fire, water, air and dirt / fukkin magnets / how do they work?

just trying to fuckin chill on ilx, not get broader attn is all.

FYI it might help if you had a screen name like "ilxor" you know. (Fuckin' screen names / how do they work?)

I HAVE met them at close of day
Coming with Faygo'd faces
From couch or desk among grey
Prefab suburb houses.
I have passed with a throwing of the horns
Or trite bitch-ass whoops,
Or have lingered awhile and formed
Trite bitch-ass whoops,
And thought before I had done
Of a rad Twitter hashtag or zing
To please my internet friends
Around the secret-board of the webforum,
Being certain that they and I
But lived where Faygo is worn:
All changed, changed utterly:
A Juggalo beauty is born.

That b...woman's days were spent
In ignorant music-board,
Her nights to meta went
Until her mind grew bored.
What girl more source of idyll
When, young and molto bella,
She posted then to WDYLL?
This man had kept a tumblr
Where wing was shopped to horse;
This other his helper and stan
Thought ICP weak sauce;
One might have won fame in the end,
Until his domain was creamed,
Until his idea was ill-bought.
This other man I had dreamed
A wanton, suggest-ban-clad sort.
He had done most bitter wrong
To some who are near my heart,
Yet I number him in the song;
He, too, has affirmed his part
In the circus of regret;
He, too, has deemed magnets unknown,
Cellphone pelican-met:
A Juggalo beauty is born.

Hearts with one purpose alone
Through summer and winter seem
Enchanted to a crow
Niagara Falls, the Pyramids, clean
And pure, fukkin rainbows, ghosts
The midnight coast, Frisco Bay
Pure motherfukkin magic, right?
The miracles of every day;
Plant a seed in the ground
And watch God spring it;
A Dark Carnival's found,
And fifteen thousand mosh within it;
The fukkin shooting-stars dive,
And UFOs come to call;
Spring it, and sprung bitches thrive:
Violent J's in the midst of all.

Too great a miracle
Can turn a face into heart
Or make Posse from people
That is Heaven's part, our part
To murmur lyric upon lyric,
As a motherfucker names his verse
When sick beats fall sick
On words that sick souls nurse.
What is it but magic, yo?
No, no, not trick but truth;
Was that pelly wearin' Faygo?
For bitches be uncouth
About all that is blogged fo' sho'.
We know their dream: crack
Or they dreamed of the midnight coast;
And what if excess of wack
Bewildered them till they died?
I write it out in a verse -
Maclean, oh Maclean
And Krawczyk and Momus
Now and in time to be,
Wherever paint is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly:
A Juggalo beauty is born.

awesome sure lj but fyi faygo is a drink

dude!

for some reason I was lumbering under the assumption that Faygo was the facepaint - please read it that way :/

and yeah it is a drink. but

He, too, has deemed magnets unknown,
Cellphone pelican-met:
A Juggalo beauty is born.

a+

or maybe it's funnier if it sounds like they splash themselves with drinks as costume

the farty beatboxing at the end of this tune is the icing on the lol cake.

if you think i'm the only person who shakes their head at your gucci fetish and your white whale vendetta against whiney for the one time a year ago that he mischaracterized gucci mane fans, then i'm happy to withhold my tame zings and let everyone else just laugh at your stubborn bullshit

im not mad at whiney about anything to do w/ whatever he said about gucci a year ago, im mad because his hipster fetish is making otherwise pleasant threads unbearable, today

i know it like "lol thats our whiney" but imo if dude wants to not be treated a condescendingly as icp fans then he should get called on contributing boring bullshit when he brings it up

"today"

"threads"

guys for fucking out loud take it someplace else

i'm so j0rd with the u.S.a

Just noticed this and had a good LOL.

deej, i'm not gonna get into this again and ruin this thread more. I'm just going to reiterate (for the very last time) that I merely the word "hipsters" as a place holder for a word that doesn't really exist that accurately describes the ilx/williamsboard/alt-weekly/brooklynvegan FUBU circle of content creation and consumption.

Everyone else knew exactly what I meant, I have no idea why you are being such a pedant or a butthurt or a whatever the fuck you're being about it.

In short, just chill; you're making a big deal out of nothing. If you want the last word, I'll let you have it. I'm officially out of this discussion

= **takes high road**

I was angry with my foe;
I am no hipster juggalo

i am suspicious of hipster juggalo rap, tbh.

FUBU circle

Everyone is aware that life is parodic and that it lacks an interpretation. Thus lead is the parody of gold. Air is the parody of water. The brain is the parody of the equator. Coitus is the parody of crime.

An umbrella, a sexagenarian, a seminarian, the smell of rotten eggs, the hollow eyes of judges are the roots that nourish love.

A dog devouring the stomach of a goose, a drunken vomiting woman, a slobbering accountant, a jar of mustard represent the confusion that serves as the vehicle of love.

^^ hipster juggalo georges bataille bringing it right dere

just went through the thread can't find the kubla khan one :( perhaps it was only in a vision I once saw/it was a juggalette maid/and on her 808 she played...

re: hipster juggalism, I can't believe ICP aren't self-aware about what they're doing.

And the Pelican begins to be avenged.

Faygo, faygo, every where,
And all the hipster boards did link ;
Faygo, faygo, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

Glad for two lines of Poison Tree

There's a one-eyed yellow pelican to the north of Khatmandu,

There's a little faygo stall below the town;

There's a broken-hearted Juggalo tends the grave of Violent J,

And the Yellow Pelican forever gazes down.

A juggaloaf and thou.

am really tempted to e-mail this thread to my romantic poetry TA :(

So I have a Juggalo on my caseload now. I found this out last week and managed to say "Oh so you're down with the clown, huh?" with a straight face. He whipped out his ICP wallet as proof that he is, in fact, down with the clown. So today I asked him how magnets work and he said, "IDK, magic?" I LOLd. Turns out he didn't know this song yet. Sent him home with instructions to view vid and report back with a detailed review tomorrow.

!!!

See if he likes our poetry.

I like that he knew the right answer without having heard the song.

Bloody teeth.. yuck.

And I don't wanna talk to an orthodontist

Always telling me to floss, getting me pissed.

I wonder how Violent J feels about the miracle of gum disease?

fuckin how does that work

jonah weiner weighs in.

i don't think this is a terrible song, silly lines excepted. "seeing miracles everywhere" is a common lyrical trope, and i like some of its lines (85000 people in one place, the fatherhood ones).

I've never thought ICP were terrible per se, just boneheaded, and this video is no different

Aren't they deliberately terrible, like the guy who plays Larry the Cable Guy?

They are deliberately cultivating this image, if that's what you mean.

i like the jonah weiner piece.

Yeah that was a good article. Couldn't access the linked Vice feature bcuz of workplace filter but i fucking despise vice so nm.

That Vice article is worth reading.

"They are deliberately cultivating this image, if that's what you mean."
right, and this image doesn't allow for them to put their full intellect on display. instead they play down to their crowd, and revel in it, like the weiner article says.

I said this upthread but several of their earlier songs have references to being straight-A goody-two-shoes before being claimed by the Dark Carnival

so.... do they know how magnets work, or...?
