Insane Clown Posse, Hip/Hop-Rap Metal group from detroit, formaly known as Inner City Posse, are two white homophobic racists that are much more interested in preformance art (spraying people with soda) than actually sitting down and writting at least halfway decent songs.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ICP&defid=1022597icp is short for Insane Clown Posse
They are a rap duo from Detroit ( whos stage names are Violent-J and Shaggy-2-Dope ), who have made themselves infamous for a number of reasons
1) thier striking appearance
2) thier fanbase
3) thier wigger-ness
lets look at these reasons in detail.
1) The icp wear face paint, a base coating of pure white all over thier faces, and then their respective patterns painted on in black, sometimes with an extra colour to match thier outfits. For a while, both of them had long dread locks aswell. Nowadays, Violent-J has bleached spiked hair, while shaggy has braids.
2) Thier fanbase (refered to as "Juggalos" for guys, and "Juggalettes" for chicks) are the biggest reason this band is as hated as they are. Juggalos and Juggalettes are all dipsh!ts... thats what it boils down to. You can be damn sure that anyone who refers to themself by this term, is a total loser. Juggalos will wear face paint, all day. Its one thing to wear the paint for an ICP event, but Juggalos will walk around all day with the stuff on.
They are all incredibly defensive when it comes to icp, which is admirable, if they didnt have the debating skills of a head of lettuce. For an example of a Juggalo's argumentative skills, see below
There is nothing wrong with ICP, but the average member of thier fanbase is a moron, which in turn will reflect on the band themselves
3) Shaggy and J both talk like a pair of wiggers, and really, they are...
BUT !!!!!!!
Dont just hate them because its the trendy thing to do. I suggest getting a copy of one or two of thier albums, because to be brutally honest, they are a good band...
im not a Juggalo, I would never dress like every day is marilyn manson's funeral, i would never wear six litres of face paint, nor do i walk around giving out about society and normal people.
but credit where credit is due, the ICP has some kickass songs. And from what ive heard, they put on a great live show.
the ICP also has strong ties with the world of professional wrestling ( the two of them have appeared in "the big 3" of ECW, WCW and the WWf/WWE, they also periodicaly run thier own promotion, JCW ), and they have thier own production company too ( psychopathic records, or something like that )
to sum up, the ICP is a rap duo. They are pretty goddamn good, but thier fans are all morons...
GO DECIDE FOR YOURSELF
guy-"eh, im not really into icp"
juggalo-"fuk yall hataz, i is down wit de wikid clownz, yall playa hataz!"
guy-"go away you thirteen year old wigger"

Fan base and criticism
Fans of ICP are called Juggalos (although Juggalo is not a gender based word, female fans are sometimes called Juggalettes to avoid some confusion, i.e. Two juggalos got married). This derived from one of Violent J's habits, which is constantly inventing strange names and personas for himself in their songs. One of these personalities is "The Juggla", a psychotic carnival juggler, and somehow the fans came to be known as "Juggalos" in homage. Even more common is the sight of Juggalos painting their faces in clownface, the unofficial Juggalo badge.
ICP have been voted the worst band of any genre of music in various magazine polls including Spin and Rolling Stone. This has not discouraged the group, and they repeatedly state they do not care what music critics think of their work. In return, Spin, Rolling Stone, and Vibe have been singled out for mockery in several ICP raps.
. In an interview in PBS's Frontline documentary series, Merchants of Cool,Violent J stated:
"Everybody that likes our music feels a super connection. <...> they feel so connected to it because it's — it's exclusively theirs. See, when something's on the radio, it's for everybody, you know what I mean? It's everybody's song. 'Oh, this is my song.' That ain't your song. It's on the radio. It's everybody's song. But to listen to ICP, you feel like you're the only one that knows about it." " icp is the closest thing some of my friends have known to family, it's like a getaway from reality, whenever your feeling low just throw on your headphones and let the music take you.... it's not about all the killing and violence, that just makes them different from all the other mainstream groups."
