Dog Beats

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dog Beats is an early album by Insane Clown Posse released in 1991.

At the time ICP stood for "Inner City Posse", a much bigger group consisting of up to 50 people, though only 3-4 people put lyrics in on the album. Subsequent rereleases of the album have been edited to say Insane Clown Posse, although the approximately 150 remaining original copies are highly collectable.

[edit] Trivia

• The song "Wizard of the Hood" was taken from the tape Intelligence and Violence, originally titled "Wizard of Delray". That version is the first known recording of the song. It was re-recorded with different lyrics for the Dog Beats tapes/albums and then re-recorded again with different lyrics for the Insane Clown Posse debut album, the Carnival of Carnage, again titled "Wizard of the Hood". Finally it the name of Violent J's debut solo album Wizard of the Hood, which goes further into the story of J's trip to "Oz".

• The title track uses a looped sample from the George Clinton song "Atomic Dog" as its bassline and refrain.

• "Ghetto Zone" uses a sample from Rod Stewart's Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?
