Insane Clown Posse

Well, me living in the Detroit area I have to deal with this stuff all the time. There pictures are on billboards, the kids paint their faces, but I still think make probably the sorryest excuse for "music" ever. And having heard them interviewed, they are also total morons (and having seen Marilyn Manson interviewed in Bowling For Columbine, where he seemed very smart and witty, it just made ICP seem even more stupid).

I have a feeling this thread will attract a lot of random Googlers, as most ICP fans are 14 year olds who search the web for anything and everything ICP related, and if people disagree they quickly exclaim "FAGGOT HATERS, YOU JUST AINT DOWN WIT DA CLOWN HOLY CRAP IM RETARDED"

Thoughts?

this is the way you ask this question.

ithink they are funny and have some good trax sometimes and i dont relate them to their stupid fans that take them seriously and they are just really lucky i mean i like them better than BMRC, Trail of Dead n shit.

chaki (chaki), Monday, 11 November 2002 12:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Chaki is OTM. I'm probably not going to get the new one because they parted ways with Mike E. Clark, but _Ringmaster_ and _Riddle Box_ are stone classics and the other albums have at least one classic track on them.

Search: "Wizard In The Hood"
"Psychopatchic"
"Beverly Kills"
"The Stalker"
"Murder Go Round"
"The Dead One"
"Wagon Wagon"
"My Fun House"
"The Loons"
"Who Are You"
"One For The Maggots"
"The Show Must Go On"
"Three Rings"
"12"
"The Killing Fields"
"Skitsofrantic"
"Cotton Candy"
"Amy's In The Attic"
"Stomp"
"Hocus Pocus"
"Boogie Woogie Wu"
"I Stab People"
"Bizzar"
"Please Don't Hate Me"
"Mr. Happy"

That joke never gets old. I laugh every time I see that In the Fishtank EP at Tower, imagining some greasy rural Louisiana teen buying it, playing it for their Juggalo friends, loving it, becoming huge avant fans and never realizing that it's not the Insane Clown Posse.

adam (adam), Monday, 11 November 2002 18:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

there are a LOT (i mean a LOT) of juggalo's in olympia.

jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 11 November 2002 18:28 (twenty-one years ago) link

a few years ago when my brother worked in a record store, every time a prepubescent fat kid brought the new ICP to the counter, he'd ask them, point blank "so...are you a juggalo?". usually they'd just sheepishly reply "yeah" and rush out before the small talk could continue.

Al (sitcom), Monday, 11 November 2002 19:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

They were probably afraid of getting their asses kicked!

I forgot "Hey Vato" in the search list, BTW.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 11 November 2002 21:14 (twenty-one years ago) link

To all the juggallos that may read this, I pose you this:
"Bugz on My Nugz." What the hell happened there?

David Allen, Monday, 11 November 2002 23:52 (twenty-one years ago) link

While I'm not familiar with their oeuvre, any band that comes up with a song title like "We Give No Fuck" has something special going on.

dan (dan), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:05 (twenty-one years ago) link

Oh come on, ICP's finest moment is that impression of Dre and Eminem having sex on whatever that diss record was called ("Nothin' But A Fag Thing" was it?). Everyone knows that.

Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:17 (twenty-one years ago) link

I suppose the impact of that would be kinda dulled by Em's tongue-in-cheek admision that him and Dre "been fuckin' with hats off" though, wouldn't it?

Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:19 (twenty-one years ago) link

ICP's worst moment was rapping over a Beck beat. I mean, ever Beck doesn't rap over Beck beats any more. Sheesh.

David Allen, Tuesday, 12 November 2002 00:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

"Another Love Song", I believe it was called.

David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 07:01 (twenty-one years ago) link

Did you know that there are Juggalo conventions?

Nicole (Nicole), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 14:20 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yes, I did. And I would NEVER go to one.

"Bugz On My Nugz" is goofy fun with a bouncy beat and "Another Love Song" is pretty hilarious for the little spoken asides before the choruses. Neither is a classic, though.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 12 November 2002 15:00 (twenty-one years ago) link

it seemed like they were around forever in detroit before breaking big, they were no bigger than selling out the state and then all of a sudden they were famous. weird. kinda like kid rock too. but this was when detroit was still the armpit of the world and not detroit rock city.

OleM (OleM), Thursday, 22 September 2005 19:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Which song??? And which ones do they list instead?

(Also "Mr. Happy" should be removed from my list and replaced with "Hey Vato".)

I don't like any hip-hop but the mockery surrounding ICP/"juggalo culture" for the past decade or so always struck me as a thinly veiled excuse for upper-middle class white leftists to gawk at & make fun of poor people

punksishippies, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 21:34 (seven years ago) link

Οὖτις, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 21:34 (seven years ago) link

What's funny to me is that a lot of people who got into ICP "ironically" because of "Miracles" like the group for pretty much the exact same reasons their actual fans do

Camaraderie at Arms Length, Tuesday, 20 September 2016 22:38 (seven years ago) link

i still 100% agree with my from 13 years ago, global tetrahedron. ICP > BRMC. Also the "wah wah liberals making fun of poor people" is kind of invalidated when you realize that Juggalos actively encourage homophobic and misogynist behaviour. Remember the Tila Tequila incident?

Yeah, they seem like decent guys.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.
