But even though Psycho Realm lyrics to not embody what horror rap is known for, at least as far as Psychopathic Records is concerned, that doesn’t mean Psycho Realm’s couldn’t have had another type of impact on horror rap Gods Insane Clown Posse. And to say that Psycho Realm lyrics did have an impact on these legendary horror rappers would be quite the compliment, because Insane Clown Posse even .. more …

However, since that wild west phase on the internet more than a decade ago, it’s become apparent that doing things like illegally downloading Twiztid torrents, or torrents of any Psychopathic Records artist, is seriously damaging to that artist’s livelihood. It’s a misconception that musicians like those signed to Psychopathic Records are so wealthy that they can live large without people .. more …

Why would Psychopathic Records artists write songs that focus on other topics besides the gory ones listed above? Because any artist worth their salt knows the importance of writing diverse songs, both lyrically and musically. Somewhat ironically, the artists who create horror rap music have names that are equally as horrifying as the majority of their song topics. Insane Clown Posse, Anybody .. more …

Flint, Michigan based rappers Dayton Family were just like Eminem was once upon a time: impoverished, unknown, and brilliant. In the mid 90s, Dayton Family (named after the street they lived on, Dayton St.) slowly started gaining notoriety in the clubs around their hometown. Before they could blink they had been signed to a label and created a record that was certified gold. However as is the .. more …

Fast forward 15 or so years. Where has the gangster rap gone? It’s certainly not in the mainstream. Today, our billboard charts are loaded with R&B and other Pop genres. Very rarely has there been a chart topping mainstream rap song in recent memory to epitomize the true meaning of gangster rap. However, that hasn’t stopped culturally out-of-touch government agencies like the FBI to label .. more …

But the comparison of this, one of the first popular recording artists to dress his face up, to modern day recording artists who remain out of the mainstream eye but still decorate like a different kind of showman (ICP Face paint is famous), brings up an interesting conversation. Psychopathic Records is a horror rap record label based in Detroit, Michigan. Horror rap is a musical genre that draws .. more …

Say you’re a fan of the band Insane Clown Posse, who’s signed to Psychopathic Records and has an astounding catalogue of horror rap hip hop beats to their credit. Now, instead of having to go to the store and look for individual Psychopathic Records artists who also make hip hop beats, you have many options, and cheaper ones too. For example, if you wanted to download ICP music legally, all you .. more …

Whether you believe this to be true or not is another argument, but one thing that can’t be argued is the one way to stop any unfair record label treatment: start your own record label to put out your own music! That’s what underground rappers Insane Clown Posse did. Way back when in 1991 before the ICP / Juggalo relationship existed, or before these Detroit based underground rappers had made a .. more …

Known predominantly as horror rap group Insane Clown Posse’s own, custom tailored festival, the Gathering of the Juggalos annual event also plays host to a number of other Psychopathic Records horror rap artists. Twiztid, Boondox, Blaze, and ABK were just a few of the Psychopathic Records artists on hand at this year’s Gathering of the Juggalos festival. But enough about the music, what else is .. more …

Humble Beginnings for Psychopathic Records When horror rap duo Insane Clown Posse was beginning to gain local momentum in the early 90s, members Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope approached local record store-owner Alex Abbiss with the proposition of being their manager. Once he came on board, it was decided early that the band should form its own record label instead of signing on to an existing .. more …
