---

---

*The executors of Michael Jackson’s Estate filed legal documents today outlining the various steps taken to keep the King of Pop business from going bankrupt. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jackson owed millions at the time of his death. The Jackson family was also on the verge of losing its home in Encino. [...]
Was the band ICP (Insane Clown Posse) a different band before they started ICP?

---

---

If so, who were they? What was their band called?
My freind seems to think they were sublime, but I told her that's impossible because the lead singer is dead...but were they some other band that was well known?

As far as I know they were called the Inner City Posse before they became the Clowns. I've heard some of their older stuff and it sounds WAAAAAY different. Hard to find though.

Music Producers Don’t Get Enough Credit!

It’s Not Fair!

Let me start off by expressing a pet peeve of mine. I understand that this is my burden though, because it’s something that’s probably not going to change any time soon. I’m not going to name any specific artists, because I don’t want to single anyone out. This is a problem that is rampant amongst all genres of music, so it would be simply mean spirited for me to call out artists who don’t produce their own music. Whether it be rock, rap, country, or whatever, every style of music has an example of this problem.

Taking Credit for Other People’s Work

Of course, the vocal artist is part of the creative process. Just like it’s unfair for an artist to receive all of the credit, it’s would unfair for them to receive none of it as well. Don’t misunderstand me and say that the person on the cover has nothing to do with the magic of the music. I’m not saying that at all. It takes talent to take an instrumental and turn it into a catchy song. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. If the song wasn’t even written by the singer, then that’s a whole different story altogether, but I digress.

What the problem here is that the common person attributes almost all of the credit for the creation of a song to the person on the album cover, and that sucks. When you talk to a friend about a song that you like, you usually refer to it as “song title” by “artist’s name”, don’t you? How often do you bother to look in the liner notes and see who produced the song? Now maybe some of you do. I know I do. And I know a lot of people who do as well. But I know a lot more people that simply don’t care.

Beware of Label Nazis!

You may ask “What Does A Music Producer Do?”. It’s not a simple, cut and dry question. When I use the term, I’m referring to a role that sometimes is filled by two people, a producer and an engineer. Oftentimes, the term “producer” will be used to describe a person who did very little work. Despite the fact that there’s little general consensus about what a producer is supposed to use, I like to refer to the person who created a majority of the instrumental and/or mix to be the producer. Note that a lot of people will refuse to think this way, and will insist that the role I’m referring to is the engineer. To those people, I will simply point out that if you choose to argue about this, you are missing the point. It’s not about getting the labels of the crew absolutely correct. It’s about stepping back and realize that there’s people behind the mixing board that are helping to make the music and aren’t getting the recognition that they deserve.

The Impact of A Good Producer

For artists who work exclusively with one producer, this producer is DIRECTLY responsible for creating their signature sound. And if someone happens to be a fan of that particular sound, then they owe their thanks to that producer for bringing that entertainment into their life. If an artist happens to work with multiple producers, then that is a good indication of whether or not you will like their new music. You can simple research who produced their new album, and if your favorite producer happens to be on the new album, then you are more likely to like it.

The movement to get more recognition for music producers isn’t an impossible goal. If Alfred Hitchcock can bring attention to the role of a movie director, and pave the way for directors such as James Cameron, David Fincher, Darren Aronofsky, and Kevin Smith to have their own fan followings, then there is no reason why music producers can’t have more recognition, and their own fanbases.

What Can You Do?

What I want you, the reader to do, is to grab a few of your favorite albums, and read the liner notes. Observe who produced some of your favorite tracks, and google their names. Chances are good that they have a website, and a list of albums that they have produced. Make a shopping list for some of the other albums that they have produced. Better yet, download the tracks, and spread the word that the reason that you like those songs is because of the producer. Give back to the producer and support their music!

-Trey Baird

Super-producer Stir Crazy has stamped his imprint on the music scene since 2003. His production has helped create career defining hits for artists such as Potluck, D12, Bizzy Bone, Toxsick, Kamal, Tre Pound, SOL, T.O.N.Ez, The Insane Clown Posse and many others. Respected beyond the genres of hip hop and urban music, Stir Crazy, has also been sought by superstars and underground legends whose music needs a new edge.

Born Jesse Elliot in Detroit, Michigan on December 23, 1986, Stir Crazy has had many reincarnations-- from a partnership in the label Super Phat Productions, and involved in a super group which consists of Dood Computer (of Doom Fist) and Himself.

Chop Shops smash hit single ‘Heart”, and Kamal’s debut cd Certified produced by Stir Crazy, introduced a unique style that defined the new wave of music in the years too come. Hip Hop and R&B with crazy effects held together by complex drum patterns. Death B4 Dishoner a group consisting of Lokey, T.O.N.Ez and Stir Crazy proved Stir Crazy could step out his normal boundaries and do heavy metal and rock production.

Stir Crazy’s sound is unexplainable, and meant to be listened to, not read….

His partnership with fellow producer Tre Pound, has spanned the untouchable label Super Phat Productions, and there trademark sound has spawned numerous imitators in the Detroit area. Still known as the originators of the new wave of Detroit sound when it comes to hip hop and R&B music.

Along the way he built an impressive arsenal of studio equipment, and worked/works at many studios in Detroit where he does most of his production. He regularly travels between his home studio and other studios around the area and other states working on many projects.

Stir Crazy’s genre breaking has changed music today and he takes pride in his success at staying ahead of the game with his experimentation and originality. Hard working and confident, his goal is to always stay ten steps ahead of the competitors while making fans not only hear but ‘feel’ music.

One thing Stir Crazy has on his side, other than incredible talent, is visibility. He has been featured on numerous websites as well as print.. He has been seen on several DVD’s, and he has a role in a film entitled Zombie Prom.. Then there are his numerous other appearances and accomplishments. He was named producer of the year by Juggalo News by voting of fans. The acknowledgment came as a surprise, he received a message that he was going to be featured, and there he was, without having to submit anything about himself. The word is out!

“You can accomplish any dream or goals in life, with hard work and confidence” says the dedicated Stir Crazy. He is a innovator of sound which continues to set new standards, while always expanding his musical palette.
