I've often thought of just how nervous ICP must've been when they held their first performance as the Insane Clown Posse, rather than the Inner City Posse. The 90's Detroit underground hip-hop scene definitely attracted a rough crowd. I would've been scared shitless to come out on stage, honking my nose.

The thing is though, they BLEW UP. Attracting the attentions of legendary local emcees, Esham, and Awesome Dre; and making other local, and still unknown artists, like Eminem, and Kid Rock, extremely jealous. Soon enough, they toured the country in a van, promoting the shit out of their own records, until eventually having their 5th LP debut at #4 on the Billboard charts without any help from radio, or MTV. That is, unless you count the whole controversy with Disney in 1997.

They're certainly doing something right. Especially since it seems that there are Juggalos all over the world.

Sorry for the rant. :o I just haven't been this excited about posting something here since the KoRn threads.

But yeah, they have released some utter shit (see The Wraith: Shangi-La). But there's something that can be said about 2 guys who can be so successful painting their faces, and singing songs about eating dead bodies, drinking Faygo, and fucking fat chicks with hunchbacks.

I guess it must be the "CUM HERE" written on her soles, mixed with the ICP shirt, that attracts me most. Although, I must say, being a Juggalette, she's probably in the mood for something a little raunchier. Hence the boredom.

Yes, there is a lot to be said for the DIY marketing ethic and the creation of a self-sustaining and universally reviled subculture catering to the absolute lowest common denominator.

You're all prudes.

I'd rather watch this.

Hahaha, that was a good one. I seriously can't believe that people don't think you're funny.
Do you believe there is a connection between prudes and pseuds?

it never ceases to amaze me, just how expert pornography is at rendering the most amazing concepts into the most boring. i mean seriously, how hard can it be?

no, just picky.

that said, I'd stick my finger in the pirate-LARP girl's butt.

she may not be as "bangin'", but she looks as if she could be turned on by my talk of event horizons, gravitonic distortion and space-time geekery (as I finger her butt).

Fixed.

Fucking coulrophobes.

Probably not. I'm not the one-night stand type, so I generally only want to screw people that I'd want to be in a relationship with.

Now if I was really drunk and horny and some sexy Jugallette wanted to sit on my dick. . . then probably yes. But I probably wouldn't sober. Unless I was really really desperate.

i'm decoding this thread with my icp decoder. (love having record store owning friends!)

I sold an ICP picture disc 7-inch a couple of weeks ago.
I had to put on a HAZMAT suit to handle it for grading.

acceptable

i bet you still feel dirty though
Youll never lose the smell....

WHOOP WHOOP

i listened to them all, prom queen wasn't obnoxious but it wasn't very good. the other two had predictable lyrics and an obnoxious sound.

anyways link more tracks you like, i need icp stuff to reference when i encounter a juggaho with large breasts

Yeah, they don't necessarily have the most complex rhyme schemes. That, I can admit.

Ummm..

If you liked Prom Queen, you might like stuff from the Riddlebox era. Check out Lil Somethin' Somethin. Or if you really wanna get some neden, play Love Song, it's one of my all-time favorites. And if you need to assure her that you're truly down with the clown, just mention the Dog Beats.

And just for fun, check out Is That You? feat Kid Rock.

I write better rhymes than that and I SUCK. go ahead, listen to koRn, but oh FUUCK!!

it's because you're young and don't KNOW how MCs on the mic should FLOW.

the beats are good, but the rhymes are fucking SLOPPY. all that's missing from that shit is the clown JALOPY.



yes, I did just rhyme sloppy and jalopy. SEEN.

oh! i'd most definitely mmm-mmm!

flotterz, you must never allow me near gungirls, or i'll have the unplug your motherboard. i'm weak with temptation and all that, and we're just "internet friends", so really, stabbing you in the rear console would be no disloyalty, but a mere trifle, par for the course, all the cliches that say i'd get you out of the way by all means necessary.



no, not really. i think you are the only sentient being capable of living with her. props for that.

Is that the key to your chastity belt?

it looks awful flimsy, doesn't it?

Hey you know parents these days.

I think I have a pretty decent idea of how emcees should sound. I listen to a fair amount of DOOM, Geto Boys, early Triple Six Mafia, Tribe Called Quest, Wu-Tang, Black Star, Snoop, Dr. Dre, Esham, Awesome Dre, Eminem, Beastie Boys, N.W.A., etc. I'm not the biggest hip-hop head, but I certainly am not unexposed to the genre in any sense (yes, I've heard acts like Zion I, Kool Moe Dee, and De La Soul, before anyone mentions them). I've admitted that ICP are far from the best emcees, but they're certainly not as talentless as what you just shat out. No offense.

It's not the skill involved in making their music that attracts me to it. In fact, sometimes it can be the exact opposite. For example, I can't get enough of Shaggy's singing. It's soooo off key and horrid. Or lines like "Well, I'm up for the shot in a minute/Show me a valley, I might go in it". The music is very self-aware.

It's not really the rhymes that are the best part of their lyrics. Listening to a great ICP song can be a lot like watching one of my favorite cheesy slasher films. It's not meant to be taken so seriously. They're the fucking INSANE CLOWN POSSE for fuck's sake. Plus, I get a kick every time they mention local streets like Gratiot and Livernois. I pass by the places in these songs daily.

You know what I'm sayin?

I'm sorry. suck and fuck rhymed. I still love you.

Can I slurp Faygo out your anus, you ignoramus?

that will give you the perfect chance to stare lovingly at my hatchetman tramp stamp. :o

I'm going to start dressing like KRS-1.

Well Now I know what it is.
