Inner City Posse — Intelligence & Violence


First album of what will then be Insane Clown Posse, with Joseph "Violent J" Bruce and Dale "D-Lyrical" Miettinen Jr. to exchange violent bars on simple, lean, funky, minimal rhythms self-produced. The tape is released by independent Rude Time Productions. The music changes with every track: confused and heavy, light and simple, skinny and minimal, dark and syncopated, lively and vibrant, sometimes frenetic, also presenting both a dark cinematic rhythm both a sort of ballad / hip house joint minimal skinny with chorus interpreted with the vocoder. The two delivering in a decent way, without too many lyrical / technical evolutions, is a decent album, not recommended for anyone who is not a fan of the group or doesn't want to see what the ICP was before being the ICP. 6/10.
