Founded in Detroit in 1989, Insane Clown Posse performs a style of hardcore hip hop known as horrorcore and is known for its elaborate live performances. Originally known as JJ Boyz and Inner City Posse, the group introduced supernatural- and horror-themed lyrics as a means of distinguishing itself stylistically. The duo founded the independent record label Psychopathic Records with Alex Abbiss as manager, and produced and starred in the feature films Big Money Hustlas and Big Money Rustlas. They formed their own professional wrestling promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling, and later collaborated with many hip hop and rock musicians.
The songs of Insane Clown Posse center thematically on the mythology of the Dark Carnival, a metaphoric limbo in which the lives of the dead are judged by one of several entities. The Dark Carnival is elaborated through a series of stories called Joker's Cards, each of which offers a specific lesson designed to change the "evil ways" of listeners before "the end consumes us all". The original lineup of Insane Clown Posse was John Utsler (John Kickjazz), Joe Bruce (Violent J) and Joey Utsler (Shaggy 2 Dope). John Utsler left before Carnival of Carnage was released in 1992.
Insane Clown Posse's performance style is often described as horrorcore hip hop, which "utilize shocking (and blatantly over-the-top) narratives to give an over-exaggerated, almost cartoon-like version of urban deprivation in Detroit", according to author Sara Cohen. Bruce and Utsler describe many of their lyrics as being tongue-in-cheek. The group's early work features a raw, minimalistic sound, which later evolved into a more rock-oriented style. The group's lyrics serve as morality tales, with songs focusing on subjects such as cannibalism, murder and necrophilia. Insane Clown Posse's debut album, Carnival of Carnage, features a politically-oriented focus, criticizing elitism and prejudice against those who live in the ghetto, while the album's liner notes criticize the Gulf War. The group's lyrics have opposed racism, bigotry, domestic violence, and child abuse.
Insane Clown Posse has covered songs by Geto Boys, Sly Fox, and Above the Law. Bruce and Utsler refer to Ice Cube, Awesome Dre, Geto Boys, and Esham as influences on their own music, while Bruce has expressed admiration for Gong, Pearl Jam, and Michael Jackson. Mike E. Clark's production for the group incorporates elements such as "carnival organ riffs, power chords and shotgun blasts...banjolike plucking and Van Halen-esque guitar squeals", while Bruce and Utsler sometimes alternate between rapping and screaming. Bruce has credited pop music as an influence on some of the group's material, even terming the music "Wicked Pop". Bruce has also stated "We do our own genre of music". In his review of The Tempest, Allmusic's David Jeffries writes that Bruce and Utsler "[rap] in a carnival barker fashion that fits with their circus motif, their Insane Clown disguises, and Mike E. Clark's big top-inspired production." Insane Clown Posse has influenced similar acts, such as Axe Murder Boyz, Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Boondox.

