INSANE CLOWN POSSE AT FIRST AVE: A FAYGO-DRENCHED TIMELINE

Insane Clown Posse sprayed their loyal Juggalos with Faygo soda Thursday at First Avenue.

Insane Clown Posse sprayed their loyal Juggalos with Faygo soda Thursday at First Avenue.
Stephen Maturen

6 p.m. Thu., Oct. 5:
Doing some Insane Clown Posse research on Spotify.

6:05 p.m.:
I think I’ve discovered ICP’s main influence. Mother Goose’s hands are all over these raps. Some of them sound like straight-up nursery rhymes.

6:15 p.m.:
There is no way to hide from how bad some of this music is. However, at their worst, these clowns are at their most compelling. I can’t believe I’ve never heard any of this before. Kind of want to put it on at a party to see what happens.

7:15 p.m.:
Chickened out on my intended outfit. Was going to go in Peter Criss make-up. This unopened box of face paint will forever remind me of my cowardice …

7:30 p.m.:
Outside First Avenue. There are Juggalo’s. They are “stoked.”

7:45 p.m.
Remember P.O.D.? They’re opening.

8 p.m.:
This note details what could have been a way better angle for this article: Should I review P.O.D. without acknowledging that ICP headlined? I could mention the bizarre confluence of Juggalos and nu-metalheads, act like I left the concert early, and then let the commenters eat me alive

P.O.D.

P.O.D.
Stephen Maturen

8:10 p.m.:
Juggalos not amused by reporter in Taylor Swift hat making notes in his moleskin.

8:15 p.m.:
Look, I know someone has to pay for all that Faygo soda, but I hate it when merch is prohibitively expensive. $30 for a T-shirt is way too much money. It’s a T-shirt! There are also ICP hockey jerseys ($150), work jackets ($160), and varsity jackets ($350).

8:16 p.m.:
There’s a family of Juggalos in matching Hatchet Man jerseys and face paint. The child is maybe 7 years old. That kid’s life forever. This show is all-ages, I should mention that.

8:20 p.m.:
The curtains are parting. I’m at an Insane Clown Posse concert. There are a ton of Faygo 2-liters on the stage. The Juggalo’s are freaking out.

8:21 p.m.:
The opening number is Faygo-free, mercifully, for the guys in the photo pit. Courteous of the clowns.

8:25 p.m.:
The first 2-liter has been opened and is spewing all over the crowd. I wonder if there’s a roadie whose job it is to shake up all these bottles? Soda is coming out with force.
OK, this is fun. There are a bunch of “scary” clowns in onesies onstage spraying what is now an absolutely ridiculous amount of Faygo at each other and on the crowd. Worried about diabetes …

Stephen Maturen

8:30 p.m.:
Shots fired! Violent J (that’s one half of ICP) just rapped “fuck your review.” Noted.

8:32 p.m.:
The chorus of this song is “fuck the world.” What really grabbed my attention is the line “fuck the rain forest.” Feel less bad about my cultural tourism now.

8:40 p.m.:
By the front door now. A Juggalo mom, bless her heart, just asked the door guy how they clean up the Faygo mess. He does not seem amused with the proposition.

8:48 p.m.:
Juggalos in Dick Nixon masks on stage shooting Faygo on each other. Silly stunt or fiercely political theatre? The “fuck the rain forest” line from earlier makes me think the original interpretation was accidental.

8:50 p.m.
This simple-seeming assignment is leaving me with so many questions to ponder and philosophical pretzels to untie. For instance: What does it mean to be a Jugglao, exactly? From what origin has Insane Clown Posse been divined to us? How many ounces of Faygo did I just witness shooting ceilingward? Has the budget-conscious beverage manufacturer considered a champagne flavor? Also, will one of these Juggalo’s accept my invitation to Red Lobster?

8:55 p.m.:
Some clowns just ran on stage with buckets full of cola and dumped them on the lucky souls up front.

9:10 p.m.:
Here’s a photo of a Juggalette who couldn’t get enough of the Faygo shower so she decided to dump an errant 2-liter over her head.

