ICP’S “HATE HER TO DEATH” MUSIC VIDEO DEBUT

     Holy shitballs, Juggalos! Have you seen the magnificent flavor that is ICP’s new “Hate Her to Death” music video? If not, peep that shit below right now!

     This may arguably be one of ICP’s most emotionally intense videos they have ever filmed and it couldn’t have turned out more fresh.

     The only thing that sucks is that this video was leaked to the Internet before an official release date had been

announced, so Psychopathic had to compensate by releasing the video prematurely. That was kinda stale but we’re proud as fuck of the “Hate Her to Death” video and know it will strike a personal chord with many viewers.

     Plus, it was directed by the fabulous Deka Brothers who not only also helmed the “Chris Benoit” video but they also took home last year’s MTV Video Music Award for Best Special Effects.

     Psychopathic and ICP are proud as fuck to work with such incredible, award-winning talent as the Deka Brothers, especially when the results are as stunning as they are in the “Hate Her to Death” video. Check it out below and for more video freshness hit up hatchetmantv.com!

FAMILY FOCUS: THE TRIALS & TRIBULATIONS OF JUGGALOS PT. 10

Dan K.
London

      Right. So, I live in the UK and one night me and my two Bros were just chillin at our local park until about six dudes came along and beat the crap out of us for wearing our juggalo jerseys.

      So they left us and we phoned the police and ambulance. The police got there and told us that we gotta go down to the station and started hating on us for our juggalo jerseys.

      We ended up spending the night in a cell and in the morning we were asked about any drug dealers we know and they searched all our houses for drugs and weapons and shit. There is so little fam in the UK, I don't see why they're thinking that we're a gang?

Sam H.
Redding, CA

      I have been forced to no longer

represent the artists I like from Psychopathic Records due to repeated profiling by Anderson Police Department, Redding Police Department, and Red Bluff Police Department simply for wearing "hatchet gear".

      I've been stopped multiple times for nothing more than walking down the street. I'm then questioned about gang affiliation and talked down to about my choice of attire. When asked why I get pulled over I get a vague answer such as "you fit the description of a suspect".

      I'm a culinary arts/ business major at Shasta College, one of the most successful former foster youth in the area, and about as gangster as a care bear.

      I've been listening to Insane Clown Posse since I was 4 years old so of course I'm going to represent the music I love. It's saved my life on multiple occasions when all I wanted to do was die. It was my light in the darkness and I shouldn’t be punished for supporting it.
