Insane Clown Posse is something even I cant describe. They aren’t serious, or are they? They arent good, or are they? They are, well, bizarre. And if they had a dictionary, they’d know how to spell it right. Are they dumb, or aren’t they?
I wont ponder the ins and outs of these two clown-faced silly asses so lets get into this double album. Technically it isn’t a double album because you can buy them separately. Which is better? Read on.
Bizaar has a pocket full of dynamite inside. Theres the dumb “Fearless” (“Ill sneak up on Slick Rick and snatch off his eye patch/Ill meet Jeffrey Dahmer at some kind of bar and let him eat me”), which is just some old fashioned silly ass fun. Then we move into a dopey lullaby, “Rainbows And Stuff”, and the sappy love song, “Please Dont Hate Me”, with its surprise ending. Can they get real? “Tilt-A-Whirl” just might be ICPs first real song, or is it the Limp Bizkit-ish “We Gives No Fuck”?
Bizzar is just as silly. How about this line from “Cherry Pie (I Need A Freak)” that goes, “I need a bitch like Bushwick Bill needs an eye.” Huh? I mean, I know who Bushwick Bill is and all about that glass eye hes got, but duh. Actually, it made me laugh. “Radio Stars” is a dis on folks like DMX who make big radio hits. “Mr. Happy” isnt exactly on Prozac. And then there is their hope for a hit with their cover of Sly Foxs “Lets Go All The Way”.
Don’t forget to stick around for the hidden songs. They are hilarious. It shows that you just cant take these guys too seriously. ICP are the clown princes of hip-hop and they are pretty damn good. Get over it.
