The Workout

 

Chapter 1


Shondra was fresh out of the shower and admired herself in her full length mirror. She was 5 foot 11 and weighed nearly 500 pounds. She rubbed her enormous double belly with her chubby, soft hands as she let out a pleased chuckle. She had an extremely round face with chubby cheeks and a triple chin that wobbled as she laughed. Her dark, mocha skinned shined as she turned to the side. Her belly flopped against the bottom of her thighs just above her knees. Her bare breasts rested nicely on her upper belly and she rubbed those too as she admired her figure. Her hands found her belly again and lifted it up to expose her massive fupa before letting it drop, landing against her knees with a SMACK that actually winded her for a second. Her thighs wobbled as she turned around to admire her ass next. It was not only round but wide as well, her best friend Kim would say when Shondra twerked at the club, it would cause an earthquake. She gave her booty a wiggle which caused it to massively jiggle. She stuck her tongue out and leaned forward, imagining she was grinding on Kim. When she was finished she wiped her brow which had begun to sweat a little. Being nearly 500 pounds made even these little movements tough for Shondra, but she wouldn't have it any other way. She and her best friend Kim were big beautiful women and loved to flaunt their curves, specifically with each other. Both of them lived a life of indulgence which caused both of them to put on quite a bit of weight since Kim moved to the United States from England two years earlier. Every now and then when the two ladies would drink, they flirted with each other but never actually hooked up. Shondra was very attracted to Kim but Kim was married to a man and she felt bad about making Kim cheat on her husband, even if it was with her. She knew her husband wasn't attracted to her so a three-way with him was out of the question. Because of her declining mobility, it was Kim's idea for Shondra and her to start doing yoga. The only problem was they had no idea what they were doing so Shondra decide to hire an instructor.


Shondra grunted and groaned as she struggled to put on her size 34 black panties. She could hear the seams stretch as she got them over her tree trunk thighs but met resistance by her gigantic ass. She wiggled her heavenly hips and got them on and had to wipe her brow again. She was already getting a workout just putting on her clothes. Up next came her size 34 yoga pants which were navy blue and a size (insert). Her thighs wobbled as she huffed and puffed to pull them up over her hanging belly. Once her belly and booty were in, once again she was almost out of breath as she admired her figure. Her huge, pillow arms jiggled as she shook them to get some circulation before stretching. Last but not least she had to put on a sports bra and a t-shirt. She waddled over to her dresser and could feel the seams on her yoga pants stretching as she wobbled. She pulled out a gray sports bra and managed to squeeze her 50D breasts into it. Her boob fat was spilling out of the sides but thankfully there was no pesky wire to dig into her. She found a plain white t-shirt to put on and had trouble putting that on as well. As she wobbled back to the mirror she lifted her belly up and let it slap against her thighs again before saying outloud “Damnnn girl yer getting big!” She was always a big girl in high school but having your best friend be a 'gluttonous oink' as she called it caused Shondra to balloon from 300 to nearly 500 pounds since she found Kim on a BBW website four years earlier. Shondra waddled to the living room and after rolling out her yoga mat, she plopped down on the couch, which groaned and creaked from her weight. Now she had to wait for Kim and the instructor to show up. Shondra reached for her pack of Marlboro Reds, grabbed her lighter and lit a cigarette. As she took a drag, she looked down and started jiggling her own gut which caused her to say “Ooooooh hehehehe” She checked her phone to see if anyone had messaged her and indeed both the instructor and Kim had made it know they were on their way. She had found an instructor on a series of YouTube vids that just happened to be local and hired him for $25 an hour. What she didn't know is this was going to be one of the most memorable workouts she ever could have imagined.




