The staff over at Spin.com recently put together a list of the 100 Best Alternative Rock Songs of 1994. In a pleasant surprise, Insane Clown Posse was featured on this list.
Insane Clown Posse’s “Chicken Huntin'” came in at number 90 on this list. You can see what was said about ICP below.
#90
Insane Clown Posse, “Chicken Huntin'”
Oh, you hate Insane Clown Posse? Tell me more. [Condescending Wonka face.] One of the most misunderstood aspects to this horrorcore rap duo is that their identity was not born out of reverse minstrelsy, but rather a violent rejection of the hillbilly racism that members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope both encountered growing up as dirt-poor Midwesterners. So when the childhood friends banded together as serial-killer clowns, one of their first fantasy calls-to-action was this goofy road-trip song about heading down South and chopping rednecks’ necks (a.k.a. chickens). Say whatever you want about this band, but this Juggalo anthem had far more of a social impact than anybody realizes. CAMILLE DODERO
