AllHipHop is reporting that Detroit based hip hop group Insane Clown Posse are being sued for $2 million after reportedly sampling songs without permission.
The suit was filed in Ohio by Entity Productions, a company claiming the group used Halloween-themed tracks without their permission for seven songs without permission of the music’s owner, The Midnight Syndicate. The Midnight Syndicate is apparently pissed and as such, seek $2.1 million in damages.
The albums included in the suit are Mirror Mirror (Twiztid) and Tales From the Lotus Pod (featuring Dark Lotus).
News of this lawsuit only continues what has become one of the stranger weeks in recent juggalo news (which really is saying something). Last week, a report from the FBI labeled the group’s fans (the juggalos) as a gang, claiming them to be a “concern to law enforcement”
We’ll keep you posted on this story if anything interesting develops. Something tells me the Clowns have the money, as much as that saddens me to acknowledge, so maybe they’ll just make it go away. Woop! Woop!

“Mirror Mirror” is an album BY Twiztid, not featuring. Research goes a long way in journalism. Just saying.
That info was sourced from the original story. Thank you for the correction
