Paris Joining The Hatchet

Paris (born Oscar Jackson) was rumored to be joining Psychopathic Records between 2000 and 2001 but that deal never solidified itself. Some speculate that it was due to the fact he had racial views and that's something Psychopathic Records could not relate to. Although, it has now been confirmed by Violent J in a recent Murder Dog Magazine interview, that he will help produce ICP's final Joker's Card, The Wraith: Hells Pit.

When ICP joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) they joined The Dead Pool with wrestling superstars Raven and of course, Vampiro. This began a long working relationship between the clowns and Vampiro both in the ring and out of it. Vampiro recorded skits on Psychopathic releases by Twiztid ("Freekshow") and ICP ("Bizaar") and even toured on ICP's Bizzar Bizaar Tour playing guitar on stage until an injury he recieved in a match with WCW's Mike Awesome mixed with the deafening sound at shows caused severe headaches and even occasional bleeding from his ears. This was for the most part the end of ICP and Vampiro's relationship outside of the ring.

For awhile there was talk of a new Psychopathic group called the Bloody Brothers. Little was said about the group besides that they were a group of hillbilly bums and that the members consisted of Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Marz, and Mike E. Clark. The idea was eventually set aside when Violent J began talks of a group called Zug Island featuring himself, Shaggy, and two alternative rock guys named Mike Penis and G-Man. As we all know Zug Island later became Zug Izland, Psychopathic's first successful Juggalo rock project headed off by guitarist Mike P and Syn.

Longtime Psychopathic associate Legs Diamond was originally a member of the local rock group Coupe Detroit most notably known to Juggalos for the song "Get Your Ass Off The Couch" featuring ICP. The clowns weren't exactly impressed with the group as a whole, but they did hit it off with Legs and he has since been a member of the label and has made several appearances on Psychopathic releases. At one point he was even said to be working on an album called "Crime Family" to be released on the label the runs beneath the streets, but it was eventually scrapped for reasons still unknown. Also of interest is the fact that his name, Legs Diamond, was derived from a gangster in New York in the 1920's and 30's who was eventually murdered after four failed attempts.

The first attempt Psychopathic made at a rock project was with Perpetual Hype Engine. Rumors went around the Juggalo world about PHE in 2000 and despite Violent J saying that they were an addition to the Psychopathic roster nothing was ever said about them after they played all the instruments for ICP's cover of "Let's Go All The Way." However, the band is still together and performing in shows in the Detroit area regularly.

At one point Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Psychopathic Records did part ways. Psychopathic's President Alex Abbiss was very disappointed with the sales of Blaze's first self-titled EP and was very serious about the idea of dropping the dead man much like Project Born and Myzery. However, rumor has it that Twiztid went to bat for Blaze and said if he went, they went with him. Not wanting to lose Twiztid the label chose to give Blaze another opportunity and since then the dead man has become much more popular with the Juggalo fanbase.

In 1999, Psychopathic Records asked Myzery to record another album with a more Juggalo sound to it, so Myzery did just that. He recorded a song for the release called "Piece By Piece" about making a zombie out of severed limbs, similar to the song "Mad Professor," but after Myzery and Psychopathic separated the beat from the song was eventually used on the song "Hound Dogs" from Twiztid's first Psychopathic release "Mostasteless."

Both ICP and Twiztid were scheduled to appear in a horror movie which was to be titled "St. Lucifer's" or something along that line. Apparently the movie was never filmed because certain financial backers pulled out. Unfortunately for all Juggalos and horror movie fans alike, the director/writer didn't have the money it took to record it. ICP and Twiztid were only supposed to be featured in quick cameo in the film anyways though.
