Blaze dropped albums in 2016 and 2020 with MNE. In 2014, he re-re-re-released Gang Ragz and it was a completely different record than what came out on PSY (it was the record that he originally wanted to put out without the violent j raps and MEC beats). There have also been a few EPs and a compilation. Where is this 13 yr gap you speak of?

Yeah I’m aware of all his releases and being 4 plus yrs apart and all that. I thought it was obvious that I was being sarcastic and exaggerating, (guess not) but blaze has always had this problem. Blaze don’t even write all his own shit maybe if he did he could have more frequent releases. And did it occur that I bring this up bc maybe we want more blaze instead of just 2 albums every decade? And I didn’t care for either gang rags over all. They both had their pros n cons. But when blaze went to mne and they (twz) kept bitching about how they were all held back I thought blaze would start drop-in shit every other yr at least. NOPE. I’m just curious what the excuse is now.

Gang Rags Reborn, Casket Factory, Casket Maker, Triple Threat, Year of the Sword, Rydas, Graveyard Greats, Cadaver, and Drive-By all since 2014. On top of features he’s done all over the place for other albums. That’s pretty productive for that time span. If you watch the interview, he’s thoroughly questioned about his workflow for making albums. He says that he does most of the writing, and he experiences delays a lot due to helping out with various things behind the scenes.

My only question is this…will they be yelling NIGGAZ KICK THE ANTHEM LIKE THIS! The answer is no, wanna know how I know that? Because MnE is stale and tries to appeal to the mainstream.
You will notice in this interview that Blaze is purposely not saying juggalos, there’s one time where it’s blatantly obvious he was about to say juggalos but then changed his speech, then towards the end he finally slips and says juggalos but then quickly adds “or ninjas”. I am certain that Mne has had a meeting telling all their artists NOT to say juggalo or to atleast refrain from saying it as much as possible, I am certain of this, and it’s pretty fuckin stale. Apart from that good interview Scottie, you shoulda asked your fruit pie magician question that I could tell you wanted to ask.
And Mr Fucker, I could tell you were using sarcasm and exaggeration, it was very very obvious and if someone didn’t pick up on it then they’re a little slow lol.

Unless I missed something blaze didn’t talk about mishaps other than covid, and that’s now, this past yr. Not 20 yrs and in between. And props to scottie for asking about power of the pen, for real I stand corrected on that part bc that was indeed a tough question, but in all honesty blaze dodged that shit acting like he didn’t know. gtfo he didn’t know. Bc he don’t write all his own shit lol it’s no secret that’s why he tried down playing that shit.
And @bonesaw wizardstick yeah if include collabo projects yeah he’s been decently busy but I said SOLO shit. Even w everything in past 7 or 8 yrs all the shit you listed still ain’t that much especially when 1 is a album rework and another is a compilation of previous shit. Your for real try to count those? I’ll give you gang rags rework but not graveyard greats lol
Also like Mikey brought up blaze was kinda sketchy w the word juggalo, I felt same way. And Mikey I’ve been hearing past couple yrs twz want to shy away from using juggalo which they have been doing

@Mr. Fucker I got the sarcasm. Just wondering why the blaze hate? He’s a cool ass dude. He never talked shit about the culture. So what he doesn’t write all of his raps? He writes a % and so does Madrox. Shaggy doesn’t write all his own raps…
I honestly thought this was more of the down to earth interviews I’ve heard from one of these artists. From Blaze opening by talking about how to brick in a mailbox to telling stories about working in PSY’s shipping dept and doing manual labor. For a guy like me holding down a “9-5”, that shit’s refreshing to hear.
On the Twiztid topic, which has been beaten to death, yes they’re trying to shy away from the word Juggalo because 99% of the world’s population when they hear “juggalo” they think ICP. Twiztid has been trying to get out of the ICP umbrella for almost 10 years. There have been times MNE has schooled it, there have been times they’ve fallen on their face. I still consider them juggalos even if they don’t openly claim it. They know where the came from. They’re just in their own lane now.

“Twiztid wants to get away from ICP”
*Twiztid sells Dark Lotus Merch*
*Twiztid makes a Rydas album*
*Twiztid signs everyone from Psy*
yeah… okay lmao

@carnivalkilla44 what insult or hate did I throw at blaze? Fr fr please point that out. I haven’t said anything hateful or disperanging about blaze. I might be criticizing and busting his chops a lil bit w my sarcastic jokes but I wasnt hating on him, I didn’t say he was trash or his music was trash. all Im asking is why w himself, and the help he gets (ppl help writing his shit), access to producers, why he’s always lagged behind pretty much everybody w releases. And again i did bring up he has help w writing I never once said that’s a bad thing lol I’m just curious why it takes him so long on projects. He just dropped cadaver but it took pretty much 5 yrs since casket factory. I might sound like I’m hating but just bc I’m being critical it’s not hate lol if your homie has a stupid haircut you make fun of, that doesn’t mean you hate him right? Lol I never once said anything bad about blaze other than how long it takes him. Its something I’ve wondered about him for yrs and I’m not the only one lol and yeah blaze is a cool ass dude never said he wasn’t, although he tries to play both sides but I don’t blame him bc the fractures that our now within our community are not his fault. His bosses are the problem and that’s ok I get it. Again not hating on blaze just asking why he doesn’t drop shit more frequent

Mr Fucker I didn’t see any hate from you towards Blaze, just a little humour, not sure where someone would get that your hating on Blaze when you clearly aint.
Oh yeah and excellent point about the “Power of the Pen” question, Blaze FOR SURE dodged that shit and wasn’t giving a genuine honest repsonse because he knows the truth is some whack shit. Changing lyric and production notes Mne? Why? Lol didn’t like what people could read in the original? Hmmmm I wonder why that is. So stale.
