Insane Clown Posse, JEFF the Brotherhood and Jack White-Leck Mich Im Arsch review

written by John M. Ellison IV

Insane Clown Posse, Jack White and JEFF the Brotherhood walk into a bar…well, studio and somebody brought in the sheet music for Mozart’s “Leck Mich im Arsch” or “Lick me in the Ass” in English. Actually, I thought it was a joke. Not in the fact Insane Clown Posse has anything to do with the project but in the fact that up until recently it was a known that Jack White hated rap music.
I begrudgingly admit that I forgot this piece by Mozart’s existed and when I heard about it back then I thought that was a hoax. I mean, c’mon! Mozart wrote a piece about licking ass? I couldn’t fathom the idea back then. But on the other hand, why am I not surprised? I mean, he’s Austrian. Interesting enough, this isn’t the first song that featured Insane Clown Posse and a classical sample. The Psychopathic Records supergroup “Dark Lotus” that’s current lineup consists of Insane Clown Posse, Blaze ya Dead Homie and Twiztid. The group had a song called “Pass the Axe” that sampled Beethoven’s Symphony #9. At this rate, I wonder what they would do with Stravinsky.
In this case, you have Jack White playing the role of producer, Nashville sibling rock duo JEFF the Brotherhood on drums and guitar and Insane Clown Posse rapping. Drum wise, Jamin’s playing a steady beat that’s complimentary and not overplaying. Jake’s guitar tone simulates the timbre of an organ that’s reminiscent of the White Stripes “Blue Orchid.” Just for another laugh, Jamin and Jake’s last name are Orrall. Rap wise, you have Violent J using his shouting, barking kind of out of tune flow which he uses for more rap-metal based tracks. Although, it can be considered grating and amateurish to listenersthat are unaccustomed to it, it complements the aggression of the instrumentation of JEFF the Brotherhood. Shaggy who I feel is the stronger rapper of the duo, has a similar but more fluid flow though.

Overall if you’re not up to listening to a rap-rock ode to anilingus…stay clear from this or you’ll end up with the “you ate ass” face.
