What up, Juggalos and Juggalettes? The wait is fuckin' over, that's what's up! It's Tuesday, August 31, and if you're at this site, I'll bet you know what that date means. Finally, after all the waiting, through 6 Joker's Cards, through 12 long years of giving the Juggalos everything they've got, it's time for the final Joker's Card from the Insane Clown Posse--it's time for The Wraith: Hell's Pit! We wanna give a shout out and much clown love to all the Juggalo sites that have been reppin' the flavor over the last month, and to all the Juggalos that have had our backs, that waited until today to go out and get the album old school style, one last fucking time... This is the wicked shit you've been waiting for. And you better believe it's worth the wait.

You really think ICP is gonna be holding anything back? No fucking way! It's the last Joker's Card, EVER, and there ain't no reason to pull any punches now. That's why this is the wickedest album you've ever heard, 17 tracks that could only come straight outta Hell's Pit itself, with two different bonus DVDs for you to choose from! That's why Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope flew out to L.A. to film the world's first ever mini-movie in high-definition 3D just to put on a bonus DVD for all the Juggalos, and why there's an entire live concert by ICP from the Wicked Wonka Tour available on the other DVD! And there's still more flavor crammed into whichever version of Hell's Pit you pick up, that you're just gonna have to see to believe.

The time for talking is over. It's time for us to deliver on what we say. It's time for all the secrets to finally be revealed to the world.

It's time for Hell's Pit.

We've got some great news to report here... We've just received word that Joey (Shaggy 2 Dope) of the Insane Clown Posse has just completed his surgery. The operation was 100% successful, and Joey is doing well. We just wanted to thank all the Juggalos that took the time to write in and send their wishes and support.

What up, Juggalos and Juggalettes? Web Crack Willy here with a very, very, very serious update. Today, at Psychopathic Records, we've received some very tragic news. Shaggy 2 Dope came to the office today, straight from his doctor with terrible news: His's 2nd and 3rd discs are fractured and crushed, and he needs emergency surgery in his neck. If he doesn't get this surgery, he could be facing partial paralysis in his body.

As a consequence, tomorrow Friday, August 27, Shaggy 2 Dope is going into the hospital for immediate disc replacement. They're gonna be isolating the crushed discs, removing them, and replacing the discs with new discs from a deceased donor.

The thoughts and prayers of all Psychopathic Records artists and employees are with Shaggy and we're praying for a successful operation with a swift and immediate recovery. The doctor tells him if all goes well, he should be fine in a month... just in time to hit the road on tour. Those Juggalos and Juggalettes out there who want to wish Shaggy well can click here to send him a message. We'll be printing them all out and taking them to the hospital. Keep checking back here at InsaneClownPosse.com over the next few days, and we'll definitely be keeping you informed of his condition.

What up, Juggalos? On behalf of ICP and Psychopathic Records, we just wanna thank all the 'los and 'lettes out there for getting our back. A couple of weeks ago, we put out a request for everyone to take it back to the old school one last time and to wait for Hell's Pit to drop, so you could get all the flavor that Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope packed into the final Joker's Card. Well, we got a fuckin' overwhelming response from everyone out there. The Juggalo sites are throwing their support, we've been getting emails from Juggalos, people pledging left and right that they're gonna wait for August 31 to see Hell's Pit... Fuck, there's just one week left! In fact, you can pick that shit up right now at HatchetGear.com! But no matter what, next Tuesday, the wait's finally gonna be over, and all your patience is gonna pay off. So again, thanks from ICP and us here at Psychopathic. It ain't much longer now... and check back here at ICP.com on Friday, because we've got another wig-flippin' bomb to drop before next week!

Are the weeks flying by or what? What up Juggalos, we can't fucking believe it, but we're less than two weeks away from the 6th Joker's Card--Hell's Pit. We got some more details about the two versions of Hell's Pit that will debut on August 31. More specifically, we've got details on the DVDs, and why each version is dope in its own right!

