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 ↴
A cold blooded killer, a ruthless, harmless, slaughterer
I didn't mean to kill him, listen to me, wait
I was talkin' to a fine ass date, ha ha ha
Phat titties, lookin like pow
And she's tellin me to come by right now
No more laggin', I'm taggin'
This bitch, dead in the ping hole
Make her lose control
I showed up, I ring the ding dong
Grippin' my wing wong, something's wrong
Who's this, not a bitch, but a dude
And he's tellin me to beat it, fuckin' rude
It's Jimmy, her man, a punk ass
So I throw a left hook at him, splat
Then I came back with a right hook
Pow, he fell to the ground, I didn't mean to kill him
What the hell did you do to Jimmy?
Oh, my God
I didn't mean to kill him, kill him, baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill the man baby
I didn't mean to kill him, kill him, baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill the man baby
Oh fuck, he's chillin' with a neck broke
25 to life, is no joke
Don't die, bitch, hang in there
I mean I really don't care, but come on
Move quick, I run to the hospital
Make sure he ain't dead yet, shit
There he is, chillin' with a neck brace
With a look on his face like
Come on Jimmy, it's me, your homey
I even poured a little brew in your IV
Don't die, oh you tryin' to speak
Fuck you, your punches are weak, eheh
So bitch, you wanna talk shit again
I jumped up wit a boot to the chin
Pull his plugs out and start chokin'
Eww, his necks already broken
He swung, hit me wit' a bed pan
I was just makin sure you ain't dead man
Fuck this, I grabbed a scalpel
And stick it down in his scalp, uuh
Calm down, he's dead now, fuck
Here comes somebody, better duck
Gotta hide dead Jimmy quickly
Or 25 to 50, I didn't mean to kill him
Oh, my god Jimmy, what the fuck?
Didn't mean to kill him, kill him, baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill the man baby
I didn't mean to kill him, kill him, baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill the man baby
Jumped out the window and drug him home,
Jimmy's dead and I'm finna get the bone
If they catch me, ah the death chair
I don't care they'll never find him here

Ha ha ha, woo, ha, hello

This Jimmy, I'm alive, I'm not dead, I gotta go
Oh goody, they bought it, hah, they'll never know
I killed his bitch ass
Fuck it though, Jimmy's my room mate
He doesn't even eat much and that's straight
We just chill all day, watch video's
Call Domino's and flick off his toes
Make 'em land into a fish tank, what you think?
Let him sit, fuck off, I didn't mean to kill him
Oh my God, you bastard, you killed Jimmy
Didn't mean to kill him, kill him, baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill the man baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill him, baby
Didn't mean to kill him, kill the man baby
This was the story of a murderer
A cold blooded killer, a ruthless, harmless, slaughterer
The lyrics for "I Didn't Mean to Kill Him" by Insane Clown Posse tells the story of a man who accidentally kills someone in a fit of rage. The song begins with the singer getting ready to go out on a date with a woman. However, when he arrives at her house, he is greeted by a man named Jimmy instead of the woman he expected to see. The singer becomes angry and ends up punching Jimmy, causing him to fall to the ground. With his neck broken, Jimmy is on the brink of death.
The second verse of the song describes the singer's panic upon realizing what he has done. He rushes Jimmy to the hospital and tries to keep him from dying, but ultimately Jimmy passes away. In desperation, the singer decides to hide the body rather than face the consequences of his actions. The final lines of the song reveal that Jimmy was actually the singer's roommate, and that the two were close despite the singer's violent tendencies.
