[edit] Music and lyrics

Forgotten Freshness Volume 4 contains two remixes by Mike E. Clark.[1] Clark had a falling out with Insane Clown Posse in 2000, and during the time the two did not work together the group released two studio albums.[2][3] After the two reconciled, Clark remixed one song from each album. "Homies" is a remix of the song by the same name from The Wraith: Shangri-La, and "C.P.K.'s" is a remix of the song by the same name from Hell's Pit.[1]

The songs "The People," "Mad House," "Staaaaaaaaale!!!," "Wicked Rappers Delight," and "Swallow This Nut" were recorded specifically for Forgotten Freshness Volume 4.[1] "Wicked Rappers Delight" is a horrorcore remake of The Sugarhill Gang song "Rapper's Delight". All of the skits from the album were outtakes from previous albums The Terror Wheel, Riddlebox, Tunnel of Love, The Wraith: Shangri-La, and Hell's Pit.[1] "Nobody Move" was recorded in the back of a tour bus during the "Hell's Pit Tour" in 2004.[1] The song is a remake of Eazy-E's song of the same name from his album Eazy-Duz-It.

"Intro" was originally intended to be the intro for Tunnel of Love.[1] "Dear ICP" was recorded in 1993 and was supposed to be released on The Ringmaster.[1] The songs "Feels So Right" and "Bodies Fly" were intended for Hell's Pit.[1] "Panties" was originally intended for Shaggy 2 Dope's solo album F.T.F.O., but the album was delayed.[1] The song was put on Forgotten Freshness Volume 4 as a sample of his album.[1] "If You Can't Beat 'Em Join 'Em" was recorded in 1992 and intended to be released on The Terror Wheel.[1] The beat was later used for the song "Skitsofrantic" from the same album.[1] The song "Yours Begins Tonight" was intended for The Wraith: Shangri-La.[1]
