Warning: The Insane Clown Posse Video “Miracles” Will Turn You Into A Juggalo
Fri Apr 9 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Those gimmicky hardcore rap/rockers known as the Insane Clown Posse (known for their clown make up and fans, known as "Juggalos") have finally created something we can't deny. Their latest video, for "Miracles", could very well be confused for just another Juggalo parody because it looks and sounds like an SNL Digital Short. The downright whimsical clip is essentially a rip-off of "Empire State Of Mind” with a dash of Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” (in the sense that ICP dictates a laundry list of miracles that actually aren’t miracles at all.) And as for Shaggy 2 Dope's (or is it Violent J's?) amazement at "f****n magnets" or complete hatred of scientists, well, we'd love to hear what he has to say about Lost.
Watch this miracle of a video and see our favorite lyric after the jump.

The Insane Clown Posse Are Laughing All The Way To The Bank
Mon Oct 26 2009 by Maura
The Detroit Free Press takes a look at the entrepreneurship of the Insane Clown Posse, the Motor City duo who head up an empire that brings in—please take a second to finish whatever beverage you’re drinking—upwards of $10 million a year. They have the Gathering, of course, as well as tie-in DVDs and action figures and T-shirts and a forthcoming sequel to their 2001 film Big Money Hustlas. The combination of capitalist force and music-business longevity has even garnered them something that’s more priceless—respect! More »
What Is The Craziest Cover Song You’ve Ever Dreamt Up?
Thu Oct 8 2009 by Maura
Last night I had a dream that I was trapped in a hotel that was subsidizing its rates with advertising in the lobby. Among the commercials was an extended spot for the Insane Clown Posse in which they a) announced that they were recruiting for their own personal police force and b) covered, quite faithfully and with great gusto, the Arcade Fire’s “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out).” This dream—which, I should add, was not the result of a Faygo-and-Molson pre-bedtime cocktail—made me wonder if any of you out there have had similar moments in which cover versions that are odd even for this genre-crossing moment in pop music have sprung from your subconscious. To get your mind rolling, I’ve placed a very special cover after the jump! More »
The Juggalos Gather: “Why Do They Hate Us? We’re Just In A Forest Getting Drunk, Having Fun, And They Hate Us For It”
Tue Aug 11 2009 by Maura
In case you were wondering what it might be like to attend The Gathering Of The Juggalos, artist Derek Erdman went, video camera in tow, and chronicled the Faygo-fueled masses’ trek into the deepest woods of Illinois. I… really don’t know what to say, although I really do hope that the guy cracking about breaking his parole for the purposes of making his pilgrimage was joking. [YouTube via The Awl] More »
A Sobering Thought: The Insane Clown Posse May Be Laughing Right Back At You
Fri Jul 24 2009 by Maura
The 14-minute infomercial for the 10th-anniversary edition of the three-day Gathering Of The Juggalos—think a hybrid of Burning Man and Coachella in the Illinois woods, only with more Faygo, lots more clown makeup, and a Rowdy Roddy Piper appearance (?!)—has been making the Internet rounds for the past couple of days, resulting in LOLs a-plenty from the peanut gallery. Sure, the Insane Clown Posse and their fans have owned the title of “Most Mocked Musical Subculture Out There” pretty much since the band’s inception (and despite a late charge from brokenCYDE). But what if they’re, as the infomercial brazenly states at its outset, “the most misunderstood people of all time” because no one realizes that they’re actually in on the joke? More »

Sometimes, words to live by come from the oddest places. Take this pearl of wisdom from the rejected-comments file: “A Juggalow is down with the clown for life, not just until he gets pelted in the head with a faygo bottle.” Um… sic? Also, sure? [Previously] More »
Juggalo Throws Book At Violent J After Getting A Little Too Much Faygo Tossed His Way
Mon Jan 5 2009 by Maura
An Insane Clown Posse fan is suing the half of the horrorcore duo who goes by the name Violent J, as well as a venue in Fargo, N.D., after sustaining injuries during a 2007 show thanks to an errant two-liter bottle of Faygo that got thrown into the teeming masses of Juggalos rushing the concert’s stage. John Antonelli is looking for at least $50,000 from Violent J and the venue after suffering a fractured bone near his right eye.
The “Phoenix New Times” Tries To Get To The Heart Of The Juggalo Matter
Fri Nov 21 2008 by Dan Gibson
Despite my previous issues with the Phoenix New Times, I was actually excited to see what appeared to be wide-ranging coverage of the local Juggalo community this week. Many of us don’t understand the phenomenon at all. And with seemingly thousands of Faygo-chugging malcontents around these parts, there had to be a story there. Right?
