Insane Clown Posse's Miracles song has lyrics that read, in part:

Insane Clown Posse said:
...
*********** magnets, how do they work?
I don’t want to talk to a scientist
Ya’ll **************** lying and getting me pissed
Solar eclipse and vicious weather

All the so-called "miracles" are easily explained with science, in some cases rather basic science, whether it be genetics, evolution, or skepticism. MTV decided to explain the "miracles" they sang about:
Insane Clown Posse's 'Miracles' Video Explained ‎
MTV.com
April 8, 2010
By James Montgomery

On Wednesday (April 7), a huge underground rap sensation debuted a brand new music video. No, it wasn't Kid Cudi, Gucci Mane or Wacka Flocka Flame — it was Detroit's own Insane Clown Posse, who dropped the clip for "Miracles," a track that comes from their most recent album Bang! Pow! Boom!
...
A Million Stars

Yes, they're amazing. But miracles? Hardly. Stars are actually just balls of hydrogen and helium, with a smattering of other elements (oxygen, carbon, etc) thrown in for good measure. They stay up in the sky because they're slowly orbiting around the center of our galaxy. Oh, and for the record, there are actually something like 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and more than 10 sextillion in the entire universe.

Long-necked Giraffes, Pet Cats and Dogs
We appreciate that Shaggy didn't waste time pondering short-necked giraffes (called Okapis), because **** those guys. Long-necked giraffes aren't really all that miraculous, though. They've been on earth for about one million years now, and they've got just as many vertebrae in their necks (seven) as any other mammal. Oh, and while it might blow your mind to consider the family cat or dog, they've actually been domesticated since at least 7,500 BC. And you can win their affections with treats, for crying out loud.

Crows. Ghosts
While it's true that both are scary, neither are actually miracles. There are some 40 different species of crows in the world, occupying all temperate continents (except South America). A group of crows is called a "murder." Counting Crows are just a band. Oh, and ghosts? They might not even be real.

The Boston Phoenix calls it the "worst song ever":

In Case You Didn't Already Think That ICP is the Worst Group of All-Time
The Boston Phoenix
Published Apr 08 2010, 07:30 PM


I won't waste more than a few minutes explaining why this is the most ridiculous song ever recorded, but I am a bit concerned to see that Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are essentially becoming hip-hop's answer to the Tea Party. This track, "Miracles," is about how science doesn't concern the Insane Clown Posse (or their fans, I suppose), and how everything that happens in the natural world is a stroke of "magic."

But in addition to lines like, " *********** magnets - how do they work?" - this the most vaginal **** you've ever heard from a few guys who are supposed to be wielding hatchets. Hasn't it always been foul enough that their fans have had to digest vapid lyrics and atrocious backdrops? Now they have to deal with overgrown midlife-crisis morons who are clearly watching Glenn Beck in their off time.

And a few weeks ago Martin Bashir described the group's music as by and for the "barely literate."

I read an article about this song on Cracked, where they made great fun of it.

ICP sucks, no two ways about it. And their fans are wayyyyy over the top. The slavish devotion to talent ratio is whacked.

So i am over the top? Funny, as a dyed in the wool icp fan i have never had anyone say that to me before.

The problem is , when people ( both fans and detractors) read their lyrics, or listen to 2 songs off of a c.d. and then make the assumption that Violent J And Shaggy 2 Dope are not characters. Joe Bruce and Ulster are portraying characters, not dissimilar to the Comedian of the watchmen fame. They also are not the only characters Joe and Joe potray.

The problem is , that this type of music, which is satire, gets taken at face value by certain people. Icp themselves have been expressing frustration at this, i suggest watching the full interview ( not the 9 minute version ) with nightline for a "in a nutshell" of their situation.

Miracles, while being their worst song by far, is not sitting in marvel at the action of a magnet. It is expressing that the characters they portray ( think of the Comedian if his personality was based heavily in detroit. )would have these feelings.

I can understand if icp isn't your thing, but your assumption that the song is made from a serious standpoint is wrong.

From the same c.d. lyrically, i am sure you would approve of Vultures is the title of the song, the theme is those who take from the gullible.

You wait for death to happen
You loot the bloody wrecks
You con the elderly (feebelos?)
Out of they penchant checks
You kick em when they down
You tell them God is coming
You work the lowly souls
Eight-hundred numbers running
You sell what you repossess
You clean them out they nest
You wait for them to try to rest
Then yank it out they chest
You sell them medicine
You make them think they need
You come around the flowers
But you's a dirty weed

Sorry 2 more things.

