I have an Interview With Brokencyde.
JD:
Ask them if they were expecting a serious interview.

Are they playing the system, or genuinely producing what they consider to be good music (at least as far as what they're trying to produce)?

Also, Brokencyde really aren't THAT succesful, and they probably won't ever be? They might be doing pretty well by underground standards and maybe they make enough to do music professionally but ultimately they are more infamous than famous.
Also it's probably worth noting that -at least in my experience with my local scene- hardcore/scene kids have always had a pretty self-aware or "ironic" love for dirty south and crunk music, and going further back than that gangster rap in the 90's (Remember Biohazard, guys?). In retrospect it's hardly surprising that someone actually combined the two in music. It's also hardly surprising that the result was dogshit.
Sox:
You clearly haven't met their fans.
People who like BrokeNCYDE REALLY like BrokeNCYDE.
BrokeNCYDE are a story. Like, you listen to their whole catalogue and there's an obvious story of musicians growing together and maturing. Are you saying a Henry James novel is inaccessible because you don't wanna read all those pages?
I don't really know that many people who know them or even like them.
They are one thing. Three, occasionally four things, but one thing. And sometimes a crunk pig.
They stick out because you hear something else. They wrote songs as timeless as rock songs can be.
They don't think about this as like "oh, we're a joke, we're an indie band, we don't wanna be anything, we write these songs that no-one understands", they're thinking "this stuff kicks ass."
It's true that they sold X number of records instead of fifty times X or whatever, but, still, there's people out there for who it's like...a very important thing.
Christophe:
In ten years, I'm gonna go on a killing spree if people aren't completely freaking out about brokeNCYDE.
