Thanks guys for doing this, I’ve been a fan since the start. I have a few questions. Answer whatever you’d like

1st is for Monoxide

Since “Heartbroken & Homicidal” I’ve seen a huge up turn in your lyricism (not that it wasn’t any good before) and has been increasing 10 fold per album since. Can you explain what it was that caused this development/change?
“The Darkness” marks the first full length album to be released on Vinyl by Twiztid. Has the resurgence in vinyl sales persuaded you guys to make this move (I ordered 2) and will you continue to do so for future or past albums?
The “Twiztid Cloud” has been mentioned many times with so many great ideas. Name at least 1 ‘cloud’ item we can expect in 2015?
“The Moment You’ve All Been Waiting For” is a huge title not just in length but in a form of expectance one might personally make being a fan. Do you guys feel this could be a make or break album?

Looking forward to the new album and all the success you guys deserve in 2015.

Before you left psychopathic records I think everyone could see something different happening with ICP, specifically Violent J. For me it was plain to see he traded the message for the money. It also seemed they became very controlling and had to involve themselves with everyone’s music, I.e. be featured on at least 2 tracks, write a song, etc. For fucks sake look at Gang Rags. Almost every song says written by violent j. Basically what I’m asking is what the hell happened to psychopathic records?

Hey Madrox and Monoxide! Would love for you to stop by r/twiztid sometime! Here’s my question, who’s a singer/band that you listen to that you think might surprise some people?

electroknight

Of all the kinds of music in the world, how did you land on this one? What made you want to make this kind of music?

zigvt85

Since PSY dubbed their studio as the Lotus Pod…What have you named your new studio and will you post any photos?

hardcorebossguy

What does, in your opinion, the juggalo movement represent?

BigDaddyMcoggins

Are you guys still pondering the idea of a Super Hero album? Also, TWIZTID IS THE MUTHA FUCKIN SHIT! love your work can’t wait for the Darkness.

LuckyNumbrXIII

After starting your own label:

Is there anything that’s not as simple as you thought it was? What would it be?
Is there anything that’s less complicated than you thought it would be?
Has it made you like or respect the independent music scene more or less?
What was your biggest failure and what have you learned from it?
What is your greatest success, and how to you plan to top it?

Also PS: I’m a huge fan of you guys since I saw you live at Wicked Clowns From Outer Space, and will be a fan for life! Can’t wait for MNE 2015!

HeLMeT_B0Y

Are you at liberty to discuss the possible return of Basketball Head?

Scar7

Do you guys plan on making any more rock-oriented songs (or possibly an entire album), such as tracks off Mutant (i.e, Familiar, Get Off of Me, Respirator, etc)?

DrBurtMacklin

Did Tom Dub update his ridiculous head tattoo for the new label??

needles__kane

what did both of you think of the new star wars trailer?

nocreativenamesleft

Are there are plans to bring back Handicap Hotdog and/or the Purple show?

HatchetKing

In 2010 at The Gathering, you put on Heartbroken & Homicidal then left the stage. Why did u just leave your headlining set?

Winter04

The cover art for The Darkness is very interesting and different than other covers you’ve had. I was wondering if you guys could explain it? There seems to be some kind of story going on there and I was curious if you could explain what went into it?

charmcity39

Any more collaborations in the works with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko? And any chance of an album or maybe a tour in the future with them?

PM_Me_Your_Muffintop

What’s been your favorite collabo and what artists do you want to work with going forward?

Twiztid_Fam82

At the Gathering in 2011 you guys did a dope version of I wanna be (Batman), that beat was so sick! Can you please release a studio version of that remix?

grat36

What are the plans for 2015 after the darkness is released?

12inRecord

Any chance of seeing past albums put out on vinyl? Maybe limited editions like The Darkness? I’m pretty sure you’ll see you guys will have a vinyl loving group in your fan base that want this.

Gh0zt306

I love you fucking guys! I can’t wait for the release of The Darkness!

Up in the Twiztid Clould® have you guys tossed around the idea of a tell all book after your non-disclosure agreement is up?

The New York Times Best Seller of 2020.

Here’s to 17 more years! Good luck you guys your future looks positive

blackie197666

If a train traveling from New York at 75 mph going west and a train traveling from Los Angeles going 95 mph traveling east leave at 9am in their respective time zones when will Betty White be guesting on a track.

freekshow66

We all know Jamie is the old school pervert but out of the two of you, which is more Perverted ?

