ICP Record "Benoit" Song

[Snaptastic]

- The Insane Clown Posse are recording a song titled “Chris Benoit,” which will be the lead single for the group’s upcoming album “Mighty Death Pop.” The album is set to release on August 14th.

Personally they're not my cup of tea, plus this is no doubt is a very distasteful fashion.
I doubt WWE will react however, as I'm sure they'd rather not give them to publicity.

[Tiger Millionaire]

Wow, two things that died 5 years ago, Chris Benoit and ICP's relevancy.

[Mayonnaise]

I don't think it'll be that distasteful if at all. You can say what you want about them but the fact is they love and respect wrestling more than most people.

All was in the name of “Chris Benoit,” lead single from ICP’s upcoming “Mighty Death Pop” album, due Aug. 14. The song is based on the mental breakdown of professional wrestler Chris Benoit, who in 2007 notoriously murdered his wife and son before hanging himself.

“It’s about that loss of sanity,” Violent J said during a break in the shoot. “It’s about the snapping, that moment of panic.”

I'm more offended they couldn't think of a better name for the song than friggin' "Chris Benoit".

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Yeah, considering that ICP are huge wrestling fans (Don't they still run their own promotion?), I would hope that this isn't completely distasteful.

[HBL]

IMO,ICP is one of the worst things to ever happen to music,so I could care less about what they're doing. Even if it's wrestling related.

To be honest I just found some of their past work a little OTT. But I don't believe you can truly make a tasteful song about a double murder-suicide. Well perhaps you could, if you didn't use said murderers name as the song title.

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

"F***in' murders, how do they work?"

[PKO]

Did the ICP do The Oddities theme?

[Krimzon]

Oh man...This will not go well. That's all I can think to say right now.

[metylerca]

Two things I don't like. A collaborative effort in a sense. One thing I will not like. "Benoit."

[Juice]

There are a lot of assholes who are irrelevant to me who also happen to like wrestling, but I still don't like them because we have that one thing in common. This is nothing more than an attempt to get record sales exploiting what mass media considers a tragedy.

What rhymes with Benoit?

5 years is being awful generous

A line I'm 100% sure will be in this song: "Dead Ma."

Just threw up a little in my mouth.

[joey joe joe junior shabadoo]

Wow, I'm looking forward to hearing this and seeing the video! Obviously they're going for the shock value, that's what ICP do, but as people have mentioned they're very respectful of the business of professional wrestling as well so it will be interesting to see what they've done with this.

[Deleted]

Eh, I'll wait until after I hear it to talk shit.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

It's the ICP RAPPING about a double murder/suicide. Yes....I'm sure it will be a touching, poignant tribute in the way that the ICP is known for....holy balls, are people actually defending this? Leave it to two assholes who haven't been relevant for years to dig up a third for controversy's sake.
