Not counting the Gathering every year.
I dug ICP for a minute 10-12 years ago (for my birthday one year I think I got 3 ICP CDs from different friends) then pretty much grew out of it once I started listening to metal. It's pretty hokey, but certainly not dumber then any other rap act.
From listening to their music and listening/watching interviews with them on Stern, I always got the impression that they weren't taking things too seriously, they just made music that their crowd dug. I guess it kind of makes sense that as they and their crowd grows older and has more adult responsibility their message is going to change, it's just super odd to hear. I remember listening to Great Milinko and Riddle Box and Tunnel of Love (and Forgotten Freshness, which was bad even for them) and NEVER ONCE thinking "oh yeah, they must be talking about god".
I was always aware that they had a yearly festival, but they were on Stern not too long ago talking about it and it just sounded scary. Several thousand kids, in makeup, who take the songs very seriously, deep in the woods, with no cops around.
....the story about Shaggy getting beat up trying to break into a house when he was a kid and crapping himself is pretty funny, though.