Do not get me wrong, i ******** hate juggalos. But there is a difference between a juggalo and an icp fan. Icp fans are fewer in number, true, but we can do things like type in standard english, and understand satire ( JCW is a great example, icp takes a bunch of washed up wrestlers, packs the stadium full of juggalos and makes MST3K style commentary on the action. Yet the juggalos, well they take it a bit seriously, which increases mine, as well as joe and joe's amusement.

And second, i made a mistake one day in which i did not look and made commentary on an article that was from the onion. Someone rightly replied in exasperation ( as per this does tend to happen with people hastily reading onion articles, without looking for the source.)

" The onion , THE ONION
This is satire from

THE ONION"

And the feeling behind that sums up my feelings on the mtv review.

Btw, since when is mtv looked upon with anything but disdain? If there is a network that isn;t going to understand satire, it would be them. They are the special ed of television.
 
"Worst song ever"?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. There are some pretty crappy songs out there.

"I stab people" is my favourite song. :D

I've met these guys a few times over in Detroit. A buddy of mine recorded at the same studio and we used to run into each other once and a while. Very nice guys. Plus the whole Marshall Mather thing is just funny.

I like their music for what it is. It all sounds kind of the same so I can understand why some people don't like it. But man is it good music to drive to. My ring tone is "What is a Juggalo" right now. If you're ever in Detroit on Halloween they throw the best party.
 
That song is vile. ICP are trying to channel Moby's "Natural Blues." Vomitous. Barely literate was a pretty good description. I think for flopping that bit of chimpery on mankind that ICP should be sentenced to a tour with Samwell. They can't play "Miracles" without Samwell doing "What What (In My Butt)" right before.

 
The following I hope was at least in the running.

Pink UFO music video released to support Denver Extraterrestrial Affairs Commission ballot initiative (which is on the August 2010 ballot) and expose suppressed cancer cure from extraterrestrials.




Pink UFO, Pink UFO
What truth do you know?
What do you know?

Pink UFO, Pink UFO
What truth do you know?
What do you know?

Politicians we're coming with a Pink UFO
Because you think we don't know, that were really not alone
And about the cancer cure you've been hiding for years
You dont care about the people losing money is your fear
People die, children cry, when governments lie
We all know there are UFOs in the sky

This writer has got to be from around here. The Tea Party are from LaSalle and the general consensus around here was that they sucked. They were playing big shows in Australia and couldn't fill a bar here. Jeff Martin went all rock star and started wearing puffy shirts. We'd see him at the gas station pumping gas in his moms cars and make fun of him. Sad thing is the Tea Party really did suck. When they started saying they were from Toronto we couldn't have been happier. Next time I see any of them I'll have to remember this article. I think with a couple phone calls we could actually book an ICP/Tea Party battle of the worst bands ;)
 
Put the autocensor through it's paces: (missing words rhyme with stuck, and spit)

"**** The World"

[Violent J]
****. **** this ****.
**** givin it to me.

[Chorus:]
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
Sya **** the world! (**** the world!)
If I only could I'd set the world on fire
**** em all! (**** em all!)

[Violent J]
**** you, **** me, **** us
**** Tom, **** Mary, **** Gus
**** Darius
**** the west coast, and **** everybody on the east
Eat **** and die, or **** off at least
**** pre-schoolers, **** rulers

The rest of the lyrics can be found here, but quite obviousy, this link is NSFW.

The Tea Party - "Heaven Comes Down"



Lunch comes up.

ICP vs Tea Party battle, Samwell mc's. I envision ICP's Violent J beating The Tea Party's Jeff "Jim Morrison? I Have No Idea What You're Talking About." Martin's head thirty times with a microphone while Samwell asks the crowd if anybody is going to do it in his butt.

wiki on ICP said:
On November 16, 1997, Bruce was arrested on an aggravated battery charge after allegedly striking an audience member thirty times with his microphone at a concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bruce was held for four hours before being released on US$5,000 bail. The January 1998 issue of Spin magazine ran a four-page cartoon lampooning Insane Clown Posse and Juggalos, claiming that the group was offensive "not for their obscenity, but for their stupidity." Spin likened Insane Clown Posse's stage act to "a sort of circus karaoke" and portrayed the group's fans as overweight suburbanites. On the group's website, Bruce responded to the article by stating, "I could give a **** less."

One question: When Violent J was beating the person in the audience on the head thirty times, who was counting?
 
This just in: ICP makes worst song ever. In other news, everything is normal!
