If you're part of the Juggalo family and are reading this, you're probably thinking to yourself "The ICP in my room" is sickposters, an ICP album collection, clothing, etc. You've probably already realized that these horror rap features are one of the things that make your room, your room. Without them your sense of identity would be stripped, and all the Juggalo family in the world couldn't convince you (nor would they try) that your room is better off without it.
However, no matter how much horror rap memorabilia you have in your room, chances are you don't have a romantic relationship with a ghost in your room. In ICP's "In My Room", that's exactly what happens.
Horror rap is supposed to be weird, that's why the Juggalo family at large has fallen in love with the art form. Yet ICP's "In My Room" is definitely one of the weirder horror rap songs out there. It also goes to prove a pointthat those making up the Juggalo family absolutely cherish their time alone away from mainstream society.
ICP's "In My Room" has Violent J describing to listening members of the Juggalo Family how he can't get wait to get home from school every day so that he can spend time with his sexy apparition.
This quintessentially horror rap relationship is best summarized in one verse of ICP's "In My Room":
I try to smile a lot but I'm always frontin'
But Id o love a ghost and at least that's somethin'
She don't talk much and when she do, it gets cold
Usually we just lay there and hold each other
We're lovers, we don't need others
As should be expected, what happens next in ICP's "In My Room" horror rap saga involves much blood and much violence, all in the name of a horror rap heroine. I won't spoil it for unfamiliar readers here.
One universal theme shared amongst Juggalo family members, arguably more so than their love for horror rap, is their love for being together, away from the pangs of mainstream society where they don't feel welcome. Of course, the story detailed in ICP's "In My Room" does not happen in the rooms of any Juggalo family members, but they're appreciation of the subject and song show that they are certainly a unique group of people.
All kidding aside, being ostracized from the community at large does lead Juggalo family members to enjoy horror rap in their rooms alone from time to time. What's your favorite memory that involves horror rap self-reflection in the company of your favorite horror rap records?
Whatever it is, I hope it doesn't end the same way as Violent J's story did in ICP's "In My Room".
