Thats all fine for Strange but these acts were sporting shaggy tats and hatchetmen charms and shit, chanting family. For the most part it was like open mic night for the first 2 hrs of the show, seemed unprofessional.
You ARE dealing with juggalos here, their unprofessionalism makes them "the shit in they eyes".
I never actually called myself a juggalo, but I was into psychopathics music bad for a year or so. I grew up, turned 16 and realized that a lot of the shit ICP is into and revolves their music around isn't at all grown up. It is kind of a shame to real down hip hop fans who listen to Tech to have to hear a lot of these psychopathic-style horrorcore rappers open for Tech.
BUT
Psychopathic has become family to Tech, and Violent J made damn sure he got paid for the gathering. From a business point of view, Psychopathic and all their affiliates are good for Tech N9ne, even if some of his fans would much rather have a lot less psychopathic influenced artists around him at some times. Juggalos are a very tight fanbase to have also, they'll rob kill and steal to get the cash to buy your album if you're a good artist they like a lot. And they're down for a long time and normal fans. I guess some people see them as kind of a joke, but Tech see's them for what they are and appreciates their loyalty.
