Some Best-Loved Songs
May 2, 2011
[Sex and violence is] the stuff that people are talking about on the streets…to get attention, you have to speak their language. You have to interest them, gain their trust, talk to them and show you’re one of them. You’re a person from the street and speak of your experiences. Then at the end you can tell them God has helped me out like this and it might transfer over instead of just come straight out and just speak straight out of religion.
— Joseph Bruce of the hip hop duo Insane Clown Posse
Insane Clown Posse is respectfully reviewed by David Itzkoff in today’s New York Times. Itzkoff writes of the group’s concert in New York:
The group performed some of their best-loved tracks from their 1990s-era breakthrough, like “I Stab People” and the pro-cannibalism ode “Dead Body Man.”
