Forgotten Freshness is a rarities album by American hip hop group Insane Clown Posse. Released in 1995, the album features unreleased and "lost" tracks that are harder to find elsewhere.[2] This album features some samples that were not cleared for national distribution; therefore, this album was only released in the Detroit area and the mid-west and in limited copies. In 1998, the group released Forgotten Freshness Volumes 1 & 2. Many of the tracks on this album appeared again on those albums for wider distribution purposes.
Music and lyrics
The song "Southwest Strangla" was planned to be released on Shaggy 2 Dope's second solo album Shaggs The Clown, but the entire project was scrapped.[3] In the beginning of the song, a news brief is played about the actual looting of Northwest Airlines Flight 255 which crashed on I-94 in Detroit in 1987. With a change in beat and lyrics, the song "Hey, Vato" became "Wagon Wagon" found on the Ringmaster album.[3] Some lyrics from the song are also found on the song "Who Asked You", also on the Ringmaster.
The song "Fat Sweaty Betty" was originally intended for Riddle Box.[4] It was eventually given away as a single at the group's two "Mental Warp" shows.[3] "Ask You Somethin" is a cover of Clarence Carter's song "Strokin" .[5] The song "3 Rings" was later released on the album Riddle Box with slightly altered lyrics. "Dead Pumpkins" was the first Hallowicked single given away in 1994.[6]
