Seriously, it's the moment you’ve been waiting for... if you're a misanthropic man-child that can't move past the late 90's. The Insane Clown Posse just came out with a new song.
It’s called “Miracles,” and it isn’t just any old cut of the mill rappers with makeup music video; it’s something special. This is an opportunity for the ICP to celebrate all of the mysteries of the universe, like magnets.
You can tell these guys have not had the opportunity to attend so much as a community college with lyrics like these:
Fucking magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed
Violent J: Yo, ninja, how dese here magnit's work, yo?
Shaggy 2 Dope: It's easy, yo! It's turtles all da way down!
Violent J: Fo realz?
How does anybody correct that? How could anybody explain to these guys that their "miracles" are not simply lies from men of science. These guys can't be serious, can they? Well, an article on State by Jonah Weiner suggests that ICP may be pulling our leg here. He, and other bloggers, note that the video reeks of Saturday Night Live's Digital Shorts. That is, it's so off-the-wall funny that it may be a satirical look at public education.
I don't know if what ICP accomplished was intentional or not, and part of me hopes not, but I do know one thing: the video has raised awareness of the band and is helping to prevent them from slipping into obscurity. They're even the butt of a meme!
Its possible that the majority of children attending Detroit Public Schools, where members of ICP went, do think that rainbows, waterfalls, pyramids, and pelicans are all magical miracles, but not likely. More likely is that ICP listed a multitude of "miracles" in the same way Alanis Morissette listed ironies in 1996. That is, intentional or not, they can both always claim they knew what they were doing. The joke is on us, the public.
Until then, behold the magic!
