Beverly Kills 50187 is a 1993 Horrorcore extended play by the Detroit Hip-Hop act Insane Clown Posse. This was their last release as a trio, and subsequent albums would reform ICP as a duo consisting of Violent J and 2 Dope (later ''Shaggy'' 2 Dope). On this EP, John Kickjazz was replaced by short-lived member Greez-E, who subsequently quit ICP, making "In the Haughhh!" the only ICP song he was ever featured on.Despite being named as a parody of a now-forgotten Soap Opera from The '90s that was once very popular but completely obscure to modern audiences, Beverly Kills 50187 is one of ICP's best-reviewed releases, owing to its sampledelic production style, which many see as an improvement over the Horror Synth-driven sound of their debut album, Carnival of Carnage.This album marked the start of a recurring event within ICP's discography where, inbetween the main "Joker's Cards", ICP would release several "sideshow" releases that were not a part ofnote what is now "the first deck" of ICP's "Joker's Card" saga. | |

Surprisingly Improved Sequel | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_1f9e2c21 | comment |
Surprisingly Improved Sequel: This has significantly better reviews than Carnival of Carnage, owing to ICP Growing the Beard, finding their footing more in a sampledelia-oriented production style,note which they would also move away from towards the end of the '90s, in favor of live Rap Rock instrumentation and is lyrically and vocally more aligned with the style ICP are known for, compared to their debut. Violent J uses the word Juggalo on record for the first time and the production uses more sound effects, giving the recording a vibe that's closer to the cartoon without visuals vibe ICP are known for than the Minimal Synth-driven Hip Hop sound of their debut. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Carnival of Carnage featured a sparse, Horror Synth-driven Hip-Hop sound with minimal Sampling, while this EP is more aligned sound wise with the sampledelia of other Detroit Hip Hop acts at the time, like Esham, Natas, Kid Rock,note on The Polyfuze Method House of Krazeesnote a group featuring two guys who later formed Twiztid and Eminem's single under the name Soul Intent. | |

Title Track | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_23b0d78 | comment |
Title Track: After the unlisted Hidden Track "Kiss the Clown", we get "Beverly Kills", an extensive parody of Beverly Hills, 90210 where Violent J and 2 Dope fall asleep watching the show and dream that they're students in the fictional high school where the show is set and murder every one of the show's characters, who they perceive as Rich Bitches. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: The title of the EP is a parody of what was, in 1993, an inescapably popular Teen Drama called Beverly Hills, 90210. The show has been off the air for ages and is probably not known to anyone under the age of 30, but even though you might not have any idea what the title is even referring to, please believe me that it was this super huge show in 1993 and everyone was talking about it back then. | |

Sampling | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: An especially interesting example occurs in the title track, where the love song Shaggy is playing on the stereo as he murders a woman by drowning her in a fish tank is actually a slowed down version of The Archies' hit Bubblegum single "Sugar, Sugar". "Chop! Chop!" flips a sample of Bernie Worrell's keyboard playing from Funkadelic's "Atmosphere" into Creepy Circus Music. | |

| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: "The Stalker". Violent J's real life girlfriend was actually being stalked by a creep who kept harassing her with unsolicited phone messages all the time. His actual messages appear as a hidden track after the end of the song. | |

Cop Killer | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_a3eea2ea | comment |
Cop Killer: The zip code of J and 2 Dope's Beverly Hills nightmare is a combination of 5-0, slang for law enforcement, and 187, which is the police code for murder. Ergo, 50187 means "Cop Killer". | |

Unintentional Period Piece | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_adda84d4 | comment |
Unintentional Period Piece: This recording's title and Title Track are references to Beverly Hills, 90210, which in 1993 was a massive hit that a lot of people either watched or knew about. Decades later, no one even remembers the TV show or any of the characters ICP are referencing, so while ICP feel that the recording musically and lyrically still hold up, the actual Beverly Hills, 90210 satire is incredibly dated. | |

| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_bb53d08 | comment |
Tear Jerker: "Joke Ya Mind" is about a homeless clown who prefers to sleep because he has a better life in his dreams than in the real world where he has no money, no girlfriend and the world hates him. He's woken up by a robber who shoots him because he has no money. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
| Beverly Kills 50187 (Music) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: On the Title Track, Violent J tries to convince Kelly to have sex with him before he kills her, then backs off because, in his words, "I'm not a raper". But he's holding her hostage and he's made it clear that he's still going to murder her even if she has sex with him, so the whole scenario kind of throws consent out of the window, because he didn't hide the fact that he was planning to murder her, and started his conversation with her by insulting her and saying that her vagina smells bad. She would have consented to having sex with him if he just used his charm on her instead of saying her private parts smelled and flat out told her he was going to murder her. He still could have murdered her afterwards, and had consensual sex with her, but he had to tell her her neden's smelly and he's going to kill her. | |

Retroactive Recognition: The "swing, swing, swing and chop, chop chop" hook from "Chop! Chop!" was sampled from Ice Cube's "Horny Lil' Devil". In 2012, Cube himself recorded a verse for a remix of ICP's song "Chris Benoit". | |

Hidden Track: "Kiss the Clown" is the first song on the EP, but is not listed on the artwork or indexed. "17 Dead" is followed by another Hidden Track called "Ink Town Posse". "The Stalker" has a Hidden phone message from a man who was really stalking Violent J's then-girlfriend at the time. There's an unnamed Hidden Interlude indexed at the start of "In the Haughhh!" After "Joke Ya Mind", the instrumental of the Hidden Track from "The Stalker" reprises. | |