Also what do you all think of the new Gotham Series take on Batman?

BackOnTheBacon

I’ve read that you plan on releasing “original themed horror movies” to lead up to the release of The Darkness, and you plan on releasing films on the “Better then Books” production company. What is the likelihood that Kane Hodder or Sid Haig will be a part of those? I am excited for A Place in the Woods!

BackOnTheBacon

I was reading that Violent J still plans on releasing s Big Money in Space movie, would you two agree to be in it?

jaymee_juggalette

Was it always a plan to go on your own, or an epiphany?. Did it just come to one or the both of you?. (Details on the convo..)

How did your (blood related) families take the news, was it discussed or already decided when you informed them?.

How’d psychopathic respond?. Was it discussed over time, or a major bombshell. (I keep imagining something like “you remember when ABK tried that?…”)

How has Majik Ninja and it’s changes effected everything?. Personal life stress, making big decisions, (although your styles always slightly change, which I love btw) have you felt as though it has changed your styles more than you wanted? Or changed your opinions of what’s acceptable in lyrics and what isn’t?.

Is it harder to do group albums now? ( Dark Lotus, Rydas; will you continue to do albums like these?.)

What are your favourite gifts you received over the years from gatherings, vips, in the mail, etc?..

In Twiztid we trust! Whoop Whoop! -nothing but <3 from KC

russwasherejr

Will we ever get a studio documentary of you recording a full length album? Would be interesting to see. I’m talking start to finish. You guys making beats, writing songs, goofing around, watching your producers make beats, etc.

Also: Do you have any desire to produce another FULL ALBUM with fritz? I personally dug everything you guys did together, and definitely miss the sound he created, you guys were just unstoppable. Even an ep would be dope.

How do you feel about the new deck that Icp has begun since starting up bang pow boom? Do you feel they have gone in a good direction or feel that they should be going down a different path musically?

aka_who

I remember when Mostasteless came out and became one of my most listened to albums. I think I even still have some of your old House of Krazeez tapes around. I was a big fan back in the day and traveled a bit to catch your live shows a dozen or so times. I haven’t really kept up in the past 10 years or so though. How do you think your new stuff will resonate with a fan of your early material?

FatalFlames

I love you two, your music has gotten me through some of the worst times in my life. As well as allowed me to experience some of the best.

My question is for both of you, what is your favorite song you have ever done?

HatchetKing

Which famous musicians do you admire? Why?

HatchetKing

When will you announce a European tour? I know you want to.

HatchetKing

What is the most fun part of creating Majik Ninja Entertainment?

HatchetKing

After the release of The Darkness January 27th, What “style” can we expect? Dark like W.I.C.K.E.D or something like Get Twiztid?

GambitsCherie

What is your favourite fan interaction, and your funniest hound dog experience?

CounterfeitGod

Is there a time frame for the return of Ashtrays and Action Figures, or just a podcast in general? I still see a decent number of requests for people to share what they have as others try to collect them all and listen to them again.

HipHopTitsNTats

Wuddup doe?

When can we expect to see some new artists announced to MajikNinjaEntertainment besides Twiztid, Blaze, and the R.O.C.?

Any info you want to release about The Moment You’ve All Been Waiting For? I’ve been waiting….for a moment…yea.

It seems Monoxide has a real grip for talent scouting. He put me onto artists like Caskey and Snow Tha Product way before they really began popping in the music scene. Is there anyone you’ve found recently we should keep an ear on?

You guys mentioned a “666” album that would be a 1/3 solo between you two as well as together. What if that idea became 1/3 Blaze and it became a Triple Threat album? Hmm? Hmmmm? Yea? You like that? I like that.

Haha peace fellas. Thanks for many years of past present and future entertainment!

aWickedlyDemented

What advice, suggestions, and/or tips would you give someone who is following their whether it be music, creative writing or anything else that is their passion?

ComaBlackNOTL

Would you all host you own “Gathering” like event?

_Phazon

Listening for damn near 16 years now. Just wondering if you’ll be making any more music videos for older songs ? Keep it Twiztid.

Thecheshyre

Question.

How was your dinner last night? Was it special or memorable in any way?

Any plans for your dinner tonight? Will it be delicious?

What is your favorite dinosaur?

SexualStegosaurus

I met you guys at New Years Evil 4 at the Alrosa Villa and I met Mono again right next to my tent at the 2012 GOTJ. You guys are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Thank you so much for doing this AMA! I have two questions for you.

