The Green Book is a Twiztid album, which is 1:05:29 in length and was created in 2003. It has been described as their most personal album. It was released on July 1, 2003 on Psychopathic Records.

The eponymous book is said to actually be called "Ikitome Nekanavious" which acts as "a gateway to the distant realms of the mind" and was written by "the dark ones". Whether the authors of the book are related to the Dark Carnival of Insane Clown Posse's extended religious allegory the Joker's Cards is never stated. In the CD's intro, Jamie Madrox uses quotes from the film Evil Dead to describe the Green Book, hinting that it may actually be the Necronomicon; or the book of the dead featured in Lovecraftian lore and other media.

[edit] Miscellanea

  • This is the first time Blaze ya Dead Homie used the alias "Colton Grundy".
  • E-40 appeared on the album because Monoxide Child is a huge fan of his and gave E-40 props in an interview with Murder Dog. E-40's son is also a huge juggalo and asked his father to contribute to the Dark Carnival.
  • "Twiztid paid Bushwick $3000 to be on the song. In return for the $3000, Bushwick took a rap from another song he'd done before ("Phantomchuckopera") and just reused it here Twiztid did not know this at the time." quote from Juggalo News.com
  • In the album's booklet, Twiztid can be seen without facepaint and holding a Majik Records banner.
  • The copyright date on the back of the album is listed as 2002, despite the fact that the album did not come out until 2003.
  • According to Monoxide Child in an interview from the DVD on their "Man's Myth" album, hypeman Lil' Jon was supposed to be on a track, he didn't explain why he never appeared.
  • Twiztid also wanted Korn's lead singer Jonathan Davis to appear in the song "Darkness". However, due to schedule and time conflicts, they decided to the song without him.
  • Several monthes prior to the release, Twiztid.com released the original version of "The World Is Hell" without Eshams verse. There is two extra verses from both Madrox and Monoxide and a heavy rock-vibe to it.
