 |
|
I thought it might be interesting to have a thread where people could explain where their in game name comes from. Twiztid's new album W.I.C.K.E.D. (Wish I Could Kill Every Day), was released today, so I guess I'll go first.
| Quote: | Biography:
Twiztid is an American horrorcore rap group from Eastpointe, Michigan, formed in 1997. They are made up of Jamie Madrox (James Spaniolo) and Monoxide (Paul Methrix). Since their 1998 debut, the group has become the second most popular group on the Psychopathic Records label (after their mentors, the Insane Clown Posse,) and has a loyal following of Juggalos of their own. They are also part of the Psychopathic supergroups Dark Lotus and the Psychopathic Rydas.
Early History: (19921999)
Prior to being Twiztid, Madrox and Monoxide were members of the rap trio House of Krazees, using the names Mr. Bones and Hektic, along with the third member, the R.O.C. The band released five albums before disbanding in 1997. After the split, the duo sent a demo tape to Joseph Bruce, (Violent J of Insane Clown Posse,) which contained the tracks "2nd Hand Smoke," "Diemuthafuckadie," and "How Does It Feel?" Bruce was extremely impressed, invited the duo on 'The House of Horrors Tour,' and signed them to Psychopathic Records. Before the tour kicked off, the three men got together and decided on a name that perfectly fit the duo "Twiztid".
Twiztid's 1998 debut album, Mostasteless, was originally released independently by Psychopathic Records. When Insane Clown Posse signed with Island Records, they helped get a deal for Twiztid as well. Mostasteless was pulled, and re-released on Island in 1999 with somewhat different track listing. That track listing included brand new songs, but left out tracks such as "Murder Murder Murder" and "She Ain't Afraid" because of uncleared samples. Mostasteless would eventually become Gold.
Freek Show Era: (20002002)
In 2000, the group released Cryptic Collection, which is Twiztid's version of Insane Clown Posse's Forgotten Freshness. It featured new, rare, and unreleased tracks.
Twiztid released their second album, Freek Show, on October 31, 2000 the same day Insane Clown Posse released their Bizaar/Bizzar albums. Freek Show became the group's breakthrough album, giving the group their first taste of chart success, and proving the group could do well on their own.
The group released the Mirror Mirror EP in 2002. It received little promotion and is the group's only studio EP. A second Cryptic Collection also came out, featuring the Mostasteless tracks that don't appear on the Island re-release.
The Green Book Era: (20032004)
The Green Book was released in 2003. Twiztid's appearance also changed for The Green Book. Jamie Madrox now had bright green contacts and bright green hair, and Monoxide had virtually no makeup on whatsoever; neither wore any white face-paint. From this album on, Twiztid changed their appearance to match their current album. It also featured Other non-Psychopathic Records artist like E-40, Bushwick Bill, Lazy Bone (of Bone Thugz N Harmony) and the start of many collaborations with Tech N9ne. To support the release they toured the US with Wolfpac, doing two full legs of the Green Book tour, "Chapter 1" and "Chapter 2".
Twiztid also began releasing a series of half-hour episodes of what they called The Purple Show on the internet. Three original episodes, plus an unreleased fourth episode, were later released on DVD. A fifth episode appeared on the group's website in 2004, and a sixth, Halloween-themed, episode was released on the Mutant Vol. 2 bonus DVD. The episodes were done by Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Spyder and ran roughly 30 minutes in length. The features on each episode varied but included random stunts, jokes, and various skits.
Twiztid started their own label, Majik Records, with producer Tom Dub, but quickly drifted back to Psychopathic after a fall through.
In 2004, Twiztid released their third Cryptic Collection album, which included a cover of Steve Miller's "The Joker", which they performed at the 2004 Gathering of the Juggalos. In November of 2004, Monoxide released his debut solo album, Chainsmoker LP.
Man's Myth / Mutant Era: (20052006)
In the summer of 2005, Twiztid released two albums Man's Myth Vol. 1 and Mutant Vol. 2, released within a month of each other. Man's Myth was a typical Twiztid album, while Mutant was featured more of a rock and roll sound. Jamie Madrox had been questioned about it actually being the long sought after Black Majik project that Twiztid had been working on at the Gathering of the Juggalos 2006. In this response, Madrox replied "Just picture Mutant with a Black Majik logo on there and call it whatever you want. It's something all Twiztid but with the flavor we wanted to do with Black Majik all along since it fell through."