Mono and myself at NYE 4:

View post on imgur.com

1.What are some of your favorite bands or artists?

2.What do you listen to when you’re on tour?

yesitsdaniel

You guys made me re fall in love with blaze with gang rags reborn… best juggalo release in my opinion in awhile. Can we be expecting MNE to be releasing a new blaze album in 2015?

Kazeek

First I wanna congratulate you guys on getting Majik Ninja Ent up and started. I couldn’t imagine all the time and energy it took to have all that come together. I’ve been a fan of you guys for a very long time and I’m real excited for your guys future. Keep on truckin!

Are you guys going to keep an annual tour happening every year up here in the Great White North also known as Canada?
And what was your favorite place/ city here in Canada?

I look forward to seeing you next time you come on through

Skweetle

Big fan. Gamertag on 360 is even AKMonoxide. Just a random question: Alaska has pretty healthy WCL in the family, would you be interested in doing a show in Anchorage? And, you some sexy motherfuckers. Dont forget.

dawncarlopoli

when are we going to see the new ashtray and action figures show or something similar to it,missing the comical camaraderie between all of you. its as entertaining as the music

PunkerSXE

Obviously, Detroit has been a hot bed of music for years, especially the hip hop scene. You got to do a song with Proof on ID, but is there anyone else on the local radar that you’d want to do a track with? Maybe someone that people outside of Detroit haven’t heard of but should know. We always joked that Twiztid/Paradime should do a remake of the ICP/Kid Rock track Is That You?

beerandcoffee

Ever considered a european tour?

Katie1230

I love seeing you guys perform at the gathering. Have you given any thought to performing at any other festivals around the country? Edit: not skipping the gotj of coarse, but picking up any more :)

juggako818

kelsey666

will there be a tour in 2015?

IronLung420

Hey guys. I don’t have a question I just wanted to say thank you for coming to Portland Maine. Living in a small state in the middle of nowhere I never thought I’d see you guys, Blaze or Kung Fu Vampire. It was a kick ass show and the mosh pit was worth losing my hat and I hope you guys come back soon so we can rock out again.

Aardmadrox

My question is Back during Dark Lotus’ beginings you guys both voiced concern over Marz being added to the core 5. Then when Marz left and ABK took over you guys recorded Black Rain and then ABK left Psychopathic. Again you guys voiced displeasure in someone joining and leaving Dark Lotus, by the time Dark Lotus recorded again ABK was back on the lable yet was no long in Lotus. Can you elaborate on the decsions and if ABK was ever considered to rejoin the crew?

SFGrippy

You guys collaborated with Mishka on a couple of Keep Watch hats. My first one is fine but the USPS lost the second version. Will you be collaborating with them on any more hat releases?

KillerKlown420

Majik majik ninja what!! Never thought I’d see yall do an ama. Been down with yall for a while try and make it to every show I can in Milwaukee. You guys have gotten me through a lot of hard times. Thanks for doing this AMA! Whats it like working with Seven? What was the hardest obstacles you guys had to overcome during your come up to where you are now? Anything you would have done differently? Thanks again yall can’t wait for The Darkness whoop whoop!

Aardmadrox

Next time you come to Canada can you please come to Montreal? I can’t travel west. Eastern Canadians need to see you guys live.

thatonenative

HOW DID YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT JAMIE!!! I GOTTA KNOW FAM

SupahBallz

Yooo Twiztid!! I just want to say I fuckin love you guys. Your music always makes me feel better and has helped me get through the tougher times in my life, since way back in 5th grade. Seen you guys a few times in VA and you guys are always on point and have so much energy. Your music keeps getting better and better and I cant get enough. Now with the fanboyism out of the way.

What sports do you guys watch and who are your teams? Madrox, I know you like comic books and shit but are you into anime/manga as well?

twiztidone

Every band has 1 stale/bad album not you guys tho. Each album or mixtape has sometgi g different n special about it. Which brings me to ask why does it seem that Heartbroken and homicidal is kinda the black sheep of your discography. Having just seen you perform in philly in October I know your set list was vast even including verses from dark lotus. H&H is probably my third or fourth favorite album BC of how different it was but I don’t think I’ve heard anything from it live other than the tour that supported it. Also were there on going issues at the time of this album that influenced the sound n style and maybe that’s why its not revisited.

