Their both white trash, just one makes respectable songs while the other makes dick jokes and christian pop for corny goofballs and meth addicts.
I already said they both basically do the same cathartic ****, but that ICP make it far more colorful and entertaining. Twiztid might be a bit more "respectable" comparatively (emphasis on "comparatively"), but they're still hilariously inept at communicating emotion to anyone but their isolated fanbase. Which one is the more "respectable" is irrelevant, cause they're both laughable.

If I'm going to listen to embarrassing **** then I'd rather listen to something that doesn't just sound like a moderately good version of what 50 million other rappers are doing. Nobody was ever doing what ICP was doing, from Ringmaster to Hell's Pit, what ICP were doing. Ringmaster and Riddle Box might have had some serious Esham going on, but even then those albums were singular, even compared to each other.

Which would obviously mean nothing if ICP didn't connect with me so hard and Twiztid not so much, but ICP were definitely infinitely more creative than Twiztid.