Chapter 2


Around an hour later the doorbell rang and Shondra had to struggle just to get off the couch. She had to lean forward, huff, lean back, huff again before finally heaving herself forward enough to make it to her feet. Her knees and back cracking as she wobbled to balance herself. The doorbell rang again as Shondra said “I'm coming, I'm coming, hold up.” Shondra waddled to the door and opened it and standing in the doorway was her friend Kim. Kim stood about 5 foot 8 and weighed just over 300 pounds. She had her brown hair back in a ponytail and had cute chubby cheeks and a double chin along with glow in her smile. She had on a black Nike t-shirt that said “Just Do It” and underneath was a 42DD black sports bra. She was wearing gray size 28 yoga pants and she was built a bit differently than Shondra. While Shondra was as wide as she was tall, Kim grew outward instead of horizontal. Her belly and booty were both quite round although she had big thick thighs. She too seemed to be crammed into her workout clothes only her wobble was a lot less prevalent. She had her purse in one hand and a yoga mat underneath her other arm. She walked in the door and said in a thick British accent “What took you so long, girl?” Shondra put her hand on her hip and said “Had to haul my fat ass off the couch, get in here.” Kim set her Gucci bag on the hallway counter and pulled out her pack of Camel cigarettes and set them next to Shondra's pack. “Is our instructor here yet?” Shondra shook her head and her chins wobbled “No, not yet. Better get set up.”


Kim bent over to roll her yoga mat out and Shondra checked out Kim's ass while she did that. Much to Shondra's delight, Kim wasn't wearing any panties and her pants were just a tiny bit see-through. Not as badly as her own were but she didn't know that. Kim looked over her shoulder and chuckled as she noticed Shondra staring. “Like the view, Shondra?” Shondra nodded her head and said “Girl yo ass is fire, just spittin facts.” Kim “Haha, if you say so.” Kim bent back up and started stretching her arms. She too had arm fat developing but not nearly as prolific as Shondra's arms. Shondra waddled over to her mat and Kim couldn't help but notice. She bit her bottom lip and said “You're really starting to wobble, love.” Shondra replied “Yeah yeah, I know.” Kim “I dig it.” Shondra was taken aback and said “Wait, really?” Kim said “I wasn't expecting to, but the way you jiggle and wiggle, I can get into it, love.” Shondra picked up her belly and said “You like this jiggle?” before letting it drop and smack against her thighs.” Kim said “Shondra that was brilliant.” Kim lifted her own belly only hers landed mid-thigh when it dropped. Shondra smiled and said “No, THAT was brilliant. Do yo thing girl.” Kim walked up and bumped Shondra's belly with her own and Shondra bumped hers back. Shondra grabbed Kim's belly and shook it while saying “Living in America has done wonders for you.” Kim laughed and grabbed Shondra's belly, wobbling it a bit gentler than Shondra was and said “Me living here is doing wonders for you too, love.” Shondra “Wouldn't have it any other way, just need to get a little exercise in our lives.” Kim nodded her head and started rubbing Shondra's belly more gently than playfully “I agree, you're really getting big, hun. I'm starting to wobble around myself and my husband is concerned.” Shondra stopped jiggling Kim and started rubbing her belly gently as well. “Oh sweetie, hopefully this will make us feel better. You look great in your outfit by the way, girl.” Kim looked at herself and said “I do?” Shondra nodded and said “Yeah really, you could sway down the street and the fellas would love it.” Kim said “Don't forget about yourself. The way you wobble I'm surprised you're still single.” Shondra nodded and said “Your husband better appreciate you, you're gorgeous.” Kim looked away for a second and said “Rubbish, he's always “concerned” about me but even when I was smaller he wasn't really into me.” Shondra says “Forget about him, you look great.” As they continued to rub each other's belly, the doorbell rang again. Shondra and Kim's hands pushed off each other as they were started. Shondra said “Ok, let's get some exercise.” She had no idea what kind was in store for the two of them.


