That's a fuckin' travesty that the uh FBI namin' Juggalos a gang is a public lynching of our name, you know? That's like an assassination attempt on us. That's like sayin' all of our concerts are now gang rallies. That's like sayin' our merchandise is now gang apparel.

Hi, I'm Danny Bola here with Young Hollywood and we're with the Insane Clown Posse, Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. Whomp, whomp! Whoop! So this here is your most anticipated album?

I would say it's our most anticipated because of the momentum we have right now. Some huge positive positive articles have come out about us. People are sayin' "Man, these guys must be doin' somethin' right", you know? Even the people that wrote us off years ago, they know we're still here kickin' ass. I mean, I mean, think about it. 20 years in the game and our biggest record's about to be comin' out, you know? That's pretty special. It's a new generation of of of writers and and and reporters and stuff than it was in the mid 90s, you know what I'm sayin'? So I mean, it's workin' to our benefit, you know? The best thing is we we haven't changed. Yeah. You know, we're doin' exactly what we've always done.

You've sold 11 million albums.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How do you guys get such a huge followin' without any kind of, you know, social media's just come out and, you know, you've you've done that without all of that. So how do you do that?

I think the world is changin', you know? YouTube, you know, YouTube is just as big as television. You know, more people are watchin' YouTube probably more people than are watchin' TV. So, you know, ICP is bein' exposed to people that never saw us before, you know what I mean? And um, and basically, without soundin' too conceited, you know, our product is dope. Yeah. You know what I'm sayin'? Our is good, you know? It's very underrated, you know what I'm sayin'? People like to hate on it, but it's undeniable.

You guys have got this huge followin' of Juggalos. Now, I'm new to Los Angeles. How do I become a Juggalo? What do I need to do?

It's not about becomin' a Juggalo. That would happen naturally. I think a lotta times ICP's music happens to be the soundtrack to some Juggalos' lives. But Juggalos are somethin' um, you're born into and you recognize, you know? You want the freedom to be a clown. A Juggalo doesn't care where the masses are goin', walks his own direction, walks her own way and thinks her own thoughts and proudly says what she he or he likes, despite what everybody else in the room likes. That's a Juggalo. True ability to not give a fuck. They're the most misunderstood about Juggalos, you know what I'm sayin'? Like, especially the people that that that just on the outside, they just like look at it like, "Holy shit!" is we didn't make up Juggalos. We didn't make the word up. We had nothin' to well, we had somethin' to do with it because we're Juggalos and we're, you know what I'm sayin', we're puttin' out records. But we didn't come up with the name. We didn't tell people, "Oh, you're a Juggalo." "No, you're a Juggalo." You know what I'm sayin'? They came up with it themselves, you know what I'm sayin'? We just happen to be one of them, you know?

Because it's been said by the FBI that the Juggalos are kinda like a one of America's most dangerous gangs now. Come on, now. I mean, is that is that because of your music or is that is that?

That's cuz they're dumb. That's not the music. People fear what they don't understand, you know? There's never been anything like Juggalos in the history of music. I don't give a fuck who you're talkin' about. Elvis, you know, Woodstock. It's a little too organized and powerful to be considered a fanbase. You know? And it's you know, so they name it a gang, you know? And because they do that, they're puttin' like kids in danger because they put that label on 'em, you know what I'm sayin'? That's a fuckin' travesty that the uh FBI namin' Juggalos a gang is a public lynching of our name, you know? That's like an assassination attempt on us. That's like sayin' all of our concerts are now gang rallies. That's like sayin' our merchandise is now gang apparel.

Right.

A T-shirt with our faces on it, you know what I'm sayin'? Not even a you know, it could be a some kid's not even a Juggalo that just enjoys our music, you know what I'm sayin'? Rockin' an ICP shirt, somehow a a gang member. What makes it a crime? Because we're not a fuckin' gang. You know what I'm sayin'? It's that simple.

Obviously, I've been lookin' at you guys over the la past bit, kinda gettin' to know you. And I've been lookin' at all sayin' all YouTube videos and everything like that and listen to a lot of your raps. I've actually come up with my own rap and I wanna see whether you guys think it's any good or not. Right, you ready? Yo, my name is Dan, I wanna be a fan. I'm with the ICP, too good for MTV. I want to be a Juggalo, but I'm more like a Gigolo.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it, well you know, I'm just kinda gettin' into it, you know?

Um, it rhymed. And it was cool cuz you gave us props. Yeah. It was cool cuz you're talkin' about us. Um, but can you do it to the beat, brother?

Okay, let's give me a beat then. Give me a beat and we'll do it with a beat. My name is Dan, I wanna be a fan. I'm with the ICP, too good for MTV. I wanna be a Juggalo, I'm more like a Gigolo.

You might wanna keep your day job. I'm just sayin'.

So if you were to give me a kind of like a rap name? What do you think? You know, my name's Daniel.

English Dee, or a little bit more gangsta than that. You know, Crumpet Dee or somethin', You know what I'm sayin'? We gotta know you a little bit better. You know what I'm sayin'? It's gonna identify. We could call you Bella. Yeah.

Just quickly, before we wrap up, let's kinda your your new album, uh, it comes out on August the 14th. There's three different versions to the album.

Version one is called Red Pop and what it is is the new album in its entirety, Mighty Death Pop and it comes with a bonus CD called Red Pop. And on that CD is a full cover album of us doin' cover songs. We cover everybody from Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger to um, Christina Aguilera. For Tears for Fears. To the J Geils Band to Tears for Fears, you know? We cover The Geto Boys to uh Willie D to House of Pain, everything, you know what I'm sayin'? You know. And the second version is called Black Pop, which is once again the new album, the Mighty Death Pop and it comes with a bonus album. This is an hour long song. It's an hour long flow. You know? And it's mostly about sex. Shaggin'.

Nice.

It's all about sex. That's right. That there you go, it. The third album is called White Pop and that is a album of remixes from the main album and a a um, collabos. You know, like songs we did with different artists and we work with our heroes, the biggest most people we've ever wanted to work with in a studio, we worked with them both on this album. This is our biggest album. Exactly. And that's uh the Geto Boys, all three members. And Ice Cube, you know, which is a dream come true for us. I can't even begin to explain to you how great that is for us.

Excellent. Well, guys, thank you so much. The Mighty Death Pop out August 14th here. Crumpet D. Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J. Thank you so much, guys. Whomp!
