Insane Clown Posse are an American hip-hop/horrorcore group from Detroit, Michigan. The group consists of two members: Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. They formerly had two other members John Kickjazz whose real name is John Utsler (passed away in 2015) and Greez-E whose real name is Kalyn Garcia, but they left the band later on. The duo are also owners of their own record label, Psychopathic Records (which was originally overseen and managed by Alex Abbiss up until 2005.)
The band is known for spraying their fans with the soda, Faygo during their concerts. The origin of said tradition is circled back to 1993, when a fan had given Violent J the middle finger during one of their earlier shows. Violent J acted on it by bashing said man in the head with a 2-liter of the inexpensive drink. In one incident a man sued Violent J for throwing a bottle of Faygo at him during a concert in 2007.[1]
Insane Clown Posse and Horrorcore followers are usually known as Juggalos (male) and Juggalettes (female). They can be identified by matching black, white, and sometimes red face-paint and pieces of Psychopathic "merch" or "Hatchet Gear."
Insane Clown Posse have feuded with Eminem in the past, but in an interview with Violent J he said that the feud "had ended".[2]
They have formed a professional wrestling company called Juggalo Championship Wrestling which they founded in 1999, now still going strong to this day. JWC heavyweight champion Matt Cardona has recently returned to WWE.[3]
