Here I sit looking back on where we’ve been and what we’ve done. We’ve been at this ever since I was 14 and Lawrence was 18. Trying to find out where we fit. At 18 I teamed with Lawrence and we didn’t know what we wanted to do. I just wanted to help Lawrence on his journey to being on the radio. We did that for about a year and then we got a little more serious. I set out to educate people on what was going on. I wanted just like the line says Exploit the Ignorance of Humanity. I hate what America has come to. We’ve gone from a country that was meant for all people no matter skin color or where you’re from you have rights. Now look at us; a bill was just passes saying that if the government thinks you’re a terrorist you can be detained without a trial. So much for the 4th amendment. When we are young our parents say that you can be whatever you want to be. The problem is that now as a tagline to it parents just don’t have the heart to say to their kids. “You can be president, if you have enough money.” Now I relies that you need money for a campaign but when the fuck did you need to be a millionaire to be the voice of the people? When did I have to make millions to make sure that our freedoms, the very principles of this nation were upheld? It’d no longer who has the best ideas; it’s who has the most money.
When Lawrence and I started this in 2009 we didn’t set out to be famous we did it to have fun and if you liked what we were doing great welcome to the fam if not then fuck off. That is what I feel right now. On Tuesday, January 17, 2012 something happened that we wanted from the start. I wanted to see if we were good enough in the eyes of Bubba “The Love Sponge” Clem and what did he think? He thought it sucked and called me an asshole. Well takes one to know one fat ass since you were one the people we idolized to get this going. I know realize that I never needed he’s approval. We have people who like what we do and to those people I say thank you and to the Bubba the love sponges of the world fuck you. I would like to thank Violent J of Insane Clown Posse for helping me realize that.
Lawrence and I are like ICP in many ways. When they started they just wanted to have fun and sell records if you liked what they did then great and if you don’t then you could eat a dick. On the date that their first album Carnival of Carnage dropped it sold 17 copies. When we started we barely had anybody listening to us. They kept at it and now look at where they are. I’m not saying that we’ll ever be that successful but we are getting a following now and it only took 2 years. Who knows tomorrow we could be famous with the facebook page blowing up and we could make all kinds of money. Then again tomorrow I wake up and nothing changed and that’s just fine. We could never strike it famous but at the end of the day we had fun and that’s what it’s all about. I will keep doing this until I stop having fun. That could be 2 weeks from now that could be 2 years from now but right now I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing and if your down then welcome and if you’re not fuck you we don’t need you there’s plenty of people that do like what I do.
Thank you
