"Magic everywhere in this bitch!"
"Miracles" is the latest from Insane Clown Posse off their latest smash hit album"Bang Pow Boom" (which I'm guessing is a sly reference to the Black Eyed Peas' smash hit "Boom Boom Pow"). This album sold 50,000 copies last week, and that's why I'm confused... This song is two guys dressed as clowns rapping about miracles. While the CGI graphics of the video are visually dazzling and must have required a huge budget to put together, sonically this song is bland, and lyrically it's just plain retarded:
"fucking rainbows after it rains,there's enough miracles to blow your brains"
I appreciate ICP's attempt to pull out their Ralph Waldo Emerson impression on us and start rapping about how they like rainbows, "things chilling in the sea", and how they don't understand how magnets work. It's just too bad that they're terrible at expressing the joy they feel from the surrounding natural world. I guess they were so high when they thought of these examples that they believed this song was (to quote them) "pure motherfucking magic" and fuck, it really is...I've never heard anyone rap about how they like rainbows before, so in that respect they are innovators and I applaud them for attempting to take rap music to another level. Too bad its a new low, for life and for humanity that something this offensively ignorant could become so successful in today's day and age. I have a theory on why that is. The music industry has suffered immensely because people have learned how to share/steal albums off the internet in various manners...and this takes a certain degree of intelligence/skills. Luckily for ICP however, they aren't affected by this because from the looks of them,their fans don't own computers..see below...
