If you look at any organization or institution, artistic or not, the personnel structures are often similar: There is a leader and then a second-in-command type that keeps everything rolling. This structure invades the music industry and world of record labels as well, and can be demonstrated perfectly by Psychopathic Records, Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid, and the Gathering of the Juggalos.
To reiterate the above theory, consider the following examples of command chain: President and vice president, CEO and COO, Owner and Coach, etc. To put this into Psychopathic Records terms, it makes the most sense that Insane Clown Posse would be #1 and Twiztid #2. After all, everyone who knows Twiztid will know Insane Clown Posse, but not everyone who knows Insane Clown Posse will know Twiztid.
Furthermore, Insane Clown Posse's records are on the front lines of horror rap's invasion into the mainstream. This means that ICP is subject to the most hate for being innovative while Twiztid gets to cruise by under the radar and keep the movement growing. This relationship is more important to the growth of the art form and Psychopathic Records that many people may believe.
If it weren't for Madrox and Monoxide Child pushing everything along without having to deal with the interference of the mainstream media (like ICP does), there's no question that horror rap and Psychopathic Records today would not be as far along as they are.
Without Twiztid, the movement and Psychopathic Records would have a tough time carrying on every time there was back lash against anything ICP. It's always good to have a sturdy, dark horse artist around to keep things moving.
Psychopathic Records aside, the group's presence is highly valued by fans at the Gathering of the Juggalos. Just do a little Internet surfing and you'll come across some fantastic YouTube videos of Twiztid's seminars at the Gathering of the Juggalos, their Gathering of the Juggalos performances, and probably a few fan pictures of the guys signing autographs at Gathering of the Juggalos.
However, what I find most impressive, are the honest, in-depth reviews written about Gathering of the Juggalos by Monoxide Child. Written from first person, the articles serve to further connect fans of Psychopathic Records' horror rap artists and the actual artists themselves. There's nothing but love for the Family pouring from Twiztid's pen in his breakdowns of various Gathering of the Juggalos.
And if you pay attention, chances are you'll find some pretty great advice from him on how to make the most of your time at Gathering of the Juggalos.
But why does this matter? Twiztid, just by being part of it all, provide another outlet for the Psychopathic Records vibe to fly. Try as they might, Psychopathic Records kings ICP just can't be everywhere and please everyone at once, so it's a good thing they have help from their trusted deputies in Madrox and Monoxide Child.
