Insane Clown Posse:
Wikipedia:
Insane Clown Posse, often abbreviated as ICP, is an American hip hop duo composed of Violent J (Joseph Bruce) and Shaggy 2 Dope (originally 2 Dope; Joseph Utsler). Founded in Detroit in 1989, 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 has 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. They formed their own professional wrestling federation, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, and later collaborated with many well-known hip hop and rock musicians.
The songs of Insane Clown Posse center thematically on the mythology of the Dark Carnival, a metaphoric limbo in which the lives of the dead are judged by one of several entities. The Dark Carnival is elaborated through a series of stories called Joker's Cards, each of which offers a specific lesson designed to change the "evil ways" of listeners before "the end consumes us all". The original lineup of Insane Clown Posse was John Utsler (John Kickjazz), Joe Bruce (Violent J) and Joey Utsler (Shaggy 2 Dope). John Utsler left before Carnival of Carnage was released in 1992.
Fearless Fred Fury:
Wikipedia:
Fearless Fred Fury is the fifteenth studio album by American hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse, and their fourth Joker Card in the second Deck of the Dark Carnival Saga. Originally planned for release simultaneously with their upcoming twelve-track extended play titled Flip The Rat on October 26, 2018 via Psychopathic Records, it was delayed until February 15, 2019.
Fearless Fred Fury is Insane Clown Posse's first album since 1999's The Amazing Jeckel Brothers to feature a plain black background on the cover.
AllMusic Review by Fred Thomas:
Thirty years in, it's hard to separate Insane Clown Posse's music from their looming and often reviled legacy. More attention has been paid to the Insane Clown's Faygo-spraying antics and the cultural phenomenon of their cultishly devoted fans than the music they've been making since 1989. At the core of the entire circus is a brand of horrorcore rap that jumps between proudly juvenile and theatrically violent lyrics, with the duo of Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J perpetually expanding on the Dark Carnival mythology they began in the early '90s. Fearless Fred Fury is the group's 15th studio album, and like much of their bottomless discography, the songs here are over-the-top depictions of gore, stabs at social commentary, or detours of sophomoric humor. A loose concept follows a demonic character named Fred Fury who terrorizes mortal souls wasting the opportunities life offers them, though Fred only shows up implicitly on a few songs. Also like the majority of ICP's catalog, the album is willfully obnoxious, tedious and hard to take seriously. That's not to say it's without merit or that the clowns haven't developed musically in the past three decades. The multisyllabic flows on "Fury!" and the anthemic "Freedom" are more technically advanced than the majority of the group's often entry-level approaches to rhyme patterns, and they play with interconnected rhyming more here than usual. The lowbrow cleverness of lyrics about everyday experiences is no doubt a huge part of ICP's charm, and that crass wit is on full display on tracks about gamers wasting away in their parent's basements ("Game Over" and appreciating the hand you've been dealt ("Satellite", as well as on a plethora of horror raps. There's also a sense that they're branching out musically, with several unexpected production turns. The subdued "Nobody's Fault" is ICP's take on atmospheric, sad-boy rap and "Low" creatively flips the beat from a Zombies song. At almost 70 minutes -- that mostly tends towards cartoonish attempts at terror, corny beats, and general dumbness -- Fearless Fred Fury will wear out its welcome quickly for those uninitiated in the ways of the juggalo. At this point, Shaggy and Violent J have reached their mid forties without changing much about the approach they began as teens, only straying from their shtick to get as deep as their much-mocked 2010 "what-does-it-all-mean" single "Miracles" would allow. The ridiculous personas and questionable rap skills are about the same on album number 15 as they were on most of the albums that came before it. As such, this joker's card will delight the fans as much as any other and should be avoided by those not already down with the clown.
