Im a Battleaxe Warrior so this may be hypocrisy and may get my pass revoked... but honestly aside from Dope Sick I don't listen to many Madchild songs because he literally uses the same rhymes and structures...it gets mad childish (pun intended).  I love Swollen and the Baxwar movement is a fresh idea if it ever actualizes into what it was espoused to be about.

What was it espoused to be about?

I like some of his feature verses on other peoples shit and there's a few solo songs of his I don't mind but overall I've never been able to get into Swollen Members or Madchild's whole albums...I give their new ones a try every time one drops just to see if they win me over because they're obviously skilled lyricists...just find their subject matter and song structuring kind of bland/repetitive I guess...nothing really stands out to me about them

In its inception it was supposed to be a place where talented emcees, producers, graffiti artists, alternative sports (BMX, UFC, Beaver wrestling etc) shared their shit and got support from other members with complimentary skills.   Its yet to attract that much heat other then Adlib and Snak the Ripper.  I do fucks with both of them so its all good in my book...just not quite the scope they intended at its inception per say.

"I wish I were homeless with AIDS so I could say that this is still worse than the shit from my prolapsed asshole" youtube user, WMDimes in the comments on Madchild's "White Knuckles" music video lol. Had me rolling.

Madchild sucks like bieber and drake

I might watch you his Ustream tonight just to see what the fuck is up with SWOLLEN MEMBERS right now. Seems MADCHILD is all about the solo career since SWOLLEN's last album "Brand New Day" flopped hard.

Madchild is on tour with Swollen right now in Australia so it can't be that bad.  He's got a show in Australia on 9/27 and then joins the ICP tour in Ohio on 9/30- I don't know how the fuck he's going to do that.  

Did Brand New Day really flop hard?  That sucks, I thought it was fucking great- it's probably my most listened to album of 2014.

I've only been listening to him since he resurfaced a few years ago (DopeSick I think) and dude's pretty good. I have the same gripes with him that I have with CES CRU though, halfway through the album I find myself saying "I get it". He doesn't change his structure for shit. A couple witty lines, a horror/kung fu/video game reference, sampled hook, repeat, end. One or two songs per album or as a feature seems to be where he shines.