Chapter 3


Shondra waddled over to the door and opened it. Much to her delight was a man in his 30's with blonde hair, blue eyes, muscles and looked to be 5 foot 8 and 175 pounds. He was wearing a white tanktop and maroon workout shorts along with white sneakers while holding a yoga mat under his arms. He looked up at Shondra and looked surprise before saying “Shondra??” Shondra's eyes bulged wide as she instantly knew who her instructor was. “David?? Damnnnnn boy how you been?” David “Oh wow, it is you!” David dropped the yoga mat and hugged Shondra close and as his arms sank into her rolls, his smile got even brighter. Shondra felt his hands squeeze her rolls and could only giggle as she said “Come in, come in.” David picked up his mat and walked inside as Shondra waddled to the living room where Kim was waiting for them. Shondra said “Kim, I want you to meet an old friend of mine. This is David, we went to high school together a long time ago.” David held his free hand out and he shook Kim's hand before looking her up and down as her arm jiggled. Kim “Nice to meet you.” David “The pleasure is all mine Kim.” Kim smiled as David tilted his head toward Shondra “I've known this bitch longer than high school, we used to push each other in the sandbox in pre-school until we both realized we liked each other.” Shondra punched David's arm and said “Boy I know you ain't callin me a bitch, I'll push you again.” David smiled and said “Please do. Let me get set up.”


As David looked around and started rolling his mat out a good distance from the other two mats, Kim looked over at Shondra and mouthed “He's hot” and Shondra nodded her head while mouthing back “I know.” Shondra waddled over to her mat with Kim standing on hers with her hands on her protruding hips. David said “Ok, what we're going to do doesn't require stretching before we do anything. But we need to be constantly hydrated, do you two have water?” Kim looked at Shondra and they both shook their heads. David “Do you have water bottles? You're going to need them.” Shondra said “I'll get some” and waddled off with David's eyes watching her curves wobble in her yoga pants. He looked over at Kim who bit her bottom lip and he winked at her. Shondra waddled back from the fridge and tossed Kim a bottle before setting hers down by her mat. David set his feet and said “Ok, first I want you to do is bend your knees a little and reach like you're saying 'touchdown'.” David raised his arms slowly like he was signaling a touchdown as Kim said “Touchdown?” Shondra began to raise her huge, pillow soft arms and said “Don't mind her, she's British. Just do this, Kim.” Kim followed David and Shondra's lead and David could see both of their exposed bellies with their arms up. David smiled and said “Ok now bring them down and back up but use your own dynamic resistance. Pretend like you're underwater.” David brought his arms down and back up as Kim and Shondra did the same. Shondra started huffing already as David said “Alright so bring your arms down and make a diamond symbol with your hands. Kim and Shondra followed David's lead and David said “Alright now raise your arms over your head like this and arch your back. Kim and Shondra did the best they could and once again David checked out their bellies when their shirts rode up. David said “Now bring your arms out and then flex like this.” Kim and Shondra again followed David's lead as he could hear their bones and joints creaking, further making him smile.” David said “Now arch your back like you're standing at attention for the army...and relax.” Kim and Shondra both did it as he could see some sweat on Kim's forehead while Shondra was already sweating profusely. David “Let's do it again but all in one motion.” David led the way and checked out both Kim and Shondra's bodies wobble as they did their best to keep up. Finally Shondra said “Stop, stop, gotta catch by breath” Shondra started fanning herself with both hands as David walked over and said “Is everything okay?” Shondra replied “Yeah” before David said “What happened to you?” Shondra laughed, grabbed her belly and jiggled it before saying “I got fat, that's what happened.” David couldn't help himself and rubbed her belly before saying “Wow, you really did.” Kim put her hand over her mouth to keep from giggling as Shondra punched his arm again and said “Why you rubbing my gut for, weirdo? You think I'm hot or something?” David nodded his head and said “Yes, I do actually.” Shondra said “Wait....what?”


