Well I think with Tech it could go two ways. Yes with the fans he has now the Juggalos do make up a big percentage in his sales and have helped him become the biggest independent artist but I also believe if Tech would have never had the Juggalo family on his side then he would have had more black fans and would have been excepted faster into the mainstream world. Either way though Tech has made a big accomplishment. Anyways I don't really think how he's gotten to this point is all that important anymore, it's where he goes from here!!!!

Thats a bold statement and I have to disagree homie Juggalos do make a good number probably but we will never know for sure.But 75% no way thats streching it a bit.Besides most of us Lo's are broke anyway lol.

i just wonder how has icp helped
aesop rock, cannibal ox, atmosphere, el-p, jedi mind tricks, el-p, cage, brotha lynch, immortal technique, etc.
i think those artists have alllll done their shit without icp. and have succeeded more then them even if they dont have a bunch of kids running around dressing like clowns busting nuts whenever they here their name n shit.
just saying
think b4 you say stupid shit

Hell no man. After Bizarr/Bizzar the Juggalo's died down, people grew out of it, at least they stopped buying ICP albums, they had gotten three Gold albums then started going platinum, then the Bizarr thing came and they lost it all.

Sure they may make up a portion, but they aren't the majority. Bang Pow Boom sold 100,000 copies so far, Absolute Power sold 250,000.

those were released from different times tho... these days it's hard for major label artists to sell 200k in the first week now...
it's way harder to sell units now, because billboards don't count internet purchases, which is a large part of sales.
not to mention downloading music for free is a large part too

he said "JUggs"

Maybe alot of juggs as u call them dont come on this site beacause all they feel from this website is hatred.

The Crazy Englishman! said:

It's doubtful that's true, first take into consideration not everyone buys albums. even if they religiously buy ICP's they may not buy other albums. Then think about the fact that not every Juggalo likes Tech, KMK etc, just like with Tech fans who only buy, and some only listen/buy, Strange releases... You can even see on this website, there are more non-juggs than there are juggs so... It's obvious they are a part of the underground but 75%? I doubt it man...
Don't respond with some 'Fuck you, you're just closed minded, WHOOP WHOOP' bullshit, if you are gonna respond, please try and be intelligent =].

Yeah I know that but Tech has explained numerous times how his connection with the juggalos has scared away a lot of black fans. I guess it was really the combination of the two, his content in his music and his relationship with the juggalo nation. It for sure didn't help with what people already labeled him as, a devil boy!!

Truth

Juggalos might scare people away from shows but ive never went into Best Buy and seen juggalos scaring niggas away from the cd rack.


Slegna88 said:

U blame him not havin black fans on juggalos ne Tech interview ive read or seen he talks on Anghellic and all his dark shit that scarred em away, hes also mentioned the crazy hair and face paint. Sounds to me like juggalo characteristics of Tech as a person that scared em away, and no im not sayin hes a juggalo u could substitute Strange in place of juggalo if u like lol.And if u got a link where he blames juggalos for his fuckin problems with his own people i'd love to see it and be proved wrong.

Fucks sake people... I get that not everyone is gonna like Jugg's, I don't really like them... but, even though they are all 'family' and a lot of them make being a Juggalo a huge part of their lives, they are still individuals, yeah, a lot of the Jugg's I've come into contact with have been complete cunts, but I've talked to some proper chill ones too. Judge the person, not their 'label'. The amount of times ive seen Technicians start shit with people because they think someones more talented than Tech, some of you are no better than them. And anyway, most people are cunts so its only natural that some Jugg's are gonna be too. Chances are I'm a cunt, you're a cunt and they're a cunt anyway.

see your doin exactly what you talk shit about. your running your mouth acting like a hardass...why dont you just buy what you buy, support what u support, and leave everyone else alone. yes, there are alot of juggalos that do dumb shit and seek attention, but there are also civilized ones, like myself. it pisses me off that you people rant about how were all the same, and it aint even like that. you see one thing about a person who claims to be a juggalo robbin someone with their face painted and call all of us a bunch of fags. yes it makes me mad to when you go someplace and u see someone that is wearing psy merch and theyre making a scene and doing it in the name of ICP, fuck them. they are doing that shit in their own name and noone else shoujld be judged for it. im sure theres mad tech fans that rob people, kill ppl, yada yada. n tech paints his face so whats up? im sure theres people that are runnin around claiming to be bloods in the name of tech n9ne doing dumb shit too, but you dont hear about that.

the point is that it shouldnt be divided between which part of the underground your with. theres psychopathic, tech, KMK, etc. and its all one big movement. they all work TOGETHER. and if your trying to seperate the music that already seperated itself from the mainstream, then maybe your on the wrong side of the sewer. cause all your speakin is hate.


and i have almost every single ORIGINAL psy album, and im always preordering stranges shit. yes this only speaks for me, but again here you guys go again with hating shit saying we bootleg everything. I really wish everyone would just listen to what they want to and accept that the people your talkin shit about are feelin the same kinda music as you. it doesnt matter if juggalos are 75% of the fan base or 7.5% of it. were there, and we aint going no place, just like you aint expected to either,

I try not to have hate for anyone, but juggalos just flat out suck!!! Ever since i was in high school they've just been attention craving, drama full, pissed off douche bags! Every juggalo ive ever met thinks they are the baddest mutha fucker on earth! NEWS FLASH JUGGALOS...MOST NORMAL PEOPLE THINK YOUR A COMPLETE JOKE!!! They always wanna stir shit up and try and put people down just to do it. Thats why at my high school, A group of my friends and I beat the fucking shit outta a group of 8 or 9 juggalos one day! Needless to say they didnt wear they're make up to school anymore. They go out in public looking like circus clowns...not KC Killa Clowns(BIG DIFFERENCE)...and think they can say and do whatever they want cuz they are bad ass juggalos. WRONG!!! Mix in a little bit of red blood with that face paint and you dont look so tough!!! And i find it funny that they never have anything to say when there is any less than 5 of them in one place. Only reason tech gives love to the juggalos is cuz he likes makin money and they'll buy his shit. But i HIGHLY doubt that they make up 75% of tech's sales dumb ass! Go suck Faggot 2 Dope and Silent Gay's dicks...PLEASE!!!
