History Music / TheMightyDeathPop

* HilariousInHindsight: ICP tapped Fred Durst of Music/LimpBizkit to record a guest verse on their cover of AMG's "Bitch Betta Have My Money". Six years later, Shaggy was drunk during a Limp Bizkit concert (at New Jersey's Rock Allegiance Festival) and decided to prank Durst while the band performed and run up on stage and pretended to try to dropkick Durst while he was singing. He was subsequently dragged off stage by Limp Bizkit's security, despite Durst insisting that it wasn't necessary because "it's only one guy". Violent J later reached out to Durst personally to say it was just a joke and Shaggy wasn't actually trying to dropkick Durst, and Durst said there was no hard feelings. DJ Lethal was ''pissed'' at ICP, though, and posted a video to his Instagram trashing them, which he subsequently deleted. Shaggy later apologized to Durst for the incident. The incident's still funny, though.

* {{Misblamed}}: After Mike E. Clark returned to producing Insane Clown Posse following his absence on ''Music/TheWraithShangriLa'' and ''Music/HellsPit'', some fans blamed Clark for the PopRap approach taken on ''The Tempest'', ''Music/BangPowBoom'' and ''The Mighty Death Pop!'', because they were expecting a return to the sound of ''Music/TheAmazingJeckelBrothers'' and ''Music/TheGreatMilenko'', and didn't like the LighterAndSofter approach.

* HypocriticalHumor: Some fans have suggested that "Shooting Stars" is this, as ICP rap about sneaking into the Grammys to murder Music/ChrisBrown in retaliation for his domestic violence towards Music/{{Rihanna}}, given the ''Music/CarnivalOfCarnage'' song "Blackin' Your Eyes" and an anecdote in ''Behind the Paint'' about ICP allegedly throwing bricks at prostitutes, because ICP take the position that Brown is undeserving of redemption. The distinction here, however, is that "Blackin' Your Eyes" is a song written from an evil character's perspective, something ICP sometimes does to condemn their actions, and whether the hooker bricks story is true or made up for entertainment purposes (as some stories in celebrity memoirs are, such as some controversial claims Music/MarilynManson had made about himself in his autobiography ''The Long Hard Road Out of Hell'', a book that was subsequently revealed by its authors to be mostly fictional), the stories in ''Behind the Paint'' that paint ICP's younger selves in a negative light were actually written out of remorse, as J deeply regretted a lot of things he did when he was younger and dumber when he got older, and while some fans may see J as being hypocritical here, it may just be that J doesn't see Chris Brown as having any remorse over what he'd done to Rihanna.

* MoodWhiplash: "Skreeem!", a {{Horrorcore}} rap song featuring Music/{{Hopsin}} and Music/TechN9ne, is immediately followed by the soft and light toned PopRap song "Ghetto Rainbows".

* NewSoundAlbum: After two albums, ''The Tempest'' and ''Bang! Pow! Boom!'', that especially leaned into RapRock and PopRap, ''The Mighty Death Pop!'' leaned more heavily into HipHop instead of Rap Rock, but continues ICP's Pop Rap direction.

* DirtyRap: ''Freaky Tales'', packaged with the ''Black Pop'' Edition, is an album-length [[CoverVersion Cover]] of Music/TooShort's "Freaky Tales". It's [[EpicRocking 60 minutes]] of "hoe flows": J and Shaggy take turns rapping about sex with different women for an hour. ''Spin'' called it "a party record and boundaries-busting endurance test, all at once", and later named "Freaky Tales" as [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic the 39th best Hip-Hop album of 2012]]. Not ''The Mighty Death Pop!'', but '''''Freaky Tales'''''.
