I’m coming straight out and letting you know, even though ICP is synonymous with comedy, there’s no comedy on that record, on the Lost record.
The first record, Lost, it’s heart-pounding pulsing fast, but it’s also very grim, very ruthless. It’s not missing for you, you know? So the question you’re left asking yourself is, is your link missing, or is your link found? That is the Marvelous Missing Link. You don’t have that faith, you know? But if it’s found, and you’re 100% complete of a person, then your link is found. That’s the Missing Link, you know, and in your life it’s either lost or it’s found, you know? If you live in a gloomy life, and everything is depressing, and your link is missing, you know, you don’t have that salvation in your life. It could be, you know, a million things, but it’s the missing link as if there’s something missing between you and that happiness, between you and that completion. Now what that faith is, it could be anything. The Missing Link is the chain between you and your salvation, if you will, between you and your faith. And it did bring us down but we got back with Found you know.ĭuring an episode of The Juggalo Show recorded on February 12, 2015, Violent J said: But with this we started out with the Lost record. And that was also a record that we are like very intricate and tweaking every high hat. It took a while to bounce back from that. Even our personal life during that record, things were getting all fucked up and shit. As soon as we started recording Hell’s Pit, it’s crazy cause our mindsets just turned dark. With that record we did Shangri-La first which was great. Something similar we did with Shangri-La. As whereas Found is now that you have found, everything is gravy. So basically, Lost is what you are doing when you are lost in life.
And then what Found is, it is more uplifting and it is more lighter shit. It’s more fucked up subject matter, you know. We were going to do Lost and then three months later, we were going to release Found.īasically what Lost is, it’s a more down record. What we did was we recorded the first one and we were like, “This isn’t done, but it’s only one record.” We didn’t want to put out two records, a double record, I mean. The recording process was a little bit faster because we wanted to be so meticulous with everything. But with The Missing Link, we just wanted to get dirty with it. Usually when we record records, we want to do them super duper quality, and kind of like Dre producing. I have faith in him.”ĭuring an interview with Loudwire from October 28, 2015, Shaggy 2 Dope said: We were given this bond, that’s our gift. “We reach out and tell each other we love each other just to say it. “If you could read our text messages, you would know this is my brother,” Bruce says. It’s about finding something to believe in, whether that’s in one’s relationship with their spouse, their children or with art.īruce and Utsler say they have found that faith in each other, and, after two and a half decades, they’re still best friends. “Thinking about that, and seeing my mom come out unscathed because of her faith, that has a lot to do with what we’re talking about.”įaith, for ICP, isn’t about any particular religion Bruce admits he’s never read the Bible. She’s been through divorce, she married the wrong man, a man that molested her kids, but she’s not bitter about that anymore, and she doesn’t blame herself for that,” Bruce says. The idea came from his own relationship with his faith, as well as interactions with his mother. Once you find your missing link, you find your faith, you find your salvation. Someone without belief, they can be bitter, they can be lost. "Have you ever known someone who has the holy ghost? They’re all super happy and super positive? That person has found the link, they have belief, they have faith. The ‘Lost’ record is the missing link between you and your salvation,“ says Bruce, his face covered in a thick layer of greasepaint.
The album was discussed in a Detroit News article from April 27, 2015:
