Insane Clown Posse, often abbreviated as ICP, is an American hip hop duo. Formed in Detroit in 1989, ICP’s best-known lineup consists of rappers Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope. Insane Clown Posse performs a style of hardcore hip hop known as horrorcore and is known for its elaborate live performances. The duo has earned two platinum and five gold albums. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the entire catalog of the group had sold 6.5 million units in the United States and Canada as of April 2007. The group has established a dedicated following called Juggalos numbering in the “tens of thousands”. Originally known as JJ Boyz and Inner City Posse, the group introduced supernatural and horror-themed lyrics as a means of distinguishing itself stylistically. The duo founded the independent record label Psychopathic Records with Alex Abbiss as manager, and produced and starred in the feature films Big Money Hustlas and Big Money Rustlas.
Below made me chuckle, hahaha:
During episode 56 of Palcast, Shaggy 2 Dope was asked if the use of Auto-Tune in this track was meant as a criticism of modern rappers or if ICP were just trying out a new style. He responded:
“None of your business. It’s not a Q and A. Actually, it kind of is. I don’t fuckin’ know, man. […] I don’t hate on [Auto-tune…] If it’s over-used, it sounds like shit. It’s gotta be used very strategically, I think.”
Shaggy’s refusal to give a clear answer likely implies that he had little to do with the song compared to Violent J, who raps every verse.[1]
