On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott Lipps sits down with Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse for a raw, unfiltered look at how ICP built a movement from the ground up. Shaggy revisits growing up broke in Detroit, meeting Violent J, and the earliest days of hustling, passing out flyers, wrestling shows, and navigating real gang-adjacent street situations that shaped their worldview. He breaks down the inspiration behind the face paint, the transition from Inner City Posse, and the creation of the Dark Carnival mythology that helped define an entirely new genre. The conversation also dives into dangerous early shows, the Disney/Hollywood Records fallout, and how media attacks, industry feuds, and even FBI scrutiny only reinforced the Juggalos’ loyalty and culture. Shaggy reflects on the power of the Gathering of the Juggalos, ICP’s latest record, wild industry stories, and his personal Top 5 hip-hop artists, offering a definitive look at the controversy, community, and resilience that continue to define ICP’s legacy.00:00 - Start03:25 - How ICP met04:58 - Growing up in Detroit poor 07:30 - Music beginnings 08:52 - First musical memory 0:11:20 - Early wrestling days0:15:40 - Passing out flyers for early shows0:16:00 - Idea for the makeup and KISS 0:21:20 - Inner city posse0:23:00 - Early gang kid situations0:24:57 - Creating a genre0:28:52 - The dark carnival0:33:45 - Early dangerous shows0:35:45 - The Disney era, Hollywood records, and getting banned0:50:13 - Sharon Osbourne story and Howard Stern0:53:08 - Eminem beef0:57:00 - FBI time period0:59:55 - Gatherings 1:05:24 - Latest record1:07:25 - Fred Durst story1:09:40 - Top 5 hip hop artists
