Insane Clown Posse

I'm an I.C.P. fan, too.

I enjoy their offbeat style and the fact that they can rap without saying the words "n***a", "gangsta", or "pimp". They're rappers who aren't afraid to show their violent, twisted side, and who aren't afraid to take people on without all their guns and their friends. Not all of their songs are good (no artist is perfect), and I don't agree with everything they say, but overall they're pretty good. No other band, not even Rage Against The Machine, has managed to bring rock and rap together so seamlessly that it changes genres sometimes in the middle of a song. Whether you love them or hate them, you have to admit that they're unique. Nobody else is like them.

For those that hate I.C.P. and think they have nothing intelligent to say, I advise listening to "Nothing's Left". That song is different from most of their stuff, and if you think about it it's true. There's not even any profanity except in the beginning.

[Pheesh]

i will look past the fact that you compared I.C.P. to rage against the machine. They don't do rock they just rap about twisted stuff an they're unique because no-one else wants to sing about doing someone's mum. i'm not saying they're bad but they're no more talented than other rappers (who aren't very talented).

[Hawkeye]

i have a fear of clowns. im not joking

[m4tt]

Anyways, I listened to a song of theirs because she asked me too and it was like "BITCHEEEEEES! BITCHEEEEEES" and it frightened me.

Haha that's one of my favorite songs. <3 ICP and ODB

[Rool]

what's the name of that dating game show song they do? haha i think that one would bring smiles to everyone.

[TheAbominatrix]

Even though I've never heard that song, it pisses me off because I cant find the theme song to the old Dating Game show because all I get are ICP results. ARGH!

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

It's not them I hate so much as it is their fans in general. You know, the overly excitable ones who love to rant about how they learned to be psychopathic jugglers 4 lyfe.

That would be, "Neden Game," off the ICP's 4th Joker's card, the Great Milenko.

They don't do rock they just rap about twisted stuff an they're unique because no-one else wants to sing about doing someone's mum. i'm not saying they're bad but they're no more talented than other rappers (who aren't very talented).

I was trying to compare rock/rap hybrids and how seamlessly they blended the two styles, not necessarily the bands themselves. If you think I.C.P. never does rock, listen to the Chicken Huntin Slaughterhouse Remix. (The original sucked, but the remix was good.) They rap for the verses, but the chorus is pretty much rock, as is some of the background music. Wheras RATM basically raps to rock music most of the time. (Not that that's bad--I'm also a RATM fan.)

Many people are focusing more on the subject matter (which I don't entirely agree with myself) and are looking past the music and the style. Many "not very talented rappers" get somebody to lay a beat down for them and spit racial slurs at about 125MPH. They often have nothing worth saying, and the beats are usually a dime a dozen. I.C.P. does have something to say (even if you don't agree with it), and they incorporate not just rock and rap, but also carnival music, piano, and many other styles. I'm simplifying things here, but like 'em or hate 'em, you have to give them credit for diversity, and for having so many fans with virtually no MTV or radio play.

I agree that some of the fans need to cool it a little, and this goes for fans of ANY artist, not just I.C.P. fans. The "Hatez" also should calm down. Temple Knight, if that's the most intelligent criticism you can offer, then you should stop and think a minute. I don't have a problem with you hating I.C.P., but don't hate for no apparent reason.

[SomethingBig]

Does listening to their music for a good laugh count as likin' 'em?

[TheAbominatrix]

Depends on why you're laughing.

[SomethingBig]

I'll be honest. I think that they're lyrics are so bad that they warrant laughter. They've become so funny that the lyrics have become one of my friends and my biggest inside jokes.

[DMKA]

I cant stand them. Why the clown thing, I have no idea... it's laughable, really. I highly dislike their music and I highly dislike their attitudes. There isnt a thing about them I like.

That about sums up my feelings. My sister and her bf are huge fans of them though, so I've heard like...EVERYTHING by them. Some of the stuff is actually funny.

"Pass Me By" on their CD entitled The Great Malinko is the only song by them that I can say is decent. It at least has a message in it.
