3:01 Pick Me Up: Insane Clown Posse

Let’s face it: 3 p.m. is the cruellest time of the workday. The morning latte has worn off, and the post-lunch crash has you staggering around like an extra from a George A. Romero flick. That’s why, each weekday at 3:01 p.m., we present you with a video hand-picked to kick-start your heart. If the following clip doesn’t bring you temporarily back to life and help get you through the rest of the afternoon, chances are you’re dead inside.

Today’s offering: Once you get past the immortal Robbie Van Winkle, few acts in hip-hop have taken more shit than Detroit’s Insane Clown Posse. Remember how Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope stupidly started a beef with Eminem, only to have Slim Shady rebrand them “Faggy 2 Dope and Violent Gay”? But you know what? As sure as Faygo kicks the ass of that pig-swill they sell at the Pop Shoppe, we’ve always loved I.C.P.’s The Great Milenko, and we don’t give a shit who knows it. Now, before we go any further, got your ticket? Great, take your coat off. And later on, why not, we’ll rip your throat off.
