Seeing The Hatchetman on Blahzay’s banner makes me wonder if she’s coming back to PSY? Lol   

that is just the banner they made for her to use back in the day.  did she do her new song that she put out a video for or just stuff off the EP?

well, looks like this years ICP seminar was nothing more than ICP performing the Dog Beats album, along with Shaggy’s brother Mike, and nothing else.  no q&a like normal etc as people are reporting about it  

It’s never a q&a with ICP, just them taking about future plans for the coming year etc.

But yes, it was just them performing Dog Beats then saying “see y’all later tn” lol

This was disappointing to me simply because I attended the COC show a year or two back, where they did the same set as an opener, but it was like 100x more live because the crowd wasn’t a bunch of Gathering attendees on the last day in the mid-day heat…

I do understand it was prolly cool for sum of the hardcore fans who didn’t attend that show, so whatever…

Another note on seminars too, Esham is incredibly generous to his fans. Stupid people talk shit about him being cheap or a ripoff now and again, I’ve never seen anything that points towards that, in fact the exact opposite…my first Gathering in 08 was the last time (before this year) that Esham did a seminar, that year he gave everyone in attendance a free copy of his upcoming, still unreleased, Sacrificial Lambz LP…this year he gave the fans FREE merch…NOBODY else (artist wise) does shit that comes even close to this generous at the Gathering.

Point being, Esham’s dope hoe, and if you don’t think so, get cancer and die!

yeah shouldve done the inner city set, towards the end of the acoustic one..

the seminars are a staple..

Some respect lost for krs one did they do anything for geto boys?

Geto Boys killed shit (as expected), ICPs set consisted of exactly one song from each  studio album of their catalog, in order, from Dog Beats to Be Safe.

That icp setlist is fuckin awesome… 

Alley Rat?! So fresh. I bet Freedom was great. Very cool concept for the setlist.

It was a good gathering overall.  Here’s some of the things that I have read here that I can confirm or deny as someone who was there.  Also some other goofy things that I didn’t see mentioned.

• Parking lot party: it happened.  The fire marshal’s “I’ma take away your event permit if I see one firework in the parking lot” was thoroughly challenged and determined to be bluffing.  Since this party was not planned in the schedule, there were 8 porta potties for several thousand people that all ended up with shit stacked above the toilet seat before midnight.
• No golf carts!: Yea, there were only like 25.
• The walking: sucked several asses.  It’s a winding hill from the parking lot down to the non-balla campsites.  It has a steep incline and rocks that are larger than gravel randomly scattered on a dirt road.  Makes pulling a wagon full of stuff with plastic wheels down it very difficult and up it almost impossible.  Though I managed.  The other hill was a straight shot and smooth but even steeper, but they sold water and food at the top and bottom.
• “Cancelled” performances: Token missed his because of a flight delay in Boston, I believe.  It was re-scheduled and he did perform.  KRS missed his and they didn’t say why, and it was also re-scheduled and he ended up performing between ABK and Jedi Mind Tricks on the last day.
• Fireworks: Jesus Christ.  Remember last year how there was that thing about someone throwing a mortar shell at Yelawolf?  Well it happened this year to several artists.  Including ICP, Soopa Villainz, Geto Boyz, Tech N9ne, and probably some others that I didn’t catch.  That was on the stage.  There were a lot where people were throwing them in the crowd like grenades and I believe at least one person went to the hospital to get burns treated.
• Weather:  Hot and sticky as fuck.  Upper 80’s with high humidity every day.  Most of the park was covered in trees, but not where you stand for either the Shazam or Soopa stages.  Both were oriented so that if you were not in the shade from the stage itself, you got fried.  Additionally, many ninjas do not seem to understand that drinking beer in the hot ass sun does not count as hydration and it not recommended.

Now a couple of cool things that happened:

• Some of the non-juggalo artists were there to camp the whole week and didn’t just fly in for their show and bounce immediately after.
• Food was on point.
• The SCU and the other medical staff that they hired were on top of things.  I saw one guy who seized up get strapped to a backboard and driven out with good efficiency.
• I don’t think anybody ended their performance prematurely.
• I was spotted during the Odd Squad performance and glared at through the corner of an eye from stage left for over an hour (lol).
• Impromptu bonfire made out of people’s gear and picnic tables from the campground after the final ICP performance.  The security tried to stop it to no avail, and there were ninjas dancing on top of a pile of burning garbage and doing backflips off of it.  I would personally not do that, but it looked cool.
• I did not have VIP, but some of the artists were around where you could just go up and talk to them. I got to talk to Lyte and shake his hand.

I’m sure I’ll think of more, but that’s what all is on my mind right now.

So according to this article Geto Boys were booed for not acknowledging Bushwick and cutting out all of his verses and snubbed his kid from speaking in tribute to his father before ICP. I knew there was tension between Bill’s family and Willie but not to the extent of shunning his son from bigging up his pops.

 

I’m a Scarface Geto Boys can 4 life but this is disheartening.  

I saw this too but someone else said they turned the music off and everyone sung the verse
