for not giving them a chance. Well they missed out on the first half of their careers

[@dr0ppazeti68]

yup. just how marketing works. "first they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win" I can never remember who said that@@DuggieDug111

The realest niggaz, are the ones who stand up against the world, hussle, grind, and in the end, win. Props to the clowns, you don't get the respect, you so obviously deserve. It's a travesty.

DIVINE INTELLECT it’s hard for me to take two Niggas that look like spawn seriously

[@dtheengineer2746]

@@ma.cannon2849 Maybe you shouldn't judge people by how they look

[@trillfa9774]

DIVINE INTELLECT for me it was the other way around but yeah both groups are pretty awesome. I knew after hearing Body Parts In My Trunk off of the Chapter 2 World Domination album that they were gonna collab with ICP.

Almost 30 years after the first jokers card came out ICP is finally getting the PROPS they are owed they have been doing a shit load of interviews this year like here, sway in the morning ,hot 97, no jumper and more its beyond random but ive been a juggalo sense 98 and i would have hated this back in the day and be worried they where selling out as a adult and always used to not being recognized its awesome to watch this

[@headshot6402]

Get ready for the 37 part episodes of ICP

[@dustinschoemaker5268]

That's an awsome and hilarious story about getting all that money from different record labels. I remember when I was about 13 and I got my hands on the riddle box CD I swear I must of wore that CD out I listened to it so much. Then I went back and listened to all of their stuff, I've allways had mad respect for icp I still listen to their music sometimes and I'm 33 now. Nobody does the wicked shit like ICP.
