ICP is a great band they have change music and has broght for many new band. just because it dose not follow your perfict lives and is different dose not mean crap. u judge band by how they change the world. if you quit listening to the words u hear firt and listen to the word alot of there song talk about issue that u are just to dumb to realize.

Just because someone dosen't like Insane Clown Posse gives you no right to call them a hater. If you like them then that's fine, but it's not every one's cup of tea. Now, I like some rap, but Insane Clown Posse doses nothing for me. Rappers like Tupac and Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five are way better in my opinion.

They released an EP in 1990. Therefore they've been eligible since last year.

If Motley Crue are Banned for Life from Hall, then these guys are Double-Secret Banned. Plus, I think The Crue has a much better case than these goofballs.

^ I think Motley Crue will be inducted when they're all dead. I don't think the Hall would even consider ICP. Never going to happen...

yall can keep talking but icp is legendary! they should be in the hall of fame. WHOOP WHOOP to all my juggaloz

ICP are legends in their own underground scene, but they're the textbook definition of a niche band. Combined with lack of critical approval, ICP will never be in the Hall of Fame. Sorry to all of the Juggalos.

The haters can keep yapping but the poll numbers speak for itself

Posted by Preston Jennings on Thursday, 11/18/2021 @ 11:52am


People are soooooo upset that the majority said yes and it's making me really happy

Posted by Preston Jennings on Thursday, 11/18/2021 @ 11:55am


I knew somebody at my Burger King job that saw Insane Clown Posse live. This was in 2001.

HELL YEAH! INDUCT ICP THEY ARE LEGENDS WHOOP WHOOP

Posted by Juggalotus on Sunday, 01/16/2022 @ 01:33am


ICP have done so much in their career. They deserve the Hall of Fame. They managed to sell millions of records and have a massive fanbase, all without radio or video play. 2 platinum albums, 5 gold albums. Count them. I know that because critics and media hate them, they will never be in. However i think they deserve it

Posted by Shaggy on Sunday, 01/16/2022 @ 01:41am


wether haters like to admit it or not... icp are legends. they are like the grateful dead, they created a culture. the media hates them, radio hates them, mtv hates them, the critics hate them, but they have sold millions of albums and every gathering draws huge attendence numbers. they deserve to be hall of famers.

Posted by Kyle on Friday, 04/15/2022 @ 00:40am


Double Secret Banned for Life, Kyle. I think that's how the boys would want it, tho.

Posted by Pau in KY on Friday, 04/15/2022 @ 07:05am


^that's what i love about em, they piss off the media and critics so much, but they have sold lots of records and have huge crowds at every gathering. who needs the hall of fame?

Most of you posting negative comments clearly have never actually "listened" to their music or what they are about.
ICP stands up against everything you hate in their music. Child molesters, bigotry, child/spousal abusers, rapists; the list goes on...
They have had their own, successful, record label since 1991. Sell their own top quality merchandise. These two are no clowns. If you like the music or not. For over 30 years they have been putting out undeniably influential work. That helped to bust open a whole new genre of hip-hop music. They have continued to evolve and keep things fresh without losing who they originally were. Also, creating an entire subculture that will live on long after they are gone. You can look up record sales and Billboard charts too. They have well. If all of that isn't Hall of Fame material. What is?

Posted by JRoot on Wednesday, 05/4/2022 @ 17:38pm


Obviously they're a controversial consideration, but they've been doing it for 30 years.. They have a massively loyal fanbase, they've sold far more records than a lot of previous inductees. They've been eligible for 6 years, and I'm not saying they need to go in soon, but I think if they're still making music, putting on giant festivals and a notable icon in the music industry for whatever reason, you'd have to consider them.

You don't just vote for what you like.. Pearl Jam had 5 good records, and they're been crap since, but people fall over themselves to fawn over them as inductees.. RHCP just didn't go away and kept making music, and they're legends regardless of their talent level.. ICP has literally been putting out records for 4 decades now, and people still care about them. When Stevie Nicks, as a solo artist who has no notable work outside of Fleetwood Mac can get inducted, or when Ritchie Valens can release two albums six months apart, die in a plane crash and get inducted, I don't think it's crazy that a hard working rap duo that's been satisfying their niche fan base for 40 would get a little consideration.

Again, it's not about you or your tastes, it's about the body of work for everyone. You'd be hard pressed to find more than a dozen acts in the RRHOF that over 50% of the people in the Rock and Roll listening world like.

MAtt, I'm pretty sure these clowns are Double-Secret Banned For Life from the Hall.

From what I've read of this band, they would be pretty down with that.

Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 07/28/2022 @ 06:27am


The Hall didn't give the axe from consideration; they gave them the hatchet.

Posted by Philip on Thursday, 07/28/2022 @ 22:15pm


I make my 69 y.o. father listen to ICP and he loves it, makes him cry, makes him laugh.
