Juggalo Judgment

Since 2006, that southern hillbilly you all know and love known as Boondox had become a fixture on Psychopathic Records. With an LP and an EP under his belt, he was quickly building his resume on the label. Slowing down clearly wasn't an option, and so in 2008 he would put out his 3rd release on The Hatchet. Could Boondox continue honing his skills of his southern-flavored wicked shit? Does he open up and get introspective on early traumas in his life? Does he decide to take a backseat when it comes to songs of domestic violence? Find out the answers to these and more as we take a walk into the woods and throw a line into... Krimson Creek.

Holy fucking shit, we went to the fucking Gathering. We semi-joked about it 2 years ago, and yet it actually happened. Thanks to Psychopathic Records and Erik of ICP With We, we were able to participate in the Gathering Of The Juggalo Podcasts Live! No pressure for our first Gathering, huh? What we have here is the audio we recorded on site during that event, where we chatted with Juggalos about Gathering experiences, acts they were looking forward to, and even did some giveaways. Is there chaos all around us? Is Riddle Box a consistent favorite among us? Were the sound checks that happened 200 feet away from us really inconvenient? Find out as we chat up some Los and Lettes at the Gathering Of The Juggalo Podcasts Live!

The season of the Lotus is once again upon us. Miraculously not wanting to overdo it, Dark Lotus would return from its slumber, 4 years since their last outing, Black Rain. Things have changed since then. With the loss of ABK, only 5 petals would remain. New producers would need to step up to fill the shows from prior outings. Was this the Dark Lotus album Juggalos needed after the hiatus? Is this the most focused and on-track record that Dark Lotus would create up to this point? Does Mike change his tune on it being his least favorite album by the group? We find out the answers of these and more as we journey far and wide to discover... The Opaque Brotherhood.

It has finally been done. Mike said he'd do it months ago, but it took a lot of depression to finally make it happen: a Juggalo Judgment merchandise store has been made so you can rep your favorite Juggalo Podcast that isn't ICP With We! If you wanna be a walking billboard for us, head to storefrontier.com/juggalojudgment and cop a shirt or something! The classic JJ logo is the only thing available at the moment, but we already have plans for more designs in the future!

You should always exercise caution when you operate a motorized vehicle. I'm not sure how that fits into this description, but it's true. Anyways, Twiztid was supposed to go on tour in 2007 in support of their LP Independents Day, but for some reason that no one knows to this day, that tour had to be put on hold. In early 2008, they were able to tour the country far and wide, and they even brought a surprise in the form of a tour-exclusive EP.  We heard a little smidgen of it on the first Let 'Em Bleed, but here we get 7 tracks of demented goodness. Did Twiztid leave off some banger tracks from Independents Day? Are some of the alternate tracks better than what made the cut of that record? SHOULD THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF "FEEL ME" BEEN PUT ON A GREATEST HITS ALBUM THE LIKES OF WHICH NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN? These questions will be answered today as we head down to the nuclear plant and unleash some... Toxic Terror.

2008 would mark 16 years since ICP's Carnival Of Carnage, the de facto 1st release on Psychopathic Records, meaning The Hatchet would be turning 16. Remember your Sweet 16? Lots of kids had big parties, maybe they got a car or something. Well Psychopathic Records got a DJ! Shut up, I know DJ Clay has been around for a little bit before this, but let me have this for the joke, dammit. ANYWAYS, DJ Clay has already made his presence known on some other releases, but it's time to put himself on the map... with a mixtape primarily made of every other artist on Psychopathic. Does Clay nab some solid tracks that wouldn't make sense on other releases? Does he have solid flows of his own worthy of standing out? Does he do the best DJ Khaled impression this side of Detroit? Find out today as we cut 'em up and... Let 'Em Bleed... The Mixxtape, Vol. 1.

Today, June 26th, Mike turns 32. He could've been lazy and just said "fuck it, no new episode". But he didn't. He decided to grace you with his auditory presence. SO CHEER HIM. ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. Or just listen to this episode. That's cool. We got some info about this year's Gathering Of The Juggalos and Mike gets sappy at the end, so dive in!

As a reminder, please go to the link below and purchase the new track by Jigglz (with assistance from Schmeev and Erik). All proceeds go to The Trevor Project!

We've finally come to the conclusion of our "Shit We Missed". We laughed, we cried, Schmeev threatened to punch Mike in the skull repeatedly for forcing him to listen to these, but we made it. Today, we talk about a little-known album in Psychopathic's history. Prior to AMB's glorious win at GOTJ 2005 for an album contract, V Sinizter did it first. Unfortunately, due to a number of reasons, the album came and went with little fanfare. Mike was finally able to acquire a copy of this album, so it only made sense to try and find out just why Juggalos as a whole didn't gravitate towards it. Was V Sinizter still green as an artist? Did Psychopathic drop the ball in helping to nurture a fledgling album to be worth taking notice of? Did Mike see V Sinizter's set at Camp Xul and think he was cool as hell? The answers to these questions will be revealed here. Get your gear. It's... Hunting Season.

Mike was so damn excited about Camp Xul that there was no way he could wait to record the new Mike Check for it. So why wait? Mike grabbed his phone, and literally on the final night of the festivities, he got together with his Camp Crew of Robbie (TwiztidHistory/DoItForTheUnderground on IG), Blade, and Veronica to unpack everything from the weekend! This is a long episode, so buckle up! Apologies for the sound quality being on the low end; again, Mike just had his phone on him, so it pretty much sounds like an old JJ episode!

As mentioned at the beginning of this episode, please go to the link below and purchase the new track by Jigglz (with assistance from Schmeev and Erik). All proceeds go to The Trevor Project!
