1000 Clowns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
1000 Clowns was a four person rap group most famous for singing the songs "(Not The) Greatest Rapper", which appeared on the Good Burger soundtrack, and "Kitty Kat Max", their debut single, released in late 1997.
Based in Los Angeles, 1000 Clowns came to the attention of Elektra Records during one of their rare live performances at the Viper Room. Within months of being discovered, they began working on Freelance Bubblehead.
The band is named after the '60s film, "A Thousand Clowns,". According to the band's founder, Kevi,
"When I first moved out here, everybody was like, 'I'm a producer. I'll put you in my movie.' Or 'I'm a director, I'm an executive, I control the whole industry.' All these people were actually assistants or whatever. They all had fancy business cards. I was so inundated with these cards that I had one made that said 'Professional Shepherd.' I would tell people,' I have my own flock, but I freelance.' Don't get me wrong, though. I love it out here. But it really is the city of 1000 Clowns."