See?EXPAND

See?

9:13 p.m.:
Met another reporter. Her name is Alex and she writes for a zine called No Friends. Bookmarking it. We discuss briefly how obvious it is that the Juggalos all hate us for reporting on them, how they all know we’re just going to say the thing they love is bullshit. Was happy to process this with someone.

9:17 p.m.:
Insane Clown Posse have a song called “I Fucked a Cop.” There are girls in Party City-esque “sexy cop” outfits on stage. It’s sort of like Lil Wayne’s “Mrs. Officer,” but more juvenile. Serious Mother Goose-iness with the rhyme structure here. I know what the rhyme will be before it’s given every time, and I’ve never heard this song before.

9:21 p.m.:
Sexy cops hosed down with Faygo. Crowd loving it.

9:22 p.m.:
It’s fun to imagine some of these Juggalo’s at their sad, quiet little I.T. jobs. And then, once a year, they get to put the paint on and come out to something like this and finally be themselves completely. Life is beautiful.

9:24 p.m.:
I’ve got a note here that I cannot bring myself to add to the timeline. You see, Juggalo’s are people too. People living by codes and behavioral contracts that I myself do not understand and therefore feel I cannot pass judgement upon. There are dreams and ambitions buried behind the face paint. “Tears of a Juggalo” is the curt little slogan I’m trying to insert into this word salad.

9:28 p.m.:
This is like Danny’s dream in The Shining but with diet cola.

9:30 p.m.:
Taylor Swift hat be damned: I’m going into the pit.

9:30 p.m.:
You know that feeling when it’s January and you step off a curb into a slush puddle and your foot just gets enveloped in bullshit and you wish you had taken that sales job in California? I just had that, but with Faygo on the Mainroom floor. These socks are going in the garbage.

9:32 p.m.:
Almost got hit by a flying 2-liter. A Juggalo with better reflexes than I caught the thing out of the air and dumped the remaining liquid on his body. Clowns are reloading the pallets with even more soda. Just a relentless onslaught of Faygo now.

9:33 p.m.:
Got caught in the stream mid-note. At least 10 pages of my moleskin are ruined. A souvenir!

9:34 p.m.:
OK, I’m done with the pit now.

9:39 p.m.:
ICP has a song that sounds just like “I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas. No one acknowledges it, but everyone has to be thinking this. Mozel Tov!

Stephen Maturen
9:44 p.m.:
It’s the end of the show. Juggalo’s are invited on stage. Now everyone is spraying soda on each other. I’ve moved back at least 10 feet. This is really great. Everyone looks super happy.

9:50 p.m.:
The “family” chant is so authentically warm. Clowns forever! The show is over.

I’m not sure how to give you a takeaway.

This is a very unique rap group/ lifestyle brand. So unique, in fact, that I can draw no meaningful parallels to it in a world pregnant with entertainment options. There is absolutely no equivalent for the clowns, their Faygo-swilling worshipers, or the Gathering at which they commune.

Yes, Jimmy Buffet’s loyal Parrotheads have a look and a beverage of choice (flip flops, margaritas.) There are also now a few artist who have their own festivals; though I feel like it’d be insulting to the readers’ intelligence if I doled out the smorgasbord of differences between Justin Vernon’s Eaux Claires Music & Arts Festival and the Gathering of the Juggalos.

This is all on a different level than I even imagined before stepping foot in ICP’s universe. You see, the Insane Clown Posse are not just in their own ballpark or playing a different sport than everyone else. They’re in another galaxy, playing a game in which I am unable to comprehend the rules.

I will not pretend to understand what I just saw but I can interpret it’s majesty with a photo of the wreckage — i’s a beautiful thing.

1. How did you get started in modeling?

I got into modeling because a photographer friends of mine wanted to practice shooting a plus sized woman.

2. What made you decide that you wanted to model?

When I posted the pictures on Facebook from my shoot with my friend I got so much positive feed back from women saying I helped make them feel comfortable in their own skin that I knew I had to pursue a career in modeling.

