Korn Won't Get Naughty By Nature After All Korn's Jonathan Davis It looks like Korn and Naughty By Nature won't be hooking up after all. A spokesperson for the hip-hop outfit told MTV News that, despite previous assertions, the group won't be able to work with Korn on a track for its upcoming album, "9-Naughty-Nine: Nature's Fury," due out on March 2. Last week, the Naughty By Nature camp told the MTV Radio Network that the metal mavericks would turn up on a song called "Radio" on the album, however, Korn's management balked at the report soon after it ran. The Naughty By Nature camp then noted that they had hoped to make the collaboration happen, but that a scheduling conflict had sunk the project

INSANE CLOWN POSSE In the summer of 1996, the national music press uncovered a scandal involving sex, violence, and, yes, clowns. The INSANE CLOWN POSSE, a dreadlocked, make-up-wearing white rap duo from Detroit, had just released their major-label debut, The Great Milenko, on the Disney-owned Hollywood label, only to have it recalled by Disney a mere six hours after it had been shipped to stores. Although Hollywood had put its seal of approval on the album in March, ICP's "inappropriate lyrics" and lack of "family values" had given the company the last-minute jitters. (The CD was later released by Island.) . As for lyrics, ICP's are intentionally obnoxious and sophomoric, and terrible. "Bitch boy you can suck my sack/And after that you can kiss my ass crack," is a representative sample from the tune "F**k Off." The Shocumentary video, however, offers a fascinating look at a group who have fed off spectacle and controversy. ICP's Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope may come across as two incompetent rejects from a pro-wrestling tryout, yet they've created and marketed a concept that couldn't be better suited to the Beavis and Butt-head generation. Indeed, the video's real stars are the fans, from the frumpy housewife who inks letters in blood describing her Insane sexual fantasies with the Clowns to the kids who have marked off space on their pimply backs for forthcoming ICP tattoos. Hundreds of these fanatics line up for an ICP concert, which consists mainly of the group lamely rapping to DAT tracks (i.e., no DJ, no band) and dousing the crowd with hundreds of liters of Faygo, a low-budget Michigan-made soda. If these fans have even a passing sense of the irony implicit in thousands of white suburban teens attending a concert by two white rappers in blackface in America's largest city with a black majority (Detroit), they aren't letting on. The fans, however, do seem to understand that ICP are proud to be "the most hated band in the world." To quote Violent J's philosophical musings on the nature of rock and roll, "You gotta hate it for it to be good." You may quibble with J's definition of "good," but it's hard to dispute the point that his strategy -- if you can call it that -- has helped turn a silly little joke into a multifaceted big-label career.
