this is a direct quote from a 2015 interview

“I do have a ghost writer,” Shaggy says.

“All the greats have one. But I also write my own shit; it’s just a matter of what the track means. I know so many people that got ghostwriters and shit, and before…I ain’t going to sit here and say they write over our shit every time, but I ain’t got beef with it,” he says.

“If something’s nice, it’s nice. I ain’t not going to rap because I didn’t write it. Michael Jackson had ghostwriters, what’s that tell you?”

Ok, FFF is great in my opinion.  Now here is a statement followed by 2 idiotic questions; all 3 about Willaby Rags:

1. I actually think Willaby Rags made “Fury” better.  In particular his laugh before the final chorus.

2. Who voices Willaby Rags?  It’s someone through a voice changer obviously.  Sounds more like Shaggy to me, but his vocal mannerisms that he normally uses don’t fit into it.

3.  Is Willaby Rags the 2nd joker card of the first deck?  His role in the second deck is the ringmaster of the dark carnival, so are there several, or is that him?

Being for real. There is no reason for ‘proof’.

J has always seemed the more relevant force of ICP. Not to put down Shaggy at all but its seemed that way. Its completely worked for them both tho 100% for 30+ years. 

Whos got majority lyrics? Who does majority of the talking during interviews? Who has a book? 

Personally I could see Shaggy being the strong quiet type.

After J says something during an interview or seminar or hell, Thanksgiving dinner. Shaggy goes ‘WTF were you thinking by saying that shit, you know it aint gonna happen’.

That has to be shaggy. I’d be very surprised to find out it wasnt him  

it’s Shaggy lol

FFF and Flip are the shit! They’re vibing with the real Dark Carnival again. The grind and hustle of Ouija Macc has been amazing. I can hear that same hard work all over FFF and Flip. I didn’t even mind Yoko Onno’s horrible singing on I Could Never! 

I dig both and it’s hard to pick favs, but stand out tracks for me are: Fury, Game Over, Fite Back, and def Hawking. When I heard Hawking I was smiling like a mother fucker. Wish I could be in NOLA this weekend. Hope I’m well enough to go to Gathering 20. MMFCL

Your record store had hard copies of Flip? Mine only had FFF and it came with a code to get Flip the Rat online.  

Yea, it’s place called The Exchange (which I think is a chain?) that sells mostly used video games, movies, figures, vinyl, and music.  And occasionally new music.  So on my lunch break I had about 5 places organized in order of pain in the assness to get to that I was going to call to see if I could track it down.  So I called the one in my town and asked.  I could tell the employee had no clue what I was talking about because I said “Fearless Fred Fury by Insane Clown Posse” and they were like “huh? what by who?” (it does sound extremely stupid if you’ve never heard of either)  So I said it again and they searched their inventory on the computer and told me they had one in the store and that it had another album packaged with it for 15.  “Cool, can you hold that?  I’ll be there after work!”

It seems like it’s just intended to add it to your cart like a coupon code.  I dunno.  And for FYE, all of the ones around here have been converted into family friendly Spencers, it seems.

J and Shaggs are one of the greatest duos in the history of music. Mark my fucking words. They balance eachother as needed. 

Still waiting on my CD I ordered a couple days ago.

Yall got me hyped.

Is there any way to order from Psymerch with MasterCard not PayPal? There’s an option for Gift Card or some shit but I never used that.

Red Fred is dope. ICP is finally giving me what I want. Red Rum and Seriously Hilarious are instant classics. And the artwork is sooper fresh. I take back what I said about them sucking. Strong 7/10

Except Flip. Pretty disappointed with how that turned out. Although Ouija (as whack as he is) killed his verse and it was good to hear Hoodoo. I don’t know…like 4 /10
