Insane Clown Posse to GQ: "Screw You."

As most of the you know a few weeks ago we posted an article about ICP being named the worst rappers by GQ. The media has finally picked up on this and everyone is now giving Rob Tannenbaum the author of this worst rappers list major shit.
This has lead to Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope responding via tmz. Also Tmz has a poll up asking if ICP are indeed the worst rappers?, so head over there and vote NO. You can view the first article we posted about this story by clicking here. Below is some of the responses about this article including a tweet from Rob Tannenbaum.
ICP response via TMZ:
Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope aren't taking kindly to the insult. Violent J tells us, "Insane Clown Posse has been selling rap records, rocking rap stages and making rap money for over 20 years now. You can't rack up all that rap success for this long and still be 'the worst ever.' GQ magazine should stick to what they know: Dressing preppy metrosexuals."From Huffington Post:Shaggy took it one step further ... adding, "Tell GQ to say it to my face!"
Rapping isn't easy, and when it's not done well it's just downright cringeworthy. There are plenty of terrible example that come to mind, but GQ writer Rob Tannenbaum has assembled his own list of "The 25 Worst Rappers of All Time." Taking the top (dis)honor is none other than the Insane Clown Posse. The list also predictably includes former MTV "The Hills" star Spencer Pratt, Tom Hanks' son Chet Haze, Vanilla Ice, Kevin Federline and Madonna. But Tannenbaum's inclusion of the Too $hort and Eazy-E has sparked some ire. "Not only does this exercise in abject trolling misunderstand how hip-hop works -- wow, Ice Cube wrote Eazy's raps for him/ Next you'll be telling me Dr. Dre doesn't write every rhyme either! -- but it lazily beats up on artists who don't even get much respect in the first place," complained Complex writer David Drake, who deemed GQ's list a "disaster."Whether you agree with the list or not, Tannenbaum seems prepared for all the flack that's inevitably going to come his way, as he tweeted:
Thanks to GQ for letting me pick the 25 Worst Rappers of All Time & to ppl on Twitter 4 letting me know I'm an idiot. http://t.co/NQdzuMD1l6 — Rob Tannenbaum (@tannenbaumr) July 9, 2013
