During Insane Clown Posse‘s (ICP’s) early success in 1997 after their albums ‘Riddle Box‘ and ‘The Great Milenko‘ had shifted some big numbers they were handed a party flyer by a young man who was to become their nemesis. The flyer was an invite to a party featuring Esham, Kid Rock and ICP (maybe). Violent J of ICP bawled the young man out asking why he had put ICP on the bill without telling them. The young man replied “it says maybe and I’m asking you now. Are you coming?” Violent J said “Fuck no! But we might have if you hadn’t put us on the flyers first!” That young man was Marshall Mathers III who went on to diss ICP many times and clearly became far more successful than they ever were.
