The Insane Clown Posse (otherwise known as ICP) is comprised of two urban rap artists from Detroit, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. ICP's shocking-but-real lyrics and flowing musical style captured my attention in the spring of 1998 and has kept it ever since. ICP's Dark Carnival introduces 6 Jokers Cards, each having their own meaning and each prophesying that after the last one falls...well, we have yet to find out. Maybe the group will break from the music scene, maybe ICP will merely churn out more albums. Or maybe the world will end and we'll all burn in hell. At this point, no one can say. This is an extremely brief summary of who ICP is and what they stand for, but I don't have the time to write a book. If you want to know more about the juggling duo, follow this link: http://www.insaneclownposse.com.

Below are the 5 Jokers Cards that have already fallen. The 6th is soon to come.

(From top to bottom, Carnival of Carnage, Ringmaster, Riddlebox, Great Milenko, and The Amazing Jeckel Brothers.)

So why do I like ICP?

        For those of you who want to know why someone like me would listen to ICP and like it, I don't know. I was introduced to the "insane clown devil boyz" by a couple of guy friends about two years ago and have loved 'em ever since. If you haven't already heard their stuff and you have no aversion to trying out the urban rap genre (mothers definitely will not approve), check it out. Your life will never be the same. That does it for my little music review; if you have anything to say, send an e-mail. Stay down with the clowns and remember to keep a large supply of Faygo around. You never know when the Dark Carnival will show up in your town....

        That just about does it for my ICP page. Any questions? Then get out of here and buy some ICP stuff.
