ICP was mentioned in a recent article on EW.com. In this article about thing you like (that everyone else hates) a photo editor by the name of Kurt Christenson stated he loves the Insane Clown Posse. You can check out what was said below.
Kurt Christenson, Photo Editor: I have many, many unpopular pop culture opinions, but music is where I take the biggest slack. I don’t care for Led Zeppelin which causes a pretty severe reaction, but when I say I love Insane Clown Posse, well, I’ve lost people in my life due to being a Juggalo. There’s a reason they are known as the World’s Most Hated Band. I’ve been a fan since 1995, just after Riddlebox was released, the third in their six Joker card concept albums. The beats, produced by Mike E. Clark, are always original and catchy, while the lyrics are filled with ridiculous, clever, comic book/horror fun. As a disenfranchised urban-suburban white boy who always wished he could bust rhymes, well, Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope spoke to the psycho-vigilante-superhero in me who wanted to fight back against the world.
Sure, the bulk of the best music is in those first six albums, and I’ve never been to a Gathering of the Juggalos—which looks absolutely frightening—but ICP has always been about cultivating a community and Clown Love amongst their fans. I’ll be down with the clown til I’m dead in the ground.