Chapter 4


David looked down shocked that he was so blunt but the truth was he really was attracted to Shondra and always had been. David “You knew that, didn't you?” Shondra “Hell no. You've been an athlete since elementary school and was always dating thin bitches. Since when did you have the hots for me?” David replied “I always did but my parents were very critical about who I dated. Hell my father didn't exactly like you and I never understood why. But the truth is if I could have dated you in high school, I would have.” Shondra looked over at Kim and said “You hearing this?” Kim said “Well, if he says he likes you, then he likes you. Can we get back to work though? We're paying him 25 an hour.” David shook his head and said “Yes, yes....lets try some table positions.” David walked over to his mat still entranced by the softness of Shondra's belly. She felt like an inflated marshmallow and he loved the sensation. He then got down on his knees with his arms in push up position and said “Do what I'm doing here.” Kim had a bit of trouble hauling her frame to the ground but Shondra took extra time, needing to use the couch to get herself on the ground and in that position. David smiled and said “Turn to your side so I can see your forms.” Both ladies complied and David smiled again. He didn't need to see their form, he just wanted to see how far their bellies hung and their asses up in the air. He was mesmerized by how Kim's body grew outward while Shondra's jutted out sideways. David put his right arm out and said “Now bring your right arm out like you're going to shake someones hand.” Kim and Shondra put their arms out and looked at David who brought his left foot back. David “Now bring your left foot back, this is a bit tricky but this is a good way to stretch and build some balance. Shondra could barely get her thunder thighs off the ground and even Kim had trouble keeping balance. Kim finally said “Love, can you help me please?” David hopped to his feet and walked over to Kim. He said “What do you need?” Kim looked up at him and smiled with a devilish grin and said, am I doing it right? Shondra looked at her confused and David kneeled down. Kim put her arm out weakly and her left leg out to the side. David said “No, left leg straight out, right arm straight out.” David gently grabbed her arm and held it out then looked over at her leg. When Kim noticed David looking at her she wiggled her booty. Shondra said “Oh hell no, girl, keep it professional.” David said “I'm not complaining.” Kim said “Relax girl, its all in fun. You should try it.” David's eyes lit up and said “Yeah Shondra. Try it.” Shondra giggled and said “You perv, that's just what you want isn't it? Fine, have a look.” Shondra grunted as she stuck her right arm out and lifted her left leg as far as she could before wobbling her booty. David said “That's what I'm talking about.” as Kim said “See, have fun with it.” David turned to Kim and said “Your turn again” Kim giggled and without even lifting her leg just started wiggling it. Kim's ass bounched and wobbled and her face turned red as she felt David's eyes on her. Shondra somewhat army crawled from her mat to Kim's and smacked her ass hard. Kim cried out “Oh!” and bit her bottom lip as Shondra said “You show off. That's what ya get.” David was turned on by Kim's British accent as much as he was by her ass getting slapped by Shondra. David said “Do it again Shondra.” Shondra said “With pleasure” and once again smacked Kim's ass causing Kim to go “Oh!”. David kneeled down beside Kim and said “That feel good?” Kim said “Yes....” and David asked “Can I do it?” He looked at Shondra who shrugged and said “Up to her.” Kim looked up and David and said “Well, get back there and smack my arse.” David shifted himself a bit, reared back and connected a big slap on her big fat bum. Kim closed her eyes and moaned “Oh...ohhhhh...” Shondra got to her knees and slapped Kim's ass as well as David said “Double trouble, smack dat ass.” David and Shondra both reared back and connected slaps on both of Kim's bum cheeks causing her to cry out “Ohhhhhh.” Kim finally spoke “Now it's Shondra's turn. My bum needs a rest.” David reached down and began rubbing Kim's ass as she said “Mmmmm, that feels good.” Shondra wobbled and jiggled as she turned herself around on her mat. David said “I've wanted to do this since high school, Shondra.”


