Insane Clown Posse, (hed) P.e., and The Dayton Family at Aggie Theater
The names Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J, the core of Insane Clown Posse and Psychopathic Records, may not mean much to the layman, but to an unanticipated number of followers, these two are iconic, underground—if not outright dismissed—rappers. Fans, a.k.a. Juggalos, are serious in their devotion to the duo’s Midwestern deviant style and usually violent hip-hop: ICP’s penchant for circus clown face paint was adopted early by its fans, as well as the mass consumption of Faygo brand soft drinks. Centered on a demented, carnival-themed ethos, ICP’s music has given a different life to horrorcore, turning it from an early ’90s fractured subgenre of rap into a highly profitable mini-empire.
