Product Description 2 Dope solo. Jumpin' out in front, and all 'cross the mixing board with this one. It's fluid flows and even beats, then staccato screamin' or hard headbangin'. He's an O.G. gangbanger, spittin' street stories, keepin' it all kinds of real. He's the old-school angry Shaggs, a smooth smartass, and the wry, ruthless, rapper the fans have grown to love. He's funny, f**ked-up, and fresh, and puttin' it down the way you love, a way you ain't ever heard it before. Believe that. Musically he's hittin' from all directions, with straight-up classic samplin', Klub cuts, and all-original beats, with a lick of guitars in the mix. It'll have your hands in the air, quick like a stick-up, and they'll bounce, they'll wave, even throw up some devil horns. It's cruel, it's ruthless, and it's smooth like Zen Buddha. Shaggy's all over this one, with his homies in tow, featuring guest shots by the Psychopathic family. He's one-half of the Insane Clown Posse, droppin' his first solo album in 10 years, but that don't quite cover it... About the Artist The facepaint gets you first, but the real threats in his eyes. It's the confidence of a dozen years runnin the underground. It's the cockiness of a young punk who never had to settle down. Its character of a true individual, dominating a musical niche he helped create. Its the class of a man who knows where hes at. Its all 2 Dope, now step back or you might get hurt. This is a guy who knows what hes doing. His skills are so honed, his delivery so natural, that every rhyme feels reflexive, every verse sounds unrehearsed, yet his words still pump like bullets from an angry gun. And you wont miss him on stagewhether hes lobbing pop bottles, leaping from ledges, or whipping the pit into a sloppy froth, the fans and the spotlight are there for 2 Dope. Hes the King of the Crowd, dont make him show you his crown. Shaggy 2 Dope is a hip-hop anomaly. Hes ruthless but smooth, outlandish but accessible. A big baller and a scrub thug. Hes a painted madman, and an iced-out pimp. Hes an Insane Clown with a unique sound, and now hes got a full-length album thats all Shaggy, all solo, and all shameless. Prepare yourselves. Joey "Shaggy 2 Dope" Utsler entered the music industry with a bang. Literally, the sound of gunfire erupting from the gang turf of Southwest Detroit. His first album was an EP self produced in Detroit with his brother and a long-time friend, Joe "Violent J" Bruce. They rapped under their gang name, The Inner City Posse, and the now notorious EP was called Dog Beats. Shaggy was just a teenager then, and now, fifteen years later, his first album is a collectible sought by legions of fans. F.T.F.O. comes at the cusp of a career loaded with amazing conquests and accomplishments. With his rap partner, Violent J, he co-wrote the seminal, phenomenal "Jokers Card Saga," a decade-spanning, six-album epic which has left its platinum mark on the music world. Even the projects he worked on between Jokers Cards have brought him success, with a collection of rarities certified gold, and a two-album release holding two spots on the Billboard Top 20 simultaneously. Like the chains around his neck, everything he touches turns to bling. He starred in a movie, the DVD went gold. He wanted to wrestle; he worked with every major federation. He wanted to be in a video game; play Backyard Wrestling and hell whip your ass. He wanted to be on the radio; now he gets personal calls from Howard Stern. He wanted to party; come see him host a four day music festival, known as the Annual Gathering of the Juggalos. He put his name on a T-shirt; now he co-owns one of the largest music merchandising empires in the world, with clothes and collectibles in hundreds of store nationwide. He even loves his mother. Hows that for diverse?

all bow down
ever since i first became a juggalo shaggy just stood out to me. he said less but it seemed to mean more. i like both the members of icp but 2 dope's name describes him soo well. in my opinion shaggy is the better of the two artist, he's a better mc and as far as i know the only dj of the two. he's deserved to be equal to jay but allways seemed to have lees involvement and now shaggy has showed the world what he's really capable of. he totally dominated on this, especially in the song meltdown. meltdown had one of my favorite base lines out of any song and the lyrics are straight from where the song describes.

shaggs is all you need
i like shaggys voice way better than jay's, just sound more gangster for some reason. this album is awesome, takes me back to the 80's when rap was fun and didnt take itself too seriously. i dont instantly like any new icp album i listen to but this one grabbed me with it's catchy songs and style. totally recommend this to anyone who likes rap and fat a$$ beats.

SHAGGY PULLS IT OFF...AGAIN!
What can I say about this CD, it is absolutely incredible and the songs are so well written. Shaggy is so full of talent and he deserves much more respect than he is getting now. This cd is the only one that I own that can put me to sleep every night and just so catchy and full of talent.

f.t.f.o.
I wasn't sure about buying this album but I'm glad I did. Shaggy did a great job on this solo project and it does have a different feel to it then the ICP Albums but thats not a bad thing. If your sitting on the fence on this on just buy it you need to have it in your collection anyways and if not then the tittle of the album says it all fu#$ the fu#$ off!

Too Dope!
Shaggs doing that Voodoo he do, this one is just about perfect. If you're reading this and really if you even know what this album is, just buy it, you won't regret it. What else are you gonna spend your money on? Whether you take my advice or not, F.T.F.O.M.F!

I loved almost every song on this mp3 album
I loved almost every song on this mp3 album! It's been awhile since I could say that. Been down with ICP since 94 or 95 and it's great to see they are still killing it together and solo.

2 Dope scores with an LP that's TOO DOPE!
Finally releases his first solo LP, and it does not disappoint! 2 Dope delivers beats and raps that have a very oldschool feel to them. Even non-Juggalos would like this release.
