ICP has earned two platinum and five gold albums. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the entire catalog of the group has sold 6.5 million units in the United States and Canada as of April 2007. The group has established a dedicated following called Juggalos numbering in the "tens of thousands".
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.

To Catch a Predator
Insane Clown Posse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I'm on the internet, posing as a little girl
I'm trying to lure evil into my world
I tell 'em that I'm curious and I'm only twelve
Mom and dad are gone for the day, I'm by myself
Buckets of throw up are next to my computer
Hoping that they show up 'cause what I'm about to do to 'em
Would make the devil sick, I sharpen my blade
Fronting to this perv like I'm only in the seventh grade
The doorbell rings, I gotta get him inside
In my best little girl's voice, I'm like
"Hi, come on in, I'm putting on my bikini"
And when the door shuts, that's when I let 'em see me
"Hi there", I stab 'em in the neck first
'Cause it hurts, get 'em where the blood squirts
Carve his whole face off and make him eat it
Chain him up by the foot in the basement, bleeding
I'm probably gonna burn for this
Ain't no lesson to learn from this
There's nothing I'ma earn
But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I said it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
And it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I'm probably gonna burn for this
Ain't no lesson to learn from this
There's nothing I'ma earn
But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I said it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
Soon enough, feds will be shutting down my service
'Cause people out there, think they don't deserve this
Until it's your kid an old man's finger fucking
Titty sucking, then you want the knife stuck in
I don't blame you, that's why I catch 'em in advance
While his dick is still in his pants, they never get the chance
I tell 'em I'm alone and I'm only thirteen
"Looking for a good time, you know what I mean?"
Bring me some Funyuns and a Slurpee
"Promise not to hurt me, or give me herpes"
And within twenty minutes, here comes a fucking doctor
Knocking on my door, a pedophile butt-knocker
"Come in, have a seat" and then I stroll in
With the all-purpose hunting blade straight up his colon
I cut his hands off, he ain't touching nobody
Chain him up by the foot in the basement, bloody
Wait, please, mister clown, sir, you don't have to do-, zip it
Please, please, I've got money, we can-, shut it, fucker
Please we can work this out, silence, I said
Stick him next to this other fool, both left for dead
Every time I walk by him, I punch him in the head
Cut they fucking dicks off, stick 'em in each others mouths
Now what y'all talking about?
I'm probably gonna burn for this
Ain't no lesson to learn from this
There's nothing I'ma earn
But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I said it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
And it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I'm probably gonna burn for this
Ain't no lesson to learn from this
There's nothing I'ma earn
But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I said it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
What's in the bag?
Funyuns and condoms
What's in the bag?
Funyuns and condoms
What's in the bag?
Funyuns and condoms
Why did you bring condoms?
I didn't mean to
The house is getting funky, bodies in the basement, stinking
What the fuck am I thinking?
I put my face paint on, go downstairs and beat they ass sometimes
'Cause it ease my mind
Some of them are dead and some are still living
But I'ma hurt 'em every chance that I'm given
I hit em with the nail gun, or the stun gun
They can't run, so they both mad fun
I was sawing a head off when I heard the doorbell
I'm not expecting any predators, but oh well
I took my spot, "Come in, I'll be right there"
But I left a head sitting on the living room chair
He seen it and ran, I had to give chase
We cut across the lawn with my knife swinging for his face
I threw it, stuck him in the back of the neck
Still in my drawers, I dragged him home a bloody wreck
Somebody help-, zip it
Please- , shit it the fuck up
People are looking, silence
A bus full of high school kids watched it happen
He kept screaming like a pansy despite my slapping
Plus the neighbors seen it and so did the mailman
But they all never said nuttin' 'bout it again
I'm probably gonna burn for this
Ain't no lesson to learn from this
There's nothing I'ma earn
But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I said it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
And it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I'm probably gonna burn for this
Ain't no lesson to learn from this
There's nothing I'ma earn
But it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
I said it sure is fun (to catch a predator)
Yo, Liz
Meanwhile, back at the house
Hey, come on in, what kind of alcohol did you bring?
I brought Absolute Citron, I brought Mandarin Orange
I brought a shot of Jagermeister (wow)
In several cases the men were asked to bring food
Alcohol and condoms, law enforcement says
This helps show an intent to solicit a minor
What have we got here?
A bag of Funyuns
Funyuns? What about condoms?
Did you bring condoms?
I did
You did?
I'm trying to lure evil into my world
I tell 'em that I'm curious and I'm only twelve

Insane Clown Posse's song "To Catch A Predator" is an extremely dark and violent interpretation of the popular television show "To Catch a Predator," which was designed to catch predators who preyed on underage children in online chat rooms. In the song, the singer is a sociopath who is posing as a little girl on the internet to lure pedophiles into his trap. He is then committing horrifically violent acts against them once they arrive at his house.
The lyrics of the song are extremely graphic and violent, detailing each step of the brutal attacks in gruesome detail. The singer is clearly not remorseful for his actions, as he repeatedly states that it's "fun" to commit these heinous acts. He also suggests that the listeners of the song wouldn't understand the satisfaction of taking revenge against predators until it happens to their own child.
Furthermore, the lyrics of the song are controversial and have been widely criticized for their explicit violence and promotion of vigilantism. The song has been banned from some venues, and the band has been accused of promoting violence against innocent people. Despite this, the band has defended the song as a form of satire, meant to expose the dark underbelly of the internet and the dangers that lurk there.
