The Great Milenko is the fourth of six "Joker's Cards" albums released by
the Insane Clown Posse. The Great Milenko is a necromancer and master of
illusions, who tempts people into following a path of hedonism and evil
for material comforts. Released in 1997, this is perhaps Insane Clown Posse's
most popular album; it features some of ICP's most famous tracks, including
"Hokus Pokus", "Boogie Woogie Wu", "The Neden Game", "Down With The Clown",
and "Halls of Illusions".
The album was recorded at the studios of Hollywood Records, a Disney-owned
record label. After recording was completed, a board of Disney representatives
threatened to halt the release of the album unless some significant changes
were made to its material. Fearing that their major-label debut would never
see the light of day, ICP obliged and was forced to remove three whole songs
from the album, and alter the content of others, as requested by Disney.
However, just hours after the album's initial release, it was unexpectedly
pulled from the shelves, ICP's upcoming tour was cancelled, and they were
dropped from the record label. It was later revealed that Disney had received
much criticism from certain religious organizations, and in fear of tarnishing
their reputation, forced Hollywood Records to drop the act.
A media frenzy soon followed, fueled by ICP appearances on MTV expressing
outrage over their plight by Hollywood Records. Originally unwilling to nullify
ICP's recording contract and relinquish ownership of the album, a deal was
eventually reached with Island Records (which ironically was owned at the time
by Hollywood's then-distributor PolyGram), who promptly rereleased the album
in uncut form. In the end, the controversy turned out to be a blessing in d
isguise for ICP; the high-profile debacle had created huge public interest in
the group and their music. The album went on to become certified platinum.

The Message
-------------------------------------------------------------------
From deep within the Netherworld of shadow walkers comes yet another exhibit
of the Dark Carnival. He is the master of the art of using magic without magic.
He is a Necromaster... the craft of using magic through the dead. Dead meaning
both physically and mentally. This spectacle shall be witnessed only by those
who are meant to see it. Look deep inside of your soul and ask yourself... Do
you hold a ticket to witness the show? The answer lies within yourself. He is
the fourth to rise. He feeds upon one's own greed. He is powered by one's own
jealousy, lust, and temptation. To envision yourself with something that rightfully
does not belong to you... that is the illusion cast by him. To act upon this
vision and seek it out at the expense of another... that is the magic cast by
him. Continuous dreamers of profit at the cost of another are pledged and
haunted by his wizardry. Others are content and satisfied with what they can
achieve by themselves and have not the urge to tamper with another's well being
for quick gain. They see him only as a hoax and see no illusions or magic by
he. It is simple... He is you. His illusions are your evil thoughts. Your evil
acts are his magic - yesterday, now and forever. You and he are the fourth to
rise... You and he are the master of Necromancy... You the dead and him the magic.
Together, you and he are The Great Milenko.