The first version of Hell's Pit features the Insane Clown Posse starring in the all-new mini-movie, Bowling Balls! This dope-ass movie is 25 minutes long, and it's completely shot in high-definition 3D--the first of its kind in the industry ever! You'll get the DVD with both 2D (normal version) and 3D versions of the movie and a pair of 3D glasses when you pick up this version of Hell's Pit. I could describe how fresh the movie looks, but the only way you're gonna understand is to see it for yourself.

Or maybe concert footage is your thing. If that's the case, check out the second version of Hell's Pit, 'cause that's got a DVD featuring ICP live in concert at the Wicked Wonka Tour! You'll be able to watch the entire show, from start to end, filmed at the historic Red Rocks Ampitheatre in Denver, Colorado! And if that ain't enough, there's even more on the DVD besides the concert. That's right, bitch, you'll also get the video for "Real Underground," the final track off the album (over 13 minutes long), on the DVD too!

Either way, though, you're gonna have your wig seriously flipped by what's coming. Pick one version or the other, and you're gonna be one happy Juggalo. Fuck, grab both, and you can get both DVDs, and have a copy for home and another for your ride! These DVDs are fresh for real, and you ain't gonna wanna sleep on either one! You'll have your chance to check out the flavor once August 31 rolls around and the wicked shit drops on this byatch!

Those of you looking closely will notice a show in Detroit on October 31, which is a little thing we here at Psychopathic Records like to call Hallowicked.

Speaking of Hell's Pit, we ain't gonna give away too many secrets too soon, but the packaging has so much extra flavor that we had to put a slipcase on it to keep it all from falling out! And with that said, we want to make it clear that this is the actual slipcase cover:

It's less than a month before Hell's Pit is finally released, but we want to start ushering in the wicked era right now. Come on, ninjas, we're talking about the motherfuckin' 6th Jokers Card! The end of all eras. The greatest story ever told in music, twelve fuckin' years in the making. And it's all going down at the end of this month. We want to get as many Juggalo sites involved as possible to make sure the world knows what's coming once August 31 rolls around. Now, we know that some of the sites out there have already made changes in anticipation of Hell's Pit and that all the Juggalo sites are mad down to help freak the Sixth. But we here at Psychopathic Records thought we'd throw in a little something to sweeten the pot. We're holding a contest, starting now and running through September 7, for any webmaster who's down to twerk their site to promote Hell's Pit. So now you're thinking, "If it's a contest, what are the prizes?" Well, here they are:

1st Prize - 20 pack of tickets to this year's Hallowicked show in Detroit
2nd Prize - 10 pack of tickets to this year's Hallowicked show in Detroit
3rd Prize - 5 pack of tickets to this year's Hallowicked show in Detroit

The winning sites will, of course, be announced here on insaneclownposse.com. Instructions on how to submit your site for judging can be found here. So if you want your site to get some serious heat, there ain't a better way to get the fire going than Hell's Pit!

Hey, we've got an apology to send out to all the Juggalos in the U.K. that were going to see ICP perform at this year's Bulldog Bash. For those of you who saw ICP wrestle on Sunday at the Gathering and were wondering, "How bad was Shaggy 2 Dope really hurt?", here's your answer--pretty damn bad. He made it through the rest of Sunday night at the Gathering, but he was in a world of pain after he got back. Shaggy went up to the hospital today, and the diagnosis was that he has two herniated discs in his neck. He's been advised by his doctor to take it easy over the next month, so he can try and let his injuries heal themselves.

Unfortunately, this means that ICP has had to cancel their appearance at the Bulldog Bash to give Shaggy some time to rest and heal up. Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope send their apologies to all the Juggalos in the United Kingdom. Don't worry that y'all over there aren't on the guys' minds, though, or that they're forgetting about ya... ICP is still planning on returning both to the U.K. and to Europe as part of the Hell's Pit tour that's starting later this year!
