Uh Oh, My Ninjas, Dad Discovered Horrorcore

Obviously, horrorcore is the worst, and people who paint their faces like genuine actual garbage clowns are hilarious. But somehow I feel so defensive of horrorcore while watching this segment. You leave horrorcore alone, you old, out-of-touch neden holes! With your silly, Specs Howard voices and your casual, racist insinuations that rap music and gang violence are inextricably linked. Then again, when that guy from Kung Fu Vampire (See you at New Moon tonight, bro!) uses a junior high school-caliber epiphany to turn the whole thing back on the news team by explaining that the mainstream media's reporting of violence makes the evening news the grandfather of all horrorcore (WHOOOOOA), I quickly went back to hating the people in the horrorcore scene. So, I guess I just hate everyone in this segment. (Thanks for the tip, Rana and Kim.)

That ain't horrorcore. THIS is hardcore horrorcore.

Typical biased media only focusing on the negative: murder, rape, drugs. etc. No mention of all the seminars on murder, rape, and drugs.

I don't really care one way or the other about horror core. To each his own, I say. But Ken Bastida should win the Pulitzer Prize for Irresponsible Journalism.

Ken, you Bastida, I mean you Bastard.
I hate this music. It's trash. And I Dislike and AVOID people that readily self-identify as juggal/(os/ettes).
But as much as I look at Mars in his lecter mask and laugh at it all, I have to agree with his point.
This is music, and as jacked as the lyrics are, to try and attach music to murder is always dangerous and foolish.
People that are simple enough to commit murder because a song says so were likely going to commit murder somewhere along the line - they are just looking for some(one/thing) to set em off anyway.


All that said, if someone listens to this and likes it they likely ARE Retarded. The general public at large usually has no appreciation of nor the ability to understand that music and it's accompanying art forms (videos, promo work, stage personae) can be very powerful whether or not you are paying attention. A lot can be embedded and transmitted to youth and weaker mind states, and messages covert and overt make their way across. This combination of factors in the music itself and the fanbase it attracts is seriously fucked up.

I think that guy Kung-Fu Vampire just combined his two favorite things to arrive at his Horrorcore name. So, if I became a Horrorcore artist my name would be High Life Masturbate.

Anyone else care to play?

Also, Karate Vampire totally stole one of his record titles from a Simpsons reference so the Simpsons are telling other people to murder people? This is all starting to make sense. Helter Skelter, you guys.