Chapter 5


Kim turned herself around and David said “You do the honors, Kim.” Kim giggled and slapped Shondra's ass causing Shondra to go “mmmmmm.” Kim said “Your turn David, off you go.” David kneeled down and said “You sure this is okay?” Shondra nodded her head and said “Smack dat ass.” David reated back and connected on Shondra's double wide booty. David instantly felt a different sensation while Kim's was more firm, Shondra's was extra soft. Just like her belly, it was like spanking a marshmallow. Just like when they did it to Kim, Kim and David both connected with each of Shondra's booty cheeks and she said “mmmmmmm”. Kim said “Don't you like slapping such a wide bum, David” Shondra said “Hah, be jealous.” David reached down and started rubbing Shondra's booty up and down while saying to Kim “Wow, you're right, this ass is huge.” Shondra looked back over her shoulder and said “You love it David, don't lie.” David nodded his head and said “I do actually” David put his hands on Shondra's wide hips and wobbled her booty up and down and Shondra started giggling. Kim put his hands over David's and helped him as their eyes locked. Up close he looked at Kim and said “Your face is so beautiful.” Kim's face flushed and said “Thank you.” Shondra said “Hey back there, get to rubbin!” Kim and David jittered and went back to rubbing only Kim planted a big kiss on Shondra's left ass cheek. David replied by kissing her right one as Shondra looked back at him and said “You're such a kiss ass!” David laughed and said “Hey it was her idea.” Kim “Oh you haven't seen anything yet David, watch this.” Kim reached over and pulled Shondra's yoga pants down to expose her panty covered booty. Shondra's face flushed red and she said “Oh my god Kim you bitch!” Shondra couldn't reach back far enough to pull them back up as both Kim and David smacked her ass. When she finally got her pants back up and said “Oh you shouldn't have done that. Its YOUR turn Kim.” Kim's face turned to nervous and David played along and said “Yup, she's right, your turn.” Kim said “Um...I can't.” Shondra said “Tell him why, I don't think he knows.” David said “Why not?” Kim said “I'm not wearing any panties.” David said “I already know, I could tell when you guys were on all fours. Believe me, I'd know those things.” Shondra said “Not good enough” and bulled through David to knock Kim on her stomach. Kim said “Hey, what are you doing?” Shondra pinned Kim's arms down and said “David, pull em down.” Kim tried to resist but she was more laughing than she was angry as David slowly slid Kim's yoga pants down to expose her bare bum. David said “Holy moly now that is an arse.” Shondra said “Bet your husband wishes he was here now.” but David snapped up and said “Wait what?” David got to his feet as Shondra let up long enough for Kim to pull her pants up. David “You didn't tell me she was married.” Kim said “Yes, I should have.” Shondra said “Oh cut that out, you didn't seem to mind when ya were shakin ya ass around for David.” David “What about you, are you married?” Shondra said “Does it matter?” David replied “Yes it matters, I don't want to break up marriages.” Shondra laughed “Don't worry, you're not doing anything. Its been a while since we had some fun.” Kim rolled over onto her back and said “He doesn't like that I'm fat.” David “He doesn't? How could he not. Look at you two, you're gorgeous. Id rub both your bellies if I cou.....” David stopped midsentence as both Kim and Shondra looked at him with devilish eyes. Shondra said “Oh now you hafta, boy.” Kim said “Yup, get down here.” David said “Wait, I got an idea.” David pulled Shondra's mat directly next to Kim then his own next to Shondra's to create one big mat. He laid down next to Kim with his head on her shoulder and began to rub Kim's belly through her shirt. Kim said “Ohhhh that feels good. Do you like?” David said “I really do, you're plump and pretty Kim.” David admired the sensation he felt from rubbing Kim's belly, it was soft but still firm just like her bum was and it jiggled nicely to his touch. David was really getting turned on but still felt morally wrong so he wasn't going to do anything else. He then felt a tap on his shoulder and it was Shondra who was now laying on her back. David looked over and saw that Shondra had removed her t-shirt and was just laying in her sports bra. He admired her boob fat spilling out and her giant belly. She said “Get to rubbin, boy.” David could only smile as he descended down upon her.

