All beats for the Rydas music are stolen, or used without permission, from mainstream artists such as Nelly, The Godfather and Cypress Hill. If a lawsuit were ever to be filed against them, they would just close down the label and walk. To date, The Rydas remain free from legal action.
As the Rydas, the artists take on the aliases of Bullet (Violent J), Full Clip (Shaggy 2 Dope), Foe Foe (Monoxide), Lil' Shank (Jamie Madrox), Cell Block (Blaze Ya Dead Homie), and Yung Dirt (Boondox).
Compared to their alter egos on Psychopathic Records, the Rydas are unique in that their music is not horrorcore, but gangsta rap.
In 2000, Myzery left Psychopathic Records, hence removing Twin Gatz from the Rydas lineup. Many believed the group would be weakened because of this, but the group remained stronger than ever. In 2001, their second album was released at the 2nd Gathering and was entitled Ryden Dirtay. It featured the remaining five Rydas and is widely considered to be better than the first album.
Also in 2002, Pendulum #7 from the Pendulum comic books was released, featuring 3 Rydas solo songs: What Rydas Do Fo Money?, by Full Clip, and Who Wanna Flex? & I Don't Wanna Die, by Bullet.
Their third album, Check Your Shit in Bitch!, was released in 2004. This album featured "Sawed Off" and "Converse", bringing the Rydas lineup to its highest at 7 members, and featured 13 brand new tracks. Plus, an untitled EP was sold alongside the album at the 2004 Gathering, featuring a song off the album called Scrimps, as well as three exclusive songs. Also, at that year's Gathering the Rydas performed at the Mystery Seminar, minus Converse.
On October 21, 2005, Esham officially left Psychopathic Records, as did Anybody Killa on February 3, 2006, therefore removing Sawed Off and Converse from the lineup.
There are currently 6 members in the group working on a new album in their portable studio while on The Tempest Tour. In a recent interview from Violent J from faygoluvers.net, the title of the new album will be Duk Da Fuk Down, and it is expected to be released sometime in 2007. The new lineup will be Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and at the time newly added Boondox.
In the special Gathering 07' addition of Weekly Freekly Weekly on the scrolling text box says one of the new rydas name is Yung Dirt, pointing to Boondox because of the southern roots and talking bout "the red dirt looks like blood" from lyrics on his songs.
In July 2007, the new Psychopathic Rydas video for the song Duk Da Fuk Down was released, introducing the new member Yung Dirt (Boondox). The video shows gangsta rap imagery, continuing the classic and known Psychopathic Rydas themes.

Somebody's Gettin' Shot is a song by Psychopathic Rydas, a side project of Insane Clown Posse which features ICP's Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, along with other members of the Psychopathic Records label. The song is filled with violent and aggressive lyrics that depict a world where anyone who crosses the Rydas gets shot without hesitation. The first verse by Young Dirt describes him pulling up to a corner with his SUV and a gun in his hand, ready to take out anyone who dares to mess with him. Lil Shank's verse talks about his own experiences with violence and how he always keeps it thuggish, no matter what.
The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, emphasizes the Rydas' brutal approach to life. They are always ready to pop, drop, and blast someone who annoys them, and they see violence as the only way to solve problems. The verses by Cellblock, Bullet, and Full Clip continue this theme, describing their own experiences with guns and how they use them to maintain their power on the streets.
Overall, Somebody's Gettin' Shot is a song that celebrates violence and aggression. The Rydas see themselves as the ultimate badasses who can take on anyone and win, and they use their guns as a symbol of their power. The song is not meant to be taken seriously, and it's clear that the Rydas are exaggerating their own toughness and bravery. However, the violent imagery and language used in the song can be disturbing to some listeners, and it's not a song that everyone will enjoy.

Drive to the street corner with loud music and notice haters standing there looking tough, their demeanor is causing issues and someone is going to get shot by me.
I′m in an SUV (Who the fuck you be)I got the answer for the question pointed at your teeth And i'm just beein Modest your gunna need an orthadontist when I pull that heater that 9 millimeter Make a fuckin barrel bop.
I'm riding in a big car, and someone is questioning my identity, I reply with an answer in a humble way, and when I show my gun it will need an orthodontist to fix damaged teeth from the bullet's impact.

