ICP VS FBI

[Rata-tat-tat]

I was introduced to ICP back in the 90's...  They are not a group I would pay to see, but for a rap group I found some of their trax pretty damn funny... Especially when they write about  Eminem. Over the years I've gaind a fair amount of respect for their pursuit of making it in the music bizz... They have literally circumvented the entire industry and built a money making empire against all odds. The FBI... in an attempt to shut them down... has gone after the fans of ICP labeling "Juggalo's" as a gang... The mainstream media is not reporting much about the topic which is pretty damn scary. To my knowledge no one has ever received such a kick in the keester as ICP has with FBI... ICP Is now sueing the FBI ...IMO this is one of the newsworthy events in the history of music... It should be headlines world wide...I will be watching this closely... SITTM ICP...and good on them for sticking up for their fans.

so its not a publicity stunt then?

Publicity is publicity, but I believe being "Hoovered" is not a cool thing. If the FBI is truly labeling certain rap fans as a gang, that is not in the best interest of our tax dollar.

Crips / Bloods, East Coast / West Coast.  Did the FBI give Deadheads this much trouble? What about Phishheads?

Dont forget them Parrotheads.... You know how crazy them college kids can get when theyre wasted away in Magaritaville

Ok... so it looks like they got someones ear... maybe from all the youtube hit's they got from their gathering video (Very Smart)... They still haven't announced a date... but that may take a while or it may never happen... Either way... It affects the entire music industry. Imagine if the FBI did put all listeners of Country music on the "Gang Activity" list... There'd be a lot of Beach Nut spittin goin on... you could put someones eye out with that shit!!!
