| ICP's Bio |
 |
ICP a'int new, juggalos, ICP were in Detroit's music underground since they were in school, when there was 4 members. In 1990, ICP and their manager Alex Abbiss started their own independent record label and called it Psychopathic Records, because no other label was stupid enough to sigh 2 serial killing wicked clowns. ICP debuted on Psychopathic with their very first release of a 4 song EP entitcalled DOG BEATS, which sold fuck all. Then it was on to the legend Joker's Cards, starting with the 1st in 1991, CARNIVAL OF CARNAGE which did OK. Then came the RINGMASTER in 1993, which did better. At this point, ICP started to get some props, but they still lived like homeless crackheads. Alex Abbiss signed ICP to a small record deal with Jive Records and together with Psychopathic, they put out the 3rd Joker's Card in 1995, THE RIDDLEBOX.
Jive treated ICP like a shit... they picked them and then for some sick reason they treid to eat them. The Clowns escaped the jaws of Jive and landed at Hollywood Records ( owned by Disney ), after Jive got paid. Hollywood Records was great. They treated Shaggy and Violent J like the Jackson 2. We're talkin' limos, money, chicks and all that shit. But then on the day the 4th Jokers Card, THE GREAT MILENKO came out, Hollywood daddy, Mickey Mouse got pissed and threw ICP and their album right the fuck out of the shity fuck faced label. I guess Mickey was scared of the controversy. The funny thing was ICP never complained when Mickey used to bone Minnie Mouse in his office with the door open. She used to come walkin down the halls with her big cartoony titties all fallin out and shit, yet nobody cared. As soon as ICP stepped out of line however, they got pissed. While ICP and Abbiss were sitting around plotting Mickey's murder, here comes Island Records. Before you can say "where do we sign?" they gave ICP money, booze, chicks, helicopters, cars with electric windows, you name it. Island treated ICP like they're multi-platinum superstars even though they really ain't shit. As soon as ICP signed the contact however, Island smacked em across the mouth and took all the fresh shit back. Island did however put THE GREAT MILENKO back in the stores and that's enough for ICP. They do a good job with ICP's music, so they're happy with Island. The most recent Joker's Card was THE AMAZING JECKEL BROTHERS in 1999. In between the albums ICP released EP's to keep the juggalos interested... They were BEVERLY KILLS in 1992, TERROR WHEEL in 1994 and THE TUNNEL OF LOVE in 1996. THE MULTILATION MIX was a CD that you can only buy at the concerts of ICP. It's a collection of ICP hits and shit all edit together mix style. Shaggy 2 Dope released a solo EP at sometime called "FUCK OFF!".
Also there were ICP Christmas and Halloween releases, and free give away singles. To fully capture the complete catalog of Insane Clown Posse is next to impossible, yet the hardest to find singles and rarest songs ICP ever made are on THE FORGOTTEN FRESHNESS CD's, B-sides, re-mixes, songs that got scrapped, songs that suck, songs that couldn't fit on albums, and all that shit. Oh yeah, Island Records is re-releasing the entire Psychopathic back catalog nationwide. you will now be able to find all them ICP albums and EP's that were prviously only released in Detroit. So buy them all.
