ICP - "Riddle Box" (5 stars) Jun 29, 2008
1995 was a huge year for Detroit underground rap duo Insane Clown Posse. Mainly because they released their 3rd LP entitled "Riddle Box". This album is their first to be released in stores nationwide, due to Psychopathic Records' brief distribution deal with Jive Records' short-lived phony label "Battery Records".
When I first heard this album, I was completely blown away. Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope move away from gangsta rap and focus more on horrorcore. Violent J goes deeper in the depths of his infamous "sick storytelling rap". This is also the first album he uses his "squeaky" voice which he was once known for. Shaggy 2 Dope doesn't disappoint at all. In fact, he is nearly on par with J, although he doesn't tell stories as much, Shaggy can still spit the wicked "graveyard" and sex raps.
The production here stands out as well, once again, courtesy of the legendary Mike E. Clark. His production contribution here is what made me consider him one of the best underground rap producers out there. His beat style switches from funk ("Headless Boogie") to just flat out scary beats ("12"). ICP also co-produced this, like many of their previous releases. The production gets 2 thumbs up from me.
To give you a deeper analysis on the individual tracks. Here's my track-by-track ratings.
01. "Intro" (N/A)
02. "Riddle Box" (N/A)
03. "The Show Must Go On" (A+)
04. "Chicken Huntin' (Slaughter House Mix)" (B+)
05. "Interview" (N/A)
06. "Toy Box" (C+) (least favorite)
07. "Cemetary Girl" (A+)
08. "3 Rings" (B+)
09. "Headless Boogie" (A+) (favorite)
10. "The Joker's Wild" (A+)
11. "Dead Body Man" (A+)
12. "Lil' Somthin' Somthin'" (A+)
13. "Ol' Evil Eye" (A)
14. "12" (A)
15. "The Killing Fields (ft. Legs Diamond)" (B+)
16. "I'm Coming Home" (A+)
So to answer the question; is this my favorite ICP album? Yes, well, at least on the same boat as "The Great Milenko". But, I'll get to that one later. I strongly recommend this to Juggalos, people who like funky rap and horrorcore rap fans. This album was well worth every penny. Just go ahead and give it a sample, if you like what you hear, take my word for it and purchase it, if you don't like it, that's fine. And if you're skeptical, that's actually quite an understandable feeling when looking into ICP. But that feeling should soon wear off once you hear this classic. Peace.

I don't get it Jul 19, 2007
As a grown-up, I don't get this stuff, but my 21 year old daughter loves it. Go figure! Not for the young, though!!!
