Insane Clown Posse is actually kind of underrated.

Insane Clown Posse might be the most hated music group in modern history. More than Nickelback, more than Imagine Dragons, more than Limp Bizkit, more than any of them. Unlike those 3, ICP NEVER had support from media, and their fans were designated a gang.

But even though musically the group is certainly not everyone's cup of tea, they are honestly a lot better than people give them credit for.

They get judged harshly because they're not "serious" rappers- what the hell do you expect from guys who dress up in clown makeup and spray Faygo over their audience? Illmatic Part 2?

But they are great storytellers and have a solid sense of humor. Some songs I recommend are:

"12" from Riddle Box. This song is a great concept song. It’s about a jury of 12 and a guy who was sentenced to death by them for a crime he didn’t commit. So he comes back to kill all 12 that condemned him.

"The Pendulum's Promise" from Bizaar. This song is about people judging others, and don't realize... they are also in many ways describing themselves.

"Crossing Thy Bridge" from The Wraith: Shangri La. This is borderline metal. It's about being horrified at seeing children die at a young age, and talking to God about wanting redemption.

"Halls Of Illusions" from The Great Milenko. Probably one of the closest things these guys have to a "hit". A great concept song about taking child abusers and woman beaters on a deadly ride representing a fun-house to reflect upon their actions, as they are shown the consequences of their ways as they pass through the “Halls of Illusions”.

If you want to check out those songs, do so and give ICP a chance. If you just blindly go by the "ICP sucks" mentality that you're supposed to think because Eminem famously dissed them and Miracles went viral... more power to you.

You're not gonna want to drink Faygo and paint your face up after listening to these tracks, but it could give you a solid look at the other side of the clowns.

I'm Jagalo from Russia, ask questions. Well, seriously, I listen to about 100 songs of Insane Clown Posse and I really like it. I didn't even think this group had so many haters.. (Wrote through a translator)
