On tonight's episode of Law and Order, Criminal Intent, after getting the report on the statements from murder suspects from his two detectives, Capt. James Deakins says:

Referring to the 2 murder suspects as “clowns”.

Music: Juvenile – 400 Degreez
In the rap album, 400 Degreez by Juvenile, the rapper, Juvenile, released a single called, “HA”.
Juvenile really took a step away from the norm by having a music video sans beautiful models and actors and flashy cars, choosing to keep it real with actual people from his neighborhood.
This particular song was also notable because of it's unique lyrical styling. EVERY line in the lyrics ends with the word, HA. It sounds weird, but Juvenile really pulled it off, making what may turn out to be an interesting mark in poetry history.
The radio edited version of HA had these great anti-clown lyrics (source: Leo's Lyrics Database):
Some of your partners dope fiends ha
You don't want to really mess with them clowns ha
You come up with them clowns ha
You stuck with them clowns ha
You can get the 400 Degreez album by Juvenile here. You may remember Juvenile from hit singles like “Back that Thing Up” and the single that created the slang term of the same name: “Bling Bling”.
Music: Hey Now – The Last Poets Music from the Right On Soundtrack
The Last Poets (Right On! 1970 Film)
This album is a jazzoetry (jazz and poetry fusion) classic that can be seen as the roots of modern day rap and hip hop music.
You can hear samples from this album in classic hip hop records from 1985 and on.
On track called, “Hey Now“, has a particularly poignant anti-clown lyric as the second line to the poem (yes, even back in the 70's):
“Hey Now! Frenchman's coming down, HUH.
Hey Now! Fuckin' up the clowns, HUH.
Check out the rippin' tar,
Jackin' up the laws NOW.”
Release Date: 19 September, 1991

TV Show: 2001 MTV2 How to Live Large Special
I caught a rerun episode of an MTV2 show called “How to Live Large” (first aired on 5/5/2001) that featured a bunch of rappers talking about how to be a “player” and a “pimp”.
During the middle of the show, the narrartor says (when talking about “player haters”):
“And the hate don't discriminate. Clowns will hate on anyone that's doing it, male or female”.
Even media mogul MTV writes scripts that talk about clowns in a negative light.
