It's about that time for 6 people on Psychopathic Records to make an album together, SPECIFICALLY a Dark Lotus one. Hot off the heels of a brand new track on Psychopathics From Outer Space Part 2, ICP, Twiztid, Blaze, and ABK reunite from the first outing of everyone trying to sound like ICP and shift to a new direction of everyone trying to sound like Twiztid. Does this record sound more complete compared to the first? Does it have a more consistent tone in regards to production? Do we get a definitive answer on what Dark Lotus actually is supposed to be? We might find out, but probably not. So pack an umbrella, because the forecast is calling for... Black Rain.

Another transmission from the deep reaches of space has been received. It's... apparently the 2nd half of the last one we got. Well if we don't analyze it, who will? Your hosts sit down and discuss the rest of this glorified sampler from Psychopathic Records. Does the latter half hit as well as the first? Does it get us excited for what would come from the label in 2004? Do we struggle to get through this long fucking album? The answers may surprise you, so put on your aluminum foil hat, cancel your trip to Roswell, and donate to a charity supporting Black Lives matter. This is Psychopathics From Outer Space, Part 2... part 2.

From the deepest, darkest corners of space, scientists have come across transmissions from an unknown source. They sound human in nature, but are unlike anything heard before. I mean, unless you completely disregard music that came from underground Detroit from 1992 onward. This week, we decipher these transmissions that have been presented in the form of a CD. Well... half of them. Time constraints forced our hand and this is a part 1 of 2 (we hope you understand; this album is super fucking long). So set your Quasars to "kill" and charge your hyperdrive, because this week we encounter... Psychopathics From Outer Space Part 2... part 1.

Not gonna lie, we didn't think we'd ever cover this artist. But here we are. Today we take a look at the pioneer of Acid Rap, the godfather of the wicket shit (his words, not mine). Esham is a member of The Hatchet now and Juggalos can see what this relationship does for the artist and the label. How does this album compare to other releases from Psychopathic? How does it compare to some mainstream rap albums from the time? Does Esham sacrifice themes that would be prominent in your average Juggalo record and just make a good rap album? Find out the answers to these and more as we step into the confessional for... Repentance.

Shaggy 2 Dope released his first solo EP in 1994. It took Violent J 9 YEARS later to make one. Jeez, Mister J, way to have any sort of urgency. Anywho, 2003 for the Less Than Sane Posse Of Clowns is deep in the mindset of Diamond Rain. How does J deal with this? By smoking lots and lots of weed, of course! And making songs that also involve weed in some way, shape, or form! And hell, let's make it a Family affair and add our buddies Twiztid and Blaze as well. To top it all off, your lovable hosts have a lovable guest this week just for such an occasion. So pack your bags, Toto. I don't think we're in Detroit anymore. Let's take a walk down that yellow-brick alleyway to meet... The Wizard Of The Hood.

2003 gave birth to one of Twiztid's most personal records to this day. Not every song can be about smoking weed and killing people, ya know? So we get an album about smoking weed, killing people, and REAL SHIT. But legitimately, Twiztid don't shy away from speaking about some personal topics here, and they even flex their ICP "Amazing Jeckel Brothers" card by getting some pretty notable guest appearances to boot. So grab that HARDCOVER, turn the PAGES, and start a new CHAPTER, because this is... The Green Book.

Sometimes, delays happen. Some we have control over, some we don't. Having that end goal in site and having it pushed back sucks. But that doesn't mean you have to take that sitting down! Sometimes, you just have to release a short EP for free on the Internet, which is exactly what the Demented Duo did! We take a look at an actual EP that they made to help tide over fans for The Green Book getting pushed back. Do I have a bunch of questions to ask in this description? Nope. Twiztid released this little nugget of freshness 4 you, 4 me... 4 The Fam.
The 4 The Fam EP can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/officialtwiztid/sets/twiztid-4-the-fam-ep-volume-1

I'm not sure we've ever had an artist featured on so much stuff before they had their OWN actual debut release, but that seems to be the case with Anybody Killa. Seriously, the guy seems to pop up everywhere, from being on some of the best tracks on Blaze's "1 Less G N Da Hood" to yelling in the background of tracks on The Wraith. Killa certainly made his presence known. But in 2003, the underground would finally get to hear what ABK could do on his first full-length LP. Does he stand on his own? Who has the best guest feature? Is The Warriors a good movie? How many Native American references are thrown in this record? Hope you can keep track, because we didn't. Let us know the answer after we discuss... Hatchet Warrior.

Zug Island is an industrial island located at the southern city limits of Detroit. Zug Izland is a rock band who joined Psychopathic Records in 2001. Is there any correlation to the 2? Not really. But forget that. ROCK. We dive into the first rock album released by Psychopathic Records. How does it sound? Does Syn have the pipes to stand toe-to-toe with the greats in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame? No. No, I'm not even gonna entertain that thought. But does Syn entertain the Juggalos? Do we get any guest features from their rap-centric label-mates? We'll find out today. So watch where you walk. Be sure that you don't step on any... Cracked Tiles.
