ICP: Giving trailer trash hope since 1989

[moomoo]

I voted for ICP because it's quite the contrary to my preferred choice.

[Shooters08]

ICP? your an idiot.
Not the guy above me, the guy that made this thread

[juloxx]

They should fuse, like in Dragon Ball Z.

[juloxx]

But if you truly get them, they are alot more than that. Hell they helped restore my faith in God if you can belive that...

hahahahahahah.....im sorry but..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

This article is actually kind of sad if you actually get through it, ill paraphrase some

Their first band, Inner City Posse, was without clown make-up. They were gangsta rappers, and consequently found themselves behaving in a gangster-like manner. In 1989, Violent J was jailed for 90 days for death threats, robbery and violating probation. When he got out, he and Shaggy made some life-defining decisions. How could they keep their rap career going but move away from the destructive gang lifestyle? How could they change the band's name but keep the initials ICP? People liked the initials ICP.

And then it came to them in a flash: Insane Clown Posse! Killer clown rap! It was the perfect outlet for their emotions. Write about the pain and the anger through the prism of horror-movie imagery. A whole new genre.

Violent J explained himself unapologetically to a New Jersey newspaper: "You have to speak their language. You have to interest them, gain their trust, talk to them and show you're one of them. You're a person from the street and you speak of your experiences. Then at the end you can tell them: God has helped me."

In regards to Miracles:

"Did you anticipate this kind of reaction?" I ask them.

"No," sighs Violent J. "I figured most people would say, 'Wow, I didn't know Insane Clown Posse could be deep like that.' But instead it's, 'ICP said a giraffe is a miracle. Ha ha ha! What a bunch of idiots.'" He pauses, then adds defiantly, "A giraffe is a fucking miracle. It has a dinosaur-like neck. It's yellow. Yeah, technically an elephant is not a miracle. Technically. They've been here for hundreds of years…"

"Thousands," murmurs Shaggy.

"Have you ever stood next to an elephant, my friend?" asks Violent J. "A fucking elephant is a miracle. If people can't see a fucking miracle in a fucking elephant, then life must suck for them, because an elephant is a fucking miracle. So is a giraffe."

Blender magazine, in its list of the 50 worst artists in music history, call ICP the very worst of all: "Insane Clown Posse sound even stupider than they look. Two trailer-trash types who wear face paint, pretend to be a street gang and drench cult devotees in cheap soda called Faygo, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope are more notorious for their beef with Eminem than their ham-fisted rap-rock music." And their nadir, Blender said, the worst musical moment from the worst band ever, is The Wraith: Shangri-La, the album that climaxes with Thy Unveiling.

I suddenly wonder, halfway through our interview, if I am looking at two men in clown make-up who are suffering from depression. I cautiously ask them this and Violent J immediately replies. "I'm medicated," he says. "I have a lot of medicine that I take. For depression. Panic attacks are really a serious part of my life." He points at Shaggy. "He's gone through some things as well."

Shaggy nods quietly. "I get anxiety and shit a lot," he says. "And reading that stuff people write about us… It hurts."

"Least talented band in the world," Violent J says. "No talent. When I hear that I think, 'Damn. Are we that different from people?'"

Kinda adds another/a dimension to the idea behind the facepaint.....

Sometimes you just have to stand your ground. Fuck Daft Punk!

You're treading on my ground now...take that back, or I'll send you to the moon, Marooko!

[DFrank]

Wow, after reading that interview i feel bad for them. Almost.

[thewoodenman]

elephants and giraffes... i get it

[xanman86]

lol this thread is still going?

[Ardentbiscuit]

I'm sure someone is going to start a new indie hipster band now called "Clown vs. Robot".

[Panda421]

That article reminds me of the Chappelle skit about the black white supremacist. All their followers for all those years must have had their minds blown. "Oh yeah all that stuff about murdering a dog, hitting women and being gangster was a trick. Go with Christ dawg!"

[TomAz]

I can't tell much difference between the two.

That whole article is so quotable it's hard to pick out what parts to share without just repeating it verbatim.

Here let me help...

"He shoots me a defiant look and says, "You know Miracles? Let me tell you, if Alanis Morissette had done that fucking song everyone would have called it fucking genius.""

How was that...?

[JebusLives]

actually that was pretty clever. "Miracles" is to miracles as "Isn't it Ironic" is to irony. She frequently misused language but completely got away with it.

[faxman75]

This poll should be restarted. Miracles >>>Tron I bet ICP wins the next time.

Clown love you bitchez

[heart cooks brain]

ICP should close the Gobi during Daft Punk Saturday night. Let's bring this thread into reality Paul!

[1965!]

next battle limp biskit vs arcade fire

[Leeartlee]

Excellent! It's good to know that the majority of the coachella goers aren't assholes.

It still really amazes me that ICP even has a fan base. Do you suppose that it's because they paint they're faces like clowns?

If it worked for Kiss... (nothing new under the sun, as they say)

[lickety_spit]

Fuck Daft Punk!

[Shooters08]

This gets the award for most dumb thread ever!

[pattycakes]

Im gratful for ICP. They have some of the greatest fans ever. Who else is gonna bash and beat on Tila Tequila? let them do the dirty work. lol

[Ardentbiscuit]

If this is a re post sorry but I was so fascinated that ICP was on 1,000 Ways to Die

[Sleepingrock]

That is sad.

[nyarlathotoats]

Well....I can't really vote for one or the other. Different strokes for different folks. I have friends that listen to ICP & Daft Punk, so who cares.
