Well, this is a first. Now that the members of Insane Clown Posse have been in makeup for more than 20 years, it’s time to take it back off. The iconic clowns have removed their makeup and are going to be just like all the other people with no makeup. It’s hard to believe that Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope started out as two guys in the 1980s who wanted to stand out from the crowd. They were just regular dudes who put on red and white face paint. But somehow, they made their way into a cult-like following. How did they do that? What caused them to become so popular? Did they just want attention? Or were they really just trying to make a statement? This article explores it all in an eye-opening interview with Joseph Bruce, who was at the center of both of their careers since he was one of their original band members too!
Where did the idea come from?
“We were just two guys who wanted to make a statement,” Joseph Bruce, aka Violent J, tells us. “We didn’t want to be like everybody else.”
Bruce says that they originally put on the makeup because they felt like they couldn’t do anything different in the music industry. It was the early 80s and groups like Depeche Mode and New Order dominated the music scene with their style. So, when ICP decided to wear makeup, it caught people’s attention right away—but not for what you’d think.
“I’m sure there are some people who thought we were trying to be something that we weren’t,” he says. “But I don’t think so because we knew what we liked and exactly what kind of band we wanted to be.”
Of course, there were more than a few people who thought that ICP did it for attention or maybe even just for shock value. But Bruce says that wasn’t the case at all. In fact, he insists that ICP never planned on being mainstream stars in any way possible—they never even considered themselves a “mainstream band.”
What are their thoughts on makeup now?
“I think putting on makeup is kind of like wearing a mask. I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s like you’re putting a mask over yourself and you’re trying to be somebody else. And that’s what people do when they put on makeup. They try to be somebody else.”
“I’m not saying all people who wear makeup do it because they want to feel different. They just want to feel good about themselves.”
“It’s just the same thing as changing the way you dress or whatever—you put on something that makes you feel better about yourself.”
The Insane Clown Posse’s journey in the music industry
Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope were two guys who were trying to stand out from the crowd. They started out by putting on some red and white face paint back in the 1980s, and soon enough, their “gang of clown posse” was getting a lot of attention – or so it seemed. Since then, they’ve gone from being a cult-like following to one of the most successful rap groups around today.
In this article, Joseph Bruce talks about how he was at the center of both of their careers since he was one of their original band members too! He talks about various topics, including how they got into music, what caused them to become so popular (or actually be just regular dudes), did they just want attention?

How ICP got popular and why they’re still going strong!
In this article, we’re going to take a look at how ICP became the clowns they are today. It all started when Joseph J. Bruce and John Utsler decided to start a band in Detroit. Their first album was a moderate success but then they had their most major hit with “My Axe.” The song reached number 1 on the Billboard charts and got them their big break. But it wasn’t just that song that made ICP famous. The members of ICP have always been considered as clowns and have been wearing makeup since the beginning.
But, if you ask Violent J, Shaggy 2 Dope, or Joe Bruce what really started their rise to fame, they’ll all tell you different stories! [[What really caused them to become so popular? Did they just want attention? Or were they really just trying to make a statement?]]

Psychopathic records and their history of making music
In 1983, Joseph Bruce and his friend, John Joseph (also known as Violent J), formed a rap group called Inner City Posse. After releasing one album with the group in 1984, Bruce decided to form a new band called Psychopathic Records. From there, he was able to sign rappers Shaggy 2 Dope and Jayo Felony who became known for their horror-themed lyrics and horror-themed albums. Eventually, Shawn “Jayo” Jackson would also join the group.
The following year, in 1985, the duo changed their name from Psychopathic Records to Insane Clown Posse because people were confused by their name when they tried to perform at clubs or festivals. It was just too difficult to say! They released two more albums with Psychopathic before they split up in 1989. Then in 1992, after some time away from music during which Bruce started working as a lawyer and then got into politics, they released an album with Jive Records before forming their own record label again in 1995. The label is now going strong with many artists under its umbrella, including Twiztid, who have been signed since 2011 and have been nominated for a Grammy Award four times.
Juggalo makeup
Since the 1990s, Insane Clown Posse has been a staple in hip-hop and rap music. It is hard to imagine that they started out by putting on clown makeup.
However, it all began in the 1980s with Joseph Bruce. He was born in 1969 and grew up in Detroit, Michigan. He was always interested in art and decided to start a band when he discovered a love for rap. He bought his first synthesizer and began composing tunes while still at school.
Bruce found Shaggy 2 Dope when they were both looking for someone to help them produce their music, which was just Shaggy rapping over beats on an old tape machine. The two became friends and eventually formed a group called Inner City Posse, which included J’s brother John as well as his friend Ronald “Shun” Jackson, who would later go on to become Baby Clown from ICP’s Subliminal Verses album. They did not have any money or instruments, so they had to use what little resources that they could find – like masks from their local theater productions!
It wasn’t until after the release of their debut album Carnival of Carnage (1991) that Insane Clown Posse really took off with fans across America

Facial recognition software
and the new era of Insane Clown Posse
After 20 years, the members of Insane Clown Posse have removed their makeup in an effort to start fresh. Keeping with the “old” is like playing on a rusty old piano with all the keys broken. That’s why they decided it was time for a change. They are going to be just like everyone else who isn’t wearing makeup and they hope to inspire others to do the same.
This article explores how facial recognition software has affected their career and what it means for other artists. It also talks about how it may have impacted them and their reputation.

Insane clown posse fans

The iconic clowns have removed their makeup to show that they are just like any other person. Does this mean that it was all a lie? What made them so popular in the first place? And what does it say about society when one band can be so influential after only putting on the makeup for two decades?
Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope explain how their career has changed from being underground to mainstream.
