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.

"Now, don't give me that "respectable gentleman" bullshit you little
Bitch."
"Mr. Jackson!"
"Now stop playing dumb you ditsy cunt!"
[Chorus]
Hey, Baby I heard you like to freak. ("Well, I guess so.")
Then come out to play with me. ("Heheh.")
Baby I heard you like to freak. (Well, I guess so.")
Then come out to play with me.
Hey what's up I'm new in town. I work for the circus,
Shaggy the Clown. Anyway, yo girl I've seen you around.
I guess I'm tryin' say that I wanna be down, hey!
We had ice cream, sat in the park.
I walked her all the way home when it got dark.
She took me inside and when the door shut,
Next thing you know, I had my nuts in her butt, uh.
I wanna bitch that's down to fuck right away.
And even does my homies if its ok.
A little bitch that's down with a quicky, I love checky checky.
I ain't being picky though. So you might be a little bit fat.
You might even stink a bit, I don't mind that.
Even if you don't fuck on the first date.
Just put my nuts in your mouth and I'm straight
I need a girl that just don't give a fuck.
So I'm caught stroking her mom. I mean, so what?
A little a skins here and there ain't nothin'.
I just need a bitch who's down with a Lil' Somethin' Somethin'.
[Chorus]
My name's Violent J, so I can't fuck around.
Who's the dirtiest bitch in the whole town?
There she go, she workin' at Dairy Queen.
Bitch couldn't be a day over fifteen.
So I threw her in the butt like that.
I hit it so quick, I made her butt cheeks clap. HaHa
Why wait around 'til she gets married.
Cause I'm ready as long as her neden's hairy.
Tootsie, Tootsie, Pumpkin Pie. Oops, looks like you nut in your eye.
My fault I didn't notice you were still there.
Now go in and wash that shit out your hair, bitch.
I want a girl not afraid to bone,
Even if her mommas and pops is still home.
And if her daddy suddenly walks in,
He just might see my nuts on his daughter's chin.
Everybody in the hood says that your easy.
You look a little cracked out, a little sleezy.
Your a basehead, baby, it ain't shit. I'm still down if you down,
For a Lil' Somethin' Somethin'. Somethin' Somethin'
[Chorus]
Bitch let me hit, I won't be long As soon as I nut I'm gone.
(Guess ya don't know.)
Bitch let me hit, I won't be long As soon as I nut I'm gone.
(But ya dog did.)
Bitch let me hit, I won't be long As soon as I nut I'm gone.
(It's the Southwest.)
Bitch let me hit, I won't be long As soon as I nut I'm gone.
"Oh-Hey, watch out! My legs- My legs don't bend back so far!"

Sack and fade your butt hair.
So get ready motherfuckers for tonight's main
Attraction!

Ol' Evil Eye! Ah ha ha ha!"

The lyrics are violent and misogynistic, referring to women as "bitches" and "cunts," and glorifying non-consensual sex acts. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Baby I heard you like to freak. Then come out to play with me," which is sung in a childlike tone, adding to the disturbingly childish nature of the song.
The first verse of the song is a disturbing conversation between ICP and a man named Mr. Jackson, who takes issue with the immoral nature of the parties described in the song. ICP responds with insults and aggressive language, portraying themselves as defiant and rebellious against societal norms. The following verses are detailed descriptions of sexual encounters with multiple women and girls, most of whom are objectified and degraded. The song ends with a spoken word introduction to their performance of "Ol' Evil Eye" in a carnival theater setting.
Overall, the lyrics to "Lil' Somthin' Somthin'" represent the violent and misogynistic attitudes that are often present in the music of Insane Clown Posse. While some fans of the band may appreciate the shock value of these lyrics, they can be deeply offensive and disturbing to many listeners.
