Beverly Kills 50187 was an album released by rap group Insane Clown Posse in 1993 on the Psychopathic Records label. ICP felt they should release small EPs in between the Joker's Cards to build up their fanbase and keep the Juggalos happy.
This album is most notable for two reasons: first, it features the only appearance of temporary member Kalyn Garcia (Also known as Greez-E), who only appears on the song "In the Haugh!!". John Kickchass (Shaggy's brother) had left the group before Carnival of Carnage was recorded, and Greez-E had been brought in to fill Kickchass's spot. Greez-E would leave as well after this album before The Ringmaster.
The other notable thing was contributions by local rapper Esham on the song "Chop Chop". Due to a subsequent falling out, this would be his last collaboration with ICP for almost 10 years, when he appeared on the album 'Bizzar'.
Despite (or perhaps because of) it's raw lyrics and unpolished feel, the album is considered a Juggalo classic.

[edit] Trivia
- The answering machine message at the end of The Stalker is from Violent J's former girlfriend's ex-boyfriend who was stalking her. [1]
- The cover was drawn by Shaggy 2 Dope.[2]
- The last song "Joke Ya Mind" was one of the first ICP songs to show a spiritual message. Such as some of the lyrics which scream; "I can breathe the magic mist, And exhale your every wish. Juggla jump from cloud to cloud. Ring them bells, ring them loud!" The track was also rewriten, recorded, and released on Jumpsteady's album The Chaos Theory.
