Shaggy 2 Dope and The violent J of the iconic underground hip-hop duo Crazy Clown Pose appeared on the podcast Drink Champshosted by Noreagaalongside DJ EFN. Shaggy described their past experience where their fan base, known as Juggalos, was once included in the FBI's National Gang Assessment. The news that their Juggalo title was recognized and labeled as a notorious gang along with other street and prison gangs was initially received as “cool”. However, this classification has led to their merchandise being pulled from retail and commercial outlets due to the implications of being seen as gang-related. Their live shows were sometimes treated like “gang gatherings”. Anyone wearing their merchandise or their iconic Hatchet Man logo was targeted as a gang member.
The interview is set to be released on Thursday, July 19. Click below for Uprisings YouTube link to watch the Drink Champs Podcast.