Chapter 6


David slowly put his hands on Shondra's belly and his other around her head and he moaned. Just like her own booty, Shondra's belly was marshmallowy soft. Her whole body wobbled as David rubbed Shondra's belly and thighs. Shondra began to moan as David started to get rock hard. He rubbed her boobs, belly and thighs and her moans became more intense. Before anything else could happen, Kim said “Hey don't forget about me over here.” David composed himself and said “Good point, Shondra, scooch over to the middle so we can both enjoy this.” David got up and Shondra slid over to the middle as Kim draped her leg over Shondra's thigh and began rubbing Shondra's huge gut. Shondra put her arm around Kim's head and pulled her in and used her other arm to pull David in on the other side. Kim slid Shondra's yoga pants down and let her whole belly spill out. David whispered in Shondra's ear “You really got fat Shondra.” Shondra normally would say a sarcastic or smart ass remark but to David's surprise, she was so horny she could only say “Do you like that?” David nodded his head and kisses Shondra's chubby cheek. “It looks great on you, you're huge. How did you get so fat?” Shondra said “I was always over 300 pounds but the combination of the pandemic and Kim being my eating buddy got me this big. We just kept eating and I just kept getting fatter. My doctor says I needed to get some exercise which is why I hired you.” David “Well we can get back to work if you want, or I can keep....” Before he could answer Shondra reached up and pulled him in for a deep, long, kiss.” Kim said “Oh god” as Shondra and David kissed, their eyes closed. As they separated David said “I've always wanted to do that.” Kim then pulled Shondra's head and kissed her deeply herself.” David said “Damn Shondra, you got everyone wanting you.” As Kim pulled away, she and David continued rubbing Shondra's belly and thighs. Finally all three of them stopped moving and just laid there holding each other. David whispered “We need to do this more often.” Kim said “How much do we owe you?” David said “Free of charge....but next time, there's something we need to do.” Shondra said “What's that?” David whispered in Shondra's ear “Next time....I'm getting you both on the scale” and kissed Shondra deep. Kim giggled and said “Sounds like fun.” Shondra closed her eyes and smiled, wanting nothing more than to get even fatter for her two friends cuddled close with her. The next time David came over, she wanted to put on the show of a lifetime.



THE END....(for now)

Carnival of Carnage: 30 Years of Insane Clown Posse

 Whoop Whoop Juggalos! The Insane Clown Posse has been polarizing figures in the world of entertainment for four decades running and whether you love them or hate them, its hard to ignore their legacy that they left. For over 30 years the ICP has made their mark in the wrestling world, the music industry and even the horror world with their special brand of "horrorcore" music. Without ICP there would be no Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie and possibly no Eminem either. The always controversial Insane Clown Posse started their journey that could be traced back to 1989.


Without going into an in-depth chronicle of the entire history of the group, I do need to bring up the beginnings. Growing up in the ghetto of Detroit Michigan, Joseph "Violent J" Bruce, his older brother Robert "Jumpsteady" and a pair of brothers Joe "Shaggy 2 Dope" and John "John Kickjazz" Utsler were all fans of rap music rather than the predominantly featured hair metal of the late 1980's. Joe Bruce dropped out of school his freshman year and turned to gang life, calling his gang "Inner City Posse" while his older brother Robert enlisted in the US Military. Robert aided his brother by sending him army issued tear gas but things went south when their mother's house was attacked by a rival gang. Joe moved into a trailer park as a teenager in Bonnie Doone, North Carolina while Robert was stationed at Fort Bragg. It was there where the brothers encountered severe racism that later would factor into their records. Eventually Joe moved back home and decided to get out of the gang life. After reuniting with the Utsler brothers to go into independent wrestling under the tutelage of legendary Detroit wrestler Al Costello of The Fabulous Kangaroos, the trio tried their hand in music. The two Joes and John named themselves the JJ Boys and recorded the song Party At The Top of The Hill which is now the Holy Grail of ICP music since not even the guys themselves have copies of it. Eventually Joe Bruce learned that someone he knew named Dale Miettinen Jr had a karaoke machine that had instrumental tracks of popular songs at the time. Joe renamed himself Violent J while Dale became D-Lyrical and the music group "Inner City Posse" was born. Rapping over the known beats with their own lyrics, the ICP recorded their first "album" Intelligence & Violence when J was just 17 years old in 1989.

