To start, here's their names; Violent J's name Is Joseph Bruce and Shaggy 2 Dope's real name is Joseph Ultser. ICP stands for Insane Clown Posse.ICP used to stand for Inner City Posse. Under this name they did two albums; Basement Cuts and Dog Beats. Although Dog Beats can still be found in a few stores, only a few demo/tape copies of Basement Cuts were made. While Dog Beats started to become popular in the Detroit area, Inner City Posse started to become victims of gang violence, causing Shaggy 2 Dope, and Violent J to go out on their own. While some of the old ICP members were still cool with Shaggy and J, they weren't too thrilled with the whole Dark Carnival revolution, leaving the two clowns on their own. This is when the whole Joker's Cards idea started. Producing their first major LP (Carnival Of Carnage) under the name Insane Clown Posse, this would be the first of six Joker Cards. After the sixth card has fallen, the world will come to an end according to ICP.
