Juggalo Judgment

Ep. 96 - With Us Or Against Us by Motown Rage

679.

 

It's a weird number, huh? It ain't 17 or anything like that. It's nothing super significant. So what's 679? It's the amount of days between official Juggalo Judgment episodes. I know. I asked Google. After a hiatus that was far longer than either of us expected, we're back.

 

And we're talking about Motown Rage.

 

Sorry and shit.

 

Motown Rage is a rock band from Detroit that supported ICP at a number of shows and tours, and so it was clear that they needed to join The Hatchet, but not The Hatchet proper. Signing to Hatchet House, we get Psychopathic's 2nd attempt at having a rock group for the Juggalos, only this time without Violent J writing writing the entire album, and it's definitely leaning more towards the nu-metal vibe. Does Sadistic have a sick flow? Does Razor Ray still have a voice after yelling for an entire show? Are you happy that we're back? Well that's for you to decide, because you're either... With Us Or Against Us.

SB 14 - Frizzle Fry by Primus

I was born in the year 1990, so it's a pretty important year for me. For people who were already thinking beings at the time, it was important for plenty of other reasons, like the Hubble space telescope launch, Nelson Mandela's release, the invasion of Panama, and the release of the first studio album by alt/experimental/funk band Primus, Frizzle Fry.

SB 12 - Dog Problems by The Format

I like to think of myself as a fun guy, but today we're taking a look at the fun. guy, Nate Ruess. Back before he Some Nights'd and We Are Young'd his way into our hearts, he had this band that all the Ruess heads tell me is the REAL shit. Today I'm joined by one of these Ruess heads to finally confront The Format's 2006 release Dog Problems.

SB 11 - Kezia by Protest The Hero

This year I've found myself on the opposite end of the Schmeevburger experience, as I have returning guests bringing albums to me that I've never heard before! This week we'll be traveling back to hear how a band feels about the increasing influence of the religious right in American politics through the mid 2000s with Protest The Hero's concept album Kezia.

All the love to Erik for joining me, go listen to ICP w/We and Fukkfaace and other projects he's done at www.icpwwe.com!

Schmeev’s AXEcellent Adventure - Alla Xul Elu, Mauxuleum

With the church up and running the Xul boys have been doing so much work in the community! I sure hope nothing happens in the very beginning of Mauxuleum to derail that!

Mike, please tell us all about Ma's Linoleum and why AXE got Monoxide on a track for a singing chorus.

Schmeev’s AXEcellent Adventure - Alla Xul Elu, Church Of Xul

We're goin' to church! Crack open your bibles and feast upon the nut within as we go on a little hike to see how these AXE boys handle their first EP with this Lee Carver guy!

In 2019, Majik Ninja Entertainment was ready to release one of their biggest albums to date in Twiztid's Generation Nightmare. But on that very same day, Ninjas and Xuligans were also treated to a new project from the blasphemous trio of Alla Xul Elu. With their style of dark, sacrilegious rap, the group would continue to flesh out their lore, with Lee Carver well establishing his presence as a natural fit. How does Schmeev feel about this EP? Find out today as he enters... Church Of Xul.

Schmeev’s AXEcellent Adventure - Alla Xul Elu, The Almighty

We've arrived at an album that I've at least gotten one prior listen to! On VINYL no less! We finally get an introduction to Elu after 3 albums of him being in the name, and who knows how the dynamic will change?

In 2018, Monoxide of Twiztid said that at that year's Gathering Of The Juggalos, Majik Ninja Entertainment would be represented. Speculation ran rampant as, to the knowledge of fans, the "beef" between Psychopathic and MNE was still going strong. Mere weeks after The Gathering ended, it was revealed that Alla Xul Elu, who had performed at GOTJ, were on Majik Ninja and would be releasing their newest LP in September. This time around, the group added new member Lee Carver into the fray, and now the trio were set to "re-debut" to a whole new audience of the underground with MNE's backing. How does this fare for group? How does Schmeev feel about it? Find out today as he does his deep dive into... The Almighty.

Schmeev’s AXEcellent Adventure - Alla Xul Elu, Necronomichron Vol. 1

3 episodes in and we're already remaking classic films. Where many would paint this as a group out of ideas, I see it as a group showing bravado and saying "FUCK YOU RAIMI, JUST WAIT TILL WE GET TO SPIDERMAN"

Who loves weed? You? You? How about you? Well Alla Xul Elu loves weed. They love weed so much they decided to make an EP about it. It almost feels like you can consider yourself and underground rap artist if you don't, but it DOES help when you have a cool concept around it. Like The Wizard Of Oz or something. I wonder if anyone's done that before...

Anyways, A.X.E. took inspiration from Evil Dead and came up with Necronomichron. How does Schmeev handle all this dark and dank goodness? Find out today!

Schmeev’s AXEcellent Adventure - Alla Xul Elu, Sci Co

Wow I made it a whole 2 albums on my own, can you believe it?? Things are going well as we dive into a bit of an expansion of the Allaverse, meeting some new characters and giving them their own tracks here and there.

Alla Xul Elu released their sophomore album, Sci-Co Volume 1, just 8 months after their debut, on October 17, 2015.

Where Head of Horns was an introduction to Billy Obey and Joe Black’s aesthetic and sound, Sci-Co Volume 1 was a very experimental album featuring a variety of styles, topics and a number of guest performers. 

The title, “Sci-Co” comes from Alla Xul Elu’s home in Scioto County, OH. The idea was to include guest appearances from other musicians from the Scioto County area but expanded to include everyone from Dark Half’s Geno Cultshit to Mastamind of Natas.

The resulting record is a mix of upbeat party songs, bleak horrorcore, nostalgic odes to childhood in the 1990s and boastful battle raps.