Each album included a DVD; The Man's Myth DVD had footage from the group's live performance at The Gathering of the Juggalos 2004, and commentary by Jamie and Paul about their discography. The Mutant DVD had the music video for "Story of Our Lives", behind-the-scenes footage of the making of the video, and a sixth episode of The Purple Show.
In 2006, Jamie Madrox released Phatso, his first solo record since 1995's Sacrifice. A limited edition version of the album, Phatso: Earth 2 Version with alternate mixes and one new song was released a week after the original.
Sometime in 2006, Twiztid released a single called "Necks" exclusively through Faygoluvers.net
Independents Day Era: (20072008)
The album Independents Day was released on July 3, 2007. Nearly every track features an independent guest, hence the title. Guest artists include Tech N9ne, Potluck, Proof and Bizarre from D12, Hed PE, Tha Dogg Pound, DJ Quik, The Dayton Family, DJ Clay, Insane Clown Posse and Blaze Ya Dead Homie. Proof and Bizarre's participation marked the first time Shady Records and Psychopathic Records artists appeared on a record together, due to the recently-ended long-standing feud between Eminem and ICP.
The album peaked at #57 on Billboard magazine's Billboard 200 chart, reaching as high as #4 on Top Independent Albums and #9 on Top Rap Albums.
W.I.C.K.E.D. Era: (2009 - Present)
In the month of September 2007, It was announced that Twiztid's planned nationwide "Toxic Terror Tour" was cancelled due to an accident on the set of the video shoot for "Raw Deal" (The Juggalo Song), in which Monoxide tore his MCL. The tour resumed in Winter 2008 after Monoxide took time off to fully recover from his injury. The group's "Toxic Terror Tour" EP was sold exclusively at tour stops around the country. Madrox announced that after the Toxic Terror Tour, Twiztid would go straight into studio to work on their next planned project.
In an interview with Murder Dog Magazine, Monoxide said that he will be releasing another solo album, and that it will possibly be a sequel to Chainsmoker LP. Monoxide also stated that the new Twiztid album would be called W.I.C.K.E.D. "Wish I Could Kill Every Day". The album will focus on Twiztid and not have guest appearances.
On the Halloween 2008 edition of Weekly Freekly Weekly, it was anounced that W.I.C.K.E.D. would come out on March 17, 2009. This was confirmed in the new years edition of the Hatchet Herald
During Twiztid's New Years Eve show they released a single track from the new album; the track was entitled "That's Wicked" and was thrown into the crowd.
On January 26th, 2008 both the cover and track list for W.I.C.K.E.D. were leaked, but then quickly pulled by Psychopathic Records.
On the January edition of Weekly Freekly Weekly, it was revealed that every copy of W.I.C.K.E.D. would come with a collectable trading card featuring all the signed acts. 1 out of 100 would be autographed by one of the artists.
On February 23rd, a promo video was place on the Psychopathic Records Videoyoutube account stating that the new album will be available March 17. On March 2nd, an announcement by Jamie Madrox stated that there would be 3 different versions of the album in addition to the normal CD. The versions would be as followed:
1: The W.I.C.K.E.D album packaged in with a DVD containing two music videos.
2: The W.I.C.K.E.D album plus 3 cut tracks.
3: The W.I.C.K.E.D album plus a Twiztid comic book.
In addition, all three versions will be available on hatchetgear.com.

Hmm, I suppose I was one of those dislexic retarts, or maybe you are a flaming homosexual who likes confusing people by mispelling Corky.

| Alright, so, my buddy and I are stoned and driving to his house to crash. He just recently moved, so he gets lost in his own neighborhood. I give him shit about it, and he shoots back, "Hey, all the streets are people's names. Its easy to get them mixed up." Really, though, the streets have names like Beau, Huntsman, and Cove. In the whole neighborhood, only 2 streets have people names: Tyler and Lynn. So, I retort, "Yeah, cause Tyler and Cove and Huntsman are people names... Wait, Tyler Cove the Huntsman!" So, the full name is "Tyler Cove the Huntsman" but that is too long and ridiculous sounding, so i just shorten it to tyler_cove. |
