Line 1:

[[Insane Poetry]] was a rap group from the West Coast that pioneered [[Horrorcore]]. Its founder, Cyco, continues to perform under the Insane Poetry name.
Their debut, ''Grim Reality'', was acclaimed for its approach to the style, which was purely horrorcore in its first half, which focused on horror movie-inspired fantasies, and then switched to a fusion of horrorcore and [[Political Rap]] in the second half, which was largely based around more realistic stories. The group members were Cyco, Shakespeare the One-Man Riot, Em-Dee and DJ Streak.
Line 6:
Insane Poetry has made sporadic appearances over the years. Cyco dropped guest verses for [[Vanilla Ice]]'s ''Hard To Swallow'' and ''Bi-Polar'' in 1998 and 2002; in the latter case V-Ice actually [[Covered Up]] Insane Poetry's own song "O.K.S."; Insane Poetry's album ''Faith in Chaos'' contained a version in which Cyco performed both verses, while Ice's ''Bi-Polar'' album featured Ice rapping the first verse. Beginning in 2008, Cyco, the only remaining member of the group, has been teaming up with producer Sutter Kain, who brought a [[Death Metal]]-based sound reminiscent of [[Necro]].
