What a bizarre post.
Why is it so hard to believe, anyway? I mean, it's
just a CHEAP drink they like -- so cheap that there's no way Faygo probably makes enough money to even pay ICP to "pretend" to like them or something if they
wanted to. The drink is from Michigan, as are ICP. They like the drink.
All big rappers talk about Cristal and PlayStations and guns and all kinds of shit, and I'm pretty sure most of them aren't sponsored by any of that shit.
I'm pretty sure ICP -- who are MILLIONAIRES -- has no problem whatsoever spending 30-50 cents a bottle for 100 bottles of Faygo at a show. It's kinda expected now.
I don't think there's any conspiracy or backdoor dealings going on here. And even if there was, who cares -- it'd just be more brilliant marketing on behalf of those brilliant millionaires in ICP.
As for ICP being boring, I tend to find almost all rap boring after a while. It really takes a truly talented rapper to entertain me for 80 fucking minutes -- all these groups throw in ridiculous skits, guest rappers, do everything in their POWER to try to make their albums not boring, but alas... that's why WU TANG has always been so remarkable, they can do a 2 disc set like FOREVER and I don't find it boring to listen to at all (though many of the songs aren't as good as ones on 36 Chambers). They've got 1. Interesting production/beats that CONSTANTLY change (RZA is a musical genius, really), 2. 10 (counting Capp) intereting voices, and about 6 of them are
damn good rappers, 3. songs that are either completely devoid of a chorus or the chorus isn't annoying and overwhelming like most rap songs. 4. Truely interesting, sometimes downright bizarre, subject matter in their lyrics... and on and on and on. Most rappers have themselves and a few of their like-minded friends rapping about the same fucking garbage, over the same boring ass beats, which are all just filler for the obvious chorus, and the skits usually involve them talking about the same shit they talked about in other songs, or it's just them lighting up a joint. ICP's early stuff has some pretty cool horror rhyming going on, but actually sitting through an entire album doesn't do much for me.