3. You’ve getting into the body painting modeling. What’s it like being a living canvas?

It’s a lot of fun! You just have to make sure you stay still, eat that day and drink plenty of water so you don’t pass out.

bobbi1

4. Is this something you are pursuing as part of your career long term?

I’ve been body painted 3 times and it’s been a blast every time. It’s not something I want to focus my career on but it’s definitely something I will keep doing.

5. Are you using an agent to do your modeling or are you doing it all on your own?

I’m an independent model so technically I do it all on my own.

6. Do you have any advice for others that might be interested in getting into the field?

Do it! Seriously it’s an awesome confidence builder and it’s so much fun I mean who doesn’t love playing dress up?!

bobbi0

7. Do you do any kinds of charity or special events to help others with your modeling?

I model for a group called “Heels for combat boots” we raise money and awareness for veterans and service members with post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. I’m actually in a magazine that come out this month the proceeds go to a guy in the Air Force who needed his dog trained as a service dog for his PTSD the proceeds from this issue go to benefit him. This is the link to buy a copy. http://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/989549?__r=559409&s=w

8. How were you introduced to juggalos? What was the first ICP song you ever heard?

Through one of my best friends that I made after high school. The first ICP song I ever heard was bugz on my nutz.

9. How many Gatherings have you attended?

4

10. Do you have a favorite Gathering memory?

At my second gathering I met this couple who had a four wheeler and I rolled around on it with them for hours!

bobbi2

11. Besides ICP, what is your favorite underground artist?

Tech n9ne

12. Favorite Faygo flavor?

Candy Apple

13. Hazin mentioned that last year you had stopped and helped the Jnews crew while they were struggling to make it to the gathering. Can you tell us more about that?

It was actually two years ago in 2014. They broke down in my little down and posted on Fb that they needed help. So my cousin and I went to where they were and my cousin towed them to the nearest shop so they could have the camper fixed.

14. Do you often find yourself helping out other juggalos in need?

I try and help anyone in need.

15. What does being a Juggalette mean to you?

To me being a juggalette means not giving a fuck about what society or anyone else thinks and just being myself.

bobbi3

16. Batman vs. Superman who wins?

Is that even a question? Batman all day everyday!

Madchild

“The Funeral

An all-out diss war has broken out on the West Coast, with Vancouver rappersMadchild and Snak the Ripper currently embroiled in a verbal jousting. Following Snak’s recent “Assisted Suicide,” which chewed out Madchild for disrespecting him on Twitter, the Battle Axe rapper is ready to slice-and-dice with a diss track of his own: “The Funeral.”

Following a devilish movie sample, Madchild goes on the attack, explaining that he would have gotten back to Snak earlier had he not been grinding it out on tour. Of his many disses, he says Snak has image problems, lacks a backbone, and may well have a bad case of IBS.

“You’re not a good human being, you’re a snake with a dick,” he hurls out mid-track.

It’s also noted that while Madchild is apparently a worldwide force, Snak is only known in “Greece, Canada, and Spain.” We get the point, but, you know, exposure is exposure.

As the Georgia Straight reports, this all started last week when Madchild went on to Twitter to call Snak a “loud mouth piece of shit talking punk bitch.” The tweets were quickly deleted, and Madchild called to apologize. This audio was apparently used to ridicule Madchild on “Assisted Suicide.”

Both tracks are available down below.

Listen to Tech N9ne, “KCMO Anthem”

The Kansas City Royals won their first World Series in 30 years on Sunday and Tech N9ne is pretty excited about it. The Kansas City native and his Strange Music crew were a presence at the games, making it well known how much they loved their hometown team.

Just a few days after the Royals’ win, Tech N9ne creates a new anthem for the World Series champs with the “KCMO Anthem.” It’s a very short track, but it highlights Tech’s devotion to his home team. It’s easy see Tech’s fellow Royals fans banging this anthem for the foreseeable future. Tech raps over a hard knocking beat about loving the Royals since he was a child and how much this victory means to him as well Kansas City. Tech makes it clear that he will always be representing Kansas City to the fullest.
