Insane Clown Posse: Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, Mike Clark.Additional personnel includes: Three 6 Mafia, Zug Island, Twizted, L.A. The Dark Man, The Rude Boy.Includes liner notes by Insane Clown Posse.This is part of Psychopathic Records "Forgotton Freshness" series.For those of you out there who don't take ICP seriously, don't worry; they don't regard themselves very seriously either, as the loopy, often-humorous feel of this disc clearly points out. This release offers 16 tracks of ICP's previously unreleased material. Despite the heavy-handed rap style and the sparsely sprinkled crunching guitar, the lyrics are spouted in a free-spirited, light-hearted manner, dulling the sharp edges with a nice dose of fun. The tracks vary widely from the Three G Mafia-fronted, straight-out rap "Just Another Crazy Click," to the hard rocking "Take It!," the Scottish-tinged "Fly Away," and the acoustic ballad "Take Me Home." This eclecticism makes for a dizzying melange, but for a compilation album, that's not really an issue. FORGOTTEN FRESHNESS VOL. 3 is mostly meant for hardcore fans of the crazy clowns, but anyone looking for a good introduction to the far- out, raucous stylings of ICP could use this disc |