 
Who knew Joseph Bruce of the Inner City Posse would be a worldwide household name back in 1989?

With his wrestling career pretty much stalled due to the declining popularity of pro wrestling outside of the World Wrestling Federation (a story for another day), J got his own karaoke machine from his girlfriend at the time to record another "album" in 1990. This time D-Lyrical was barely featured in favor of the Utsler brothers. The 17 year old John was renamed John Kickjazz while 16 year old Joe was christened "2 Dope". The second cassette tape known as Bass-ment Cutz was the first one sold commercially in 1991 since Intelligence & Violence was handed out for free just to get them noticed. Robert Bruce was sent to Saudi Arabia to fight in the Gulf War but while he was stationed overseas, he told his brother to ask his friend who owned a record store named Alex Abbiss if he could be their manager. When Abbiss heard Bass-Ment Cutz he liked what he heard and established Psychopathic Records to get the group on a label. The ICP as we know it was slowly coming together but there was something missing at the time.

2 Dope, Violent J and John Kickjazz in 1991

What made the Inner City Posse a target of criticism was they were caught between a rock and hard place. White boys didn't do gangsta rap in 1991 which was dominated by the N.W.A, Ice Cube, Above The Law and Ice T by that point. Most white rappers were cheesy acts like Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch, Vanilla Ice and the mostly incoherent reggae rapper Snow (try to decipher Informer without looking it up). Not really cheesy but one hit wonder hip hop group House of Pain truthfully did manage a top ten hit with "Jump Around" but couldn't follow up.  Doing straight up gangsta rap was taboo for the trio but they trudged on as best they could. Their first release under the Psychopathic Records label would be the 4 track EP Dog Beats in February 1991. That's where the group grinded for everything they could including a hilarious story once told that the trio took turns dating hideous looking women (in their opinions) who worked at Kinkos just to get fliers made they could distribute for their local shows. While J was putting fliers on cars parked outside a heavy metal concert, one of the security guards punched him out which gave J his signature crooked nose he still has today. Radio stations refused to play their music when they realized they were white and not even Alex Abbiss could get their music nationally. Instead of giving up, a dream by Violent J changed everything in the middle of 1991. J's dream one night was of a demented clown running around Delray, Detroit and he suggested they change their name from the Inner City Posse to the Insane Clown Posse.

 
And they thought the Kinkos women looked unattractive? Check out this guy

Just like their rival Eminem (another story for another time) eventually was discovered by legendary rap producer Dr. Dre, the ICP needed their own mentor and rap music star to help them get noticed. One of the most well known Detroit rappers at the time was 19 year old Esham Smith aka Esham. What made him different was he didn't just rap about the usual topics his contemporaries used, but horror elements as well. Esham rapped about hell, Satan, horror and other psychotic topics that he himself called "acid rap". When Violent J handed him a copy of Dog Beats, Esham liked the potential of the group and would do his best to get them work or mention them to anyone he could.