My fear is taking over, realizing someone will get shot in the parking lot. I had control and handled the opponent's fate, and while the other person struggles, I need to keep it real I have to act like a true thug. I'm one of the gang riders, and people know there's a chance of getting killed when you mess with us. Even after being drunk, the other person already knows I'm having fun.
Sombody′s gettin shot i'ma pop some onei′ma drop some one i'ma blast. And I can't help it.
Someone will get shot, and I will take someone down without control, it's just the way it is.
The club got a wack D.J
This place is not good as the DJ isn't as expected.
Sombody′s gettin shot
Someone will receive a shot.
Flip me off on the freeway
After being challenged or insulted while driving, someone will get shot.
And I can't help it
I can't stop myself from pulling the trigger.
Sombody′s gettin shot i'ma pop someone i′ma drop someone i'ma blast. And I can′t help it.
Someone will get shot. I will take someone down without control, it's just the way it is.
If you breathe my fuckin air
If someone annoys me, they will get shot.
Somebody's gettin shot.
Somebody will receive a shot.
If your just standin there
Even if someone is just standing, they will get shot.
Now wanna duck the fuck down But somebody's still gettin shot Talkin anybody, Anywhere we takin over blocks Fuck the cops fuck the (?)and DA They can never find a witness so they never have a case My DNA Comin down to let the oldies that I used when I pull the tollie out the waist i′ma waste some fools sombodys gettin shot they put that on my props Spitin shots at the cops til they all drop
I'm going to take over the streets, and even if someone tries to hide, they will receive a bullet. I don't care who they are, whether they are law enforcement or anyone else. There won't be any evidence, so I can easily escape the consequences. The same DNA I inherit from my predecessors when using a gun will make me waste someone. People will never forget my name because I'm a badass with a gun, I don't mind even shooting at the cops.
When I wake up everymorning sombody′s gettin shot Catch a bitch gettin lip loose I choke em on the spot I smoke alot of pot And shot a fuckin enginer for fuckin with my mixer I need the bass out clear If I start to love a bitch somebodys gettin shot if she sucks a mean dick it's cuz she sucks alot of cock I drink alot of rot cot Hot rocks in a slut somones gettin shot slugs flarin outa black truck.
Even when I wake up, someone will receive a bullet. If a girl messes with me and disrespects me, they'll receive choking as punishment. I do drugs, and I shot a sound engineer who messes with my mixer for the sound of the bass. If I start loving someone, be aware someone will be shot, and even if a girl is good at giving head, it doesn't save her from being shot. I drink a lot of rotgut and enjoy myself. In my truck, I shoot people with plenty of bullets.
What the fuck ya′ll wannna do
What do you want to do to me?
Sombodys gettin shot
Someone will receive a bullet.
Man fuck ya'll too
I don't care about anyone else.
Somebodys gettin shot
Someone will receive a bullet.
A first with out a gun
Can't achieve anything without using a gun.
Somebodys gettin shot
Someone will receive a bullet.
Fuckin wit me when I′m drunk
Don't mess with me when I'm drunk, or you will regret it.
Somebodys gettin shot
Someone will receive a bullet.
It's full clip here to put in that work Makin led wistle And limbs gettin burnt my index finger Gettin sweet loved and worked out Aint out for the money no bitches wanna see you fall down shut the fuck up and let a ryda do what a ryda do I′m squezzin em off and leavin your droors full of doo-doo My hood lookin like i'm in a black hum v beein on like a beach shootin em down like an O.G
I'm ready to use my gun, get into action and catch attention. I'm experienced and equipped with the necessary skills. I don't care about money, and I don't want anyone to see me fail. Shut up and let me do what I have to do. When I shoot, there will be a lot of mess, making even the drawers full of a mess. My weapons and tactics are so advanced that I look like I'm in an army. I shoot with accuracy and determination, just like a gangster.
If you try to pull my car
If someone tries to engage with me, they will regret it.
Somebody's gettin shot.
Someone will receive a bullet.
If you starin to hard
If someone stares too hard, there will be problems.
Somebody′s gettin shot.
Someone will receive a bullet.
If you breathe my fuckin air
If someone annoys me, they will get shot.
Somebodys gettin shot.
Someone is going to receive a bullet.
If you just stadin there
Even if someone is just standing there, they will receive a bullet.
Somebody′s gettin shot.
Someone will receive a bullet.
