| 5 | Big Hoodoo is a rapper from UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}}. Also known as Doe Dubbla and The Jinx, whose stage persona contains copious amounts of HollywoodVoodoo and West African BlackMagic. His appearance is heavily inspired by Baron Samedi, one of the Loa of Haitian Voodoo. However, due to the crossover between Music/InsaneClownPosse's fanbase and ProfessionalWrestling fans, many {{UsefulNotes/Juggalo}}s have compared Big Hoodoo to Papa Shango, whose appearance was also inspired by Baron Samedi's. |

| 7 | Big Hoodoo's lyrical style can be broadly described as {{Horrorcore}}, with elements of Type 3 GangstaRap, with Hoodoo using horror fantasy as a metaphor for the WretchedHive of inner city street life, and as a form of escapism. |

| 9 | After releasing a local album as Doe Dubbla, he was introduced to Juggalos via Psychopathic's anti-FBI freestyle in 2012, but was not officially signed to Psychopathic until June 2013 due to apparent difficulties in attaining copyrights trademarking his stage names. He was officially announced to have signed to Psychopathic with the music video for "Hexed", off his Psychopathic debut album ''Crystal Skull''. |

| 19 | !!Big Hoodoo and his music provides examples of: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * BlackMagic: The Jinx' preferred form of supernatural ability is HollywoodVoodoo hexes and spells. |
| 22 | * DrugsAreBad: "Never Had" talks about Big Hoodoo's mom being addicted to drugs. "Blitzed" and "Crystal Skull" talk about violent murder committed while on drugs/alcohol. |
| 23 | * HollywoodVoodoo: Invoked and subverted. Big Hoodoo has facepaint and costumes that make him look like Baron Samedi, but his abilities are often used for BlackMagic, tying in with {{Horrorcore}} lyrical themes, but Hoodoo also refers to using his magic for healing purposes in the song "Give It Life". |
| 24 | * {{Horrorcore}}: Mixes this with touches of Type 3 GangstaRap. |
| 25 | * WretchedHive: UsefulNotes/{{Detroit}} is described as this in the song "Detroit Murderous". |
