Need some Music brains to help meh

OK so ?I make music with me and a buddy of mind. We have some songs, but most are on paper. We just don't want are first CD to just be a title, with a bunch of songs smacked on it. We want some sort of theme, were the songs tie into each other and the over all theme of the CD. That sells ;). We are followers of my favorite band, the insane clown posse. Only difference is we are two jesters instead of clowns. (We hope to put together a good hardy CD, a nice cover and shit and send in the CD, because they own their own record company were their are like 5-6 other people on it and they all go on tour together and are featured in each others Cd's and are all rich as shit, yet they sing about the slums, and the scrubs of life.). Anyway, They had six Cd's put out over time called the six jokers cards. They are jokers cards, and each one told a story, and had secret messages recorded backwords, and they are one big collectors set. See those are the kind of marketing skills that sell a product, "Collect all six, each tell a story, watch out for the reverse talking!". Also one of the jokers cards Was the Amazing Jeckle Brothers, they were brothers. So they sold the same CD with different covers. One was Jake jeckle, and the other was jack jeckle, keep in mind it was the same exact CD, but two different covers of the jokers so it sold twice as much because they wanted to collect them both. Plus the six joker card was a 2 part set released at different times, one showing the good side of that joker card and the other showing the bad or "hell" side of life. That sold tons more and went platinum. See what I'm saying? Those are extremely smart ideas, for both marketing and for their music in general. Each of the Cd's had a big story or point to be made that was explained over the whole CD. I want to come up with a theme for a CD and just build on it. Umm, we do rap, but we are "Acid Rap" aka: extremely adult content. One song could be about the carnival, and representing the clown, another could be a whole song that talks about me going around place to place robbing people, killing, swearing, drugs. Lol. Its not real, obviously, but still cool.

OK here's some info about us
Band name: Troubled Youth
Members: -Bloody D - Mike (pronounced "Bloody Dee")
              -Onik - Me (pronounced "Oh Nick")
Genre- Rap/AcidRap/HipHop
Info- We are jesters from P-Town (song called "P-Town Boogie). Ive been working on marketing skills alot, like way to make people want to listen. If they don't have a reason or at least and intrest to listen then you wont sell. The initials for Troubled Youth are T.Y, hrrrmmm, i already have a sign for us. You know how gangs have signs you make with your hands, ya know… ("Throw ya Gang Signs Up In Tha Air") Well try this. Take your pointing finger on your right hand and then make a peace sign with your left hand. Then put the pointer and put it on the peace sign finer closest to you. IT forms a t, and a y. Its very nice. We have Our own clown make up set up made. We've got a concert planned out, and a song made up about it Called "Jester Days" it would be a tour, annually (if we get big) that goes across the u.s Singing some of our hits. And yes I needed to write a song about it. The jesta days.

So anyway, I can always post pictures of CD cover ideas Ive had and stuff like that. But basically I just want to build something up from nothing without actually ripping off or stealing any of the things icps made. Like juggalo, the frantic drinking of faygo and some of the other great things. So Help me out people. If i get a basis for a CD, and a small story line or something, i can start recording songs, building a story line, adding small skits in between tracks, making a cool intro and shit. Any help would be much obliged.
