078 — ICP: Behind the Paint (Pt. 2 of 2)

In the second leg of our ICP saga, our grease-painted patron points us past the platinum peaks and into the valleys of his following, less successful, records, and walks up to the precipice of admitting “I started smoking weed and found god” but in the end sticks with “we had this all planned out from the beginning and never changed anything about ourselves.” Along the way, he describes both putting on weight and losing weight in the most off-putting ways possible, has a few extremely boring feuds with nü-metal musicians and burns some bridges in pro wrestling, and describes it all in the vaguest ways possible. Then the book just sort of … stops, and we’re all very relieved and grateful.

MASSIVE THANKS TO our truly wonderful pals Bill (@sundownmotel) Hanstock and Lemon for running in, guesting hard, and bringing the ICP heat!