Insane Clown Posse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's your pleasure?
(1st Verse- Violent J)
Fat Sweaty Betty, the bitch ain't nothing new
Her moms used to babysat me back when we was two
We'd go to the playground and to the skating rink
And we'd go under the bleachers and she'd let me hit the stank, well uh
Until the other day, I seen her at the Chicken Shack
She said her name was Betty, I can't believe this shit
The sexy little girl is now a fat sweaty beeitch
She said, "Hey, J, tell me how you've been?"
She had a piece of chicken gizzard stuck to her chin
I told her, "Hold still," and flicked it off her face and said,
"Betty, oh, Betty, what you say we leave this place?"
I took her back to the crib and hit it all night
I let my fingers run across the rip of cellulite
EWW! It was nasty, but I don't let it bother me
She rolled over, fucking knocked the wind out of me
I couldn't breathe, she wouldn't stop, I'm almost dead
I took the lamp, and bust it on her fucking head
We got dressed, I gave her a little kiss goodbye
Fat Sweaty Betty, My fat sweaty pumpkin pie
(Chorus)
Fat Sweaty Betty
Tell me when you're ready (x2)
(2nd Verse- Shaggy2Dope)
Big fat slop of shit people call Betty
Flabs of fat on her back, her neck...sweaty
Boogers running down her nose all over her lips
Can't tell the difference from her titties to her hips
But fuck all that, 'cause I want to see the neden
I had to see the cat, the cheesey cheena cheden
Rode my bike to her house, "Hey yo, Betty lemme in
I'm packing some snack cakes, bitch lemme in."
I can hear her coming down the stairs
She opened up the door in her motherfucking underwears
UUGGHH!! Shit, fuck that I'm turning back
But no, the door shut, and she's going for the cake snacks
I said, "Relax, hoe, I'm here, I'm bu-si-ness
you can have the candy, first you gotta wait a bit
I need a favor, come on, Betty, drop them drawls."
AHH!! I knew it, Betty had balls
Oh, no, here comes that ass
>From the top of the dresser with the yokazuna splash
I wish I never came, oh boy do I wish
See Fat Sweaty Betty, the sweaty fat bitch
(Chorus)
(Violent J)
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
I know you like spaghetti

So tell me when you're ready, baby
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
Tell me when you're ready
Tell me when you're ready for a cheeseburger, pizza pie, TV dinner, chicken

[Fat Sweaty Betty]
I gets it all, I gets it all for ya, baby
I work at Farmer Jack on the dinner floor, baby
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
I bring it home, I cook it in a microwave
I feeds it to ya, just let me get some stanky skins
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
'cause I don't care, I want to hit the cellulite
I hit the cellulite for a turkey meal delight
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
'cause I don't care, you know I'm not afraid to cook
Take off your shoes and let me lick your dirty foot
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
I'll rub you down, I'll rub you down the right way
I hear a buzzer, apple pie's in the microwave
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
I work at Farmer Jack, I work at A & P
And yes I do, my heavy baby want to be with me
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
Ya want to be with me, ya want to be with me
Ya want some chilli cheese fries in a ???

You gotta wait, wait 'till the time is right
Let me count the purple bubbles in your cellulite

You want some Burger King, you want some Hungry Jack
You want some jelly beans, you want a scooby snack

You want some Dominoes, you want a Milky Way
You gotta kick it to the sugar daddy Violent J

You want some Lucky Charms, you want some mashed potatoes
Let me hit the skins now and I'll feed you later

Because I know, I know you want a Lunchable
Something crunchable, something munchable

How 'bout some Taco Bell, how 'bout a pizza slice
How bout some chicken fingers and a bowl of Minute Rice
[Fat Sweaty Betty]
The lyrics of "Fat Sweaty Betty" by the Insane Clown Posse are a vivid representation of crude humor and objectification of women. The song tells the story of two men who encounter a woman they knew as children, now grown up and obese. Despite her appearance, the men attempt to have sexual relations with her. The first verse is narrated by Violent J, who reminisces about childhood encounters with Betty. In a disgusting tone, he talks about her body, cellulite, and even her bad breath. Shaggy 2 Dope takes over in the second verse, and his part is equally gross. He offers to trade snack cakes for Betty's body and then expresses his shock when he discovers that she has male genitalia. The chorus "Fat Sweaty Betty, Tell me when you're ready" is repeated several times, and the song ends with a barrage of fast-food and junk-food references.
The song's lyrics are reprehensible and offensive in every possible aspect. It's a sad commentary on the state of mind of the people who create, perform, and listen to such music. The trivialization of sexual violence, objectification of women, and the normalization of fat-shaming are just a few examples of the regressive ideas perpetuated by "Fat Sweaty Betty." It's hard to imagine any redeeming qualities in this song, and the lyrics should certainly not be celebrated or praised. The lack of respect for women's bodies and their autonomy is appalling, and it's hard to believe that anyone could listen to such songs without feeling disgusted.
