George Clinton, Master P & Danny Brown
Let’s keep getting up all these live music photos from The Gathering of the Juggalos! Up next we have photos of the master of funk George Clinton, the master of P, Master P and the master of what-the-fuck-is-he-doing-on-this-bill-oh-wait-it-kinda-makes-sense Danny Brown.
George Clinton was at The Gathering of the Juggalos last year and it was awesome. He returned this year and I think it was even better. I sort of wish I shot more than just the first three songs because he has so many weird puppets and things on stage with him. It’s so weird to see a giant alien smoking a joint hanging out back stage next to Onyx. I think one of the strangest parts of seeing George Clinton at the Gathering is realizing that no one in the crowd cares about him and they are just waiting to see Dark Lotus headline. I bet 90% of the people reading this have never even heard of Dark Lotus. The whole thing is very surreal.
You would think that Master P has enough money that he wouldn’t need to be playing the Gathering of the Juggalos but clearly he knows that juggalos are a hungry audience and playing to them is a good idea. Juggalos on the other hand were not really psyched about Master P and his No Limit soldiers. They threw more shit at him than anyone else but Master P took it like a champ. They threw so much shit back at the Juggalos including a ton of $1 bills and a hundred or so t-shirts. People seemed psyched about this but they seemed more psyched to throw bottles of water at Master P’s head. Although he was older and fatter than I remember, Master P still brought it and had a ton of energy and the same crazy dance moves. He made all the juggalos say uhhh nah nah nah nah.

When I saw Danny Brown on the Gathering of the Juggalos I was like “What the fuck?” Here is this underground rapper on Fool’s Gold Records playing the Insane Clown Posse’s music festival. I don’t really know Danny but I still feel like he is a homie because aside from being on Fool’s Gold he tours with my dude Childish Gambino and I have photographed him opening for Das Racist and I had photos of him published in Frank 151. So it’s weird to see someone like that play the Gathering, but then I thought about it. Danny is from Detroit so you know he is really familiar with ICP. He is one of the most fucked up rappers in the game so juggalos will at least think he’s funny. Plus he is a weird ass dude and juggalos love that shit. ICP totally hyped him and he went over surprisingly well. There were a pocket of juggalos who knew every word and the ones that didn’t seemed to be really into it. Danny ended up hanging out all day and could be seen driving with ICP on golf carts all over the place. It was pretty funny.

The Gathering of the Juggalos is a yearly music festival in Cave In Rock, IL created by the Insane Clown Posse that I have now photographed three times. Every year it produces some of the best photos I have ever taken. To see my complete GOTJ archives please click here.