ConjureOfSacrifice

What are your picks for best/worst horror of the past few years? I loved Cabin in the Woods, The Conjuring and both Insidious movies, but Annabelle was a horrendous letdown and Ouija was garbage.

empw

So what is Juggalo life really like?

fredolover

Out of curiosity I’ve been a fan for about 3 years now and I just want to know if you guys are ever going come to Glasgow, Scotland? Also just wanted to say that you guys are amazing and if you ever do coke to Scotland I will be the happiest guy haha, thank for the amazing music. I know this isn’t the best question but it’s my biggest wonder and hope that it does one day happen.

theslimtweek

whats the best feeling in the world for you guys?

Pretzyl79

Good evening Fellas. What was the inspiration for the album cover for the Darkness? There is a Latin phrase at the top of the circle and some type of sigils at the bottom, are those rooted in history as the Latin phrase is? Thanks

Gh0zt306

I think I had an epiphany one day when I was listening to Lift Me Up.

I get that the pressure will always be there, but do you feel like you’re finally getting that chance now to spread your wings with Majik Ninja Ent.?

After 2015 is done could we expect another round of solo albums from the both of you?? Or are they possibly in the works now? And I did hear the possibility of 666 from your panel. I just hope see that or something similar.

Love you guys

dirtjuggalo

Where are the solo albums, why don’t you have a movie yet?, you’ve been to canada two years in a row is this going to be a regular thing? I sure hope so, new house of krazees? , full length roc cd?,

LSPismyshit

Hey I’m a huge fan. What would you say was your favorite moment touring. Favorite people to tour with? How’s hanging out with Scum?

EvilDead159

You guys should include Outtakes at the end of albums like Psychostick does. that shits hilarious. speaking of which they appear to be fans of yours, a collab would be awesome lol.

Also what Games, Comics, tv shows cartoons are you guys into right now? I suggest watching Rick & Morty if you havent its awesome

notenoughspaceforthe

What do you really think about Havok?

RockSmoker99

Which artists are going to be on Majik Ninja Entertainment besides yourselves, The R.O.C., and Blaze?

RoamingSasquatch

Whatever happened to the collaboration song you did with Seether that was supposed to be released on Abominationz? You talked about it during your Kaos and Kronik VIP Seminar on 4/16/12 and that was the first and last time we ever heard about this collaboration. Any chance the song will ever be released? Possibly on a future Cryptic Collection?

HatchetKing

Have you ever thought about working with CES CRU on one or multiple songs?

HatchetKing

Who were you, or would you be nervous to meet?

HatchetKing

Is there something you would like to do more of in the future?

HatchetKing

Who are your favorite musicians? Groups? CD’s?

skarekrowPL

What’s up guys? I want to ask you when are you finally gonna come to Europe? and by Europe I mean Poland, llal. There are hundreds of Juggalos here in Poland, we are the biggest Juggalo community in Europe with our own annual gatherings etc. Tech N9ne was here 2 years ago and he was shocked when he saw how many people came to his show and knew every single song. We are down since House of Krazees and we represent Twiztid Serial Killaz all day all night. Some of us have the biggest and rarest Twiztid collection out there. And it’s really sad that we never saw you live. So please, I know Mono is afraid of flying but fuck that, I can swim to US in canoe and take you guys here. PS. I will contact George V. very soon because we want to do an interview with you guys. And I don’t mean interview with stupid questions which you answered 100 times, the questions will be very interesting in my opinion and I hope you will be down for that. So… The Twiztid European Tour will happen?

matwiej

Hello there. First question, because since I have started listening to you (and that’s a long as fuck time ago) I’ve been wondering about if I ever see you live, as currently it is hard to obtain a visa here just to go to the US. Well, the question is… Will you ever perform in Europe? Poland, UK, Germany – it doesn’t matter, i’ll go anywhere.

Second question: Can you give me a shout out? I have performed with my band in front of a 4-5k audience in Bytom, Poland. Nothing unusual, but I wore one of Twiztid t-shirts I own, just for this occasion (

).

Hope you will answer! Anyway, keep up the good work, I have already ordered The Darkness, can’t wait.

PaulSkinback

Twiztid! I’m a huge fan! The only problem is, I live in the UK which means I’m not likely to see you perform live. My question is, do you have any thoughts about coming the England? Thanks for all of your music, you guys are inspirational!

Kazeek

I’m digging the fuck outta the new single. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kA-peg0YIi8

GiantsShadow

What is the story behind the short skit at the end of Story of Our lives.? was it you two just fucking around in the studio or could it happen to have been based on real(ish) events.
