the history of icp

What many ninjas don't know is that ICP ain't nothin' new. Before the 700 billion album sales, naked chicks and starring movie roles (hell yeah), ICP dwelled only in Detroit's underground music scene. In 1990, ICP and their manager Alex Abbiss started their own independent record label and called it Psychopathic Records, because no other label was stupid enough to put out something as crazy as ICP. ICP debuted on Psychopathic with their very first release of a 4 song EP entitled DOG BEATS, which didn't sell shit. Then it was on to the Joker's Cards, starting with the first in 1991, CARNIVAL OF CARNAGE which did OK. Then came RINGMASTER in 93, and that did better. At this point, ICP started to get some props, but they still lived like homeless crackheads. Alex Abbiss signed ICP to a small record deal with Jive Records and together with Psychopathic, they put out the 3rd Joker's Card in 1995, THE RIDDLEBOX. Jive treated ICP like a booger... they picked them and then for some sick reason they tried to eat them. The clowns escaped the jaws of Jive and landed at Hollywood Records (owned by Disney), of course Jive had to get paid first and paid they got. Hollywood Records was great They treated Shaggy and Violent J like the Jackson 2. We're talking limos, money, chicks and all that shit. But then on the day the 4th Joker's Card, THE GREAT MILENKO came out, Hollywood's daddy, Mickey Mouse got pissed and threw ICP and their album right the fuck out of the magic kingdom. I guess Mickey was scared of the controversy. Funny thing was ICP never complained when Mickey used to bone Minnie Mouse in his office with the door wide open. She used to come walkin' down the halls with her big cartoony titties all fallin' out and shit, yet nobody cared. As soon as ICP stepped out of line however, they got the bone. While ICP and Abbiss were sitting around plotting Mickey's murder, here comes Island Records. BANG! Before you can say "Where do we sign?" they gave ICP money, booze, chicks, helicopters, cars with power windows, you name it. Island treated ICP like they're multi-platinum superstars even though they really ain't shit. As soon as ICP signed the contract however, Island slapped em' across the mouth and took all the fresh shit back. Island did however put THE GREAT MILENKO back in the record stores and that's enough for ICP. They do a good job with ICP's music, so they're happy with Island. In between the albums ICP has released along their career, they would often release EP's to keep the Juggalos interested...These EP's were: BEVERLY KILLS EP in 92', TERROR WHEEL EP in 94', and THE TUNNEL OF LOVE EP IN 96'. Shaggy 2 Dope even came out with a solo EP somewhere in there called "FUCK OFF!". Also there were ICP Christmas and Halloween releases, and free give away singles. To fully capture the complete catalog of Insane Clown Posse is next to impossible, yet the hardest to find singles and rarest songs ICP ever made are on these two CD's. FORGOTTEN FRESHNESS has out takes, B-Sides, re-mixes, songs that got scrapped, songs that suck, songs that couldn't fit on albums, and all that shit. Oh yeah, Island records is re-releasing the entire Psychopathic back catalog nationwide. You will now be able to find all them ICP albums and EP's that were previously only released in Detroit. So don't bother gassin' up the old maverick to head to the Motor City, just walk your ass to the mall, they should have them.
Bitch.