 
Without Esham, there probably is no Insane Clown Posse

Although Violent J didn't want to rap about Satan as much as Esham would, he got a new direction for the group's lyrics from another dream he had. One night he dreamt that ghosts taking the form of a traveling carnival was coming to town. This became the basis of not only their first album, but most of their discography moving forward. The "Dark Carnival" saga was born and so was their first album Carnival of Carnage. J's horror inspired lyrics and themes came from the "Joker Card" which describes a specific entity that comes to warn the town in the album about their evil ways. The album kicks off with the intro narrated by J about the Carnival of Carnage coming to the listeners town to hold everyone accountable for their evil ways. In many ways Insane Clown Posse haters misunderstand the lyrics that even though they rap about violence against women and chopping heads off, they're doing it as a warning NOT to do that. Esham himself pitched in for the second track but said carnage wrong so J had to overdub himself. The third track inadvertently became a staple of their impending fanbase but was originally supposed to be the "Joker Card" called The Juggla. The Juggla was supposed to be a hatchet swinging clown that targeted racists, wife beaters and assorted trash but while performing the song live, J called fans "Juggalos". Juggalos and Juggalettes have been the official names of the fans ever since. Not only did Esham appear on the album but so did Robert Bruce who was back from the Persian Gulf. Now known as Jumpsteady, Robert was featured on the final track "Taste" along with Esham, a longtime friend of J's named Nate The Mack and Russian president Boris Yeltsin...just kidding. The final guy was Capitol E on the last track. A special guest on the track Is That You? would be a 21 year old aspiring rapper named Robert Ritchie. Don't recognize that name? How about his stage name KID ROCK? That's right, a young Kid Rock who many claim worked harder than Eminem and ICP to get to the top did a duet with Violent J although he showed up to the recording session drunk off his ass. To show that he wasn't as bad as he seemed, Kid returned the following day sober to re-record his parts and even though 2 Dope didn't like him as a person, he respected Rock for being professional enough to come back sober. One funny story ICP tells is Kid Rock asked how much Esham was paid to be on the album and they said 500 dollars. Kid Rock said to give him SIX hundred and he'd do Is That You? for them. 2 Dope later said they should have lied and said Esham did it for 150.

 
Nothing says Insane Clown Posse like...Kid Rock?

One of the concepts of the album was judging those that committed sins on a daily basis including racism. As mentioned earlier, the Bruce brothers experienced racism first hand when they were in North Carolina and epitomized their loathing on Carnival of Carnage. Although Violent J carried the load for the most part lyrically throughout the album, the Utsler brothers were featured in two tracks tackling racism head on in Red Neck Hoe and Fuck Your Rebel Flag. One of J's battle cries on The Juggla was "Fuck the south". Amazing how a horrorcore rap group that specializes in lopping off body parts for fun doesn't tolerate racism but hey, at least they have SOME morals. To this day the ICP condemns domestic violence and racism while continuing to point out the lyrics are for entertainment, not to be taken seriously. So how did Carnival of Carnage do commercially when all was said and done? It sold a whopping 17 copies its first day on October 19, 1992 and that number ended up being a running joke moving forward. The sad note was John Kickjazz left the group after the album was completed and after a failed experiment by having a fan be on their next EP to replace Kickjazz (which ironically was the plot of the movie Rockstar with Marky Mark himself), 2 Dope and J continued on as a duo. One has to wonder what would have been if Kickjazz stayed and its a shame that he passed away in 2015 at the age of 42 years old.

 
RIP John Kickjazz

Without rambling on about the career of ICP, their legacy to this day is still controversial. Because Juggalos are some of the most loyal fans to a fault and the nature of the Insane Clown Posse's lyrics, they're bound to have some bad apples. Well the apples were apparently bad enough that the Federal Bureau of Investigation foolishly classified Juggalos as a legitimate gang and wanted by the government.  The logo for Psychopathic Records has always been a tiny man with a meat cleaver and the FBI deemed that their gang symbol. That doesn't stop the ICP or their fans from having a weeklong Woodstock like event called The Gathering of the Juggalos every year. Fans that attended this year got a copy of what could be ICP's last single "The Hunt for Big Smoke". Violent J is semi-retired now at the age of 50 after years of heart related problems while the 48 year old Shaggy 2 Dope still performs nationally as a solo most of the time. It all goes back to 1992 when Esham, Alex Abbiss and producer Mike Clark took a chance on the Insane Clown Posse with Carnival of Carnage. To this day some of the songs such as Night of The Axe, The Juggla and Fuck Your Rebel Flag still hold up and their good friend Dr. Phil (yes of course I'm serious) vouches for all the good work they've done to set people straight despite their image. Love them or hate them, their impact the last 30 years can't be ignored. So give one last Whoop Whoop! for the family, and come one, come all for the Carnival of Carnage.

 
Look out FBI!
