Idolator

Being between the ages of 28 and 33 I remember this song fondly, and of course, lost it years ago when I needed beer money for a friday night. I'm so glad to have it back.

Ah yes. The album that convinced Evan Seinfeld that he and the rest of Biohazard ever mattered.

"Hi. I took part in a not one but TWO God-awful collaborations with Onyx. That's why I can be such a prick to Ted Nugent. Oh, and I married a porn star."

Thing is, it hardly even matters that it's De La *WITH* the Fannies... I mean, what once sounded totally fresh and fresh ("Listen! It's a rap song with a jangly guitar part!"), now just sounds like, well, a De La Soul song.

I still have this CD in my collection, solely for this song. Well, this and the Cyprus Hill/Sonic Youth stoner ode.

Ah, I have always loved this song. I feel old.

The things I remember most about this release are the utter dreckitude of most songs and the hilarious alternate line-ups that we spent the summer inventing at our radio station. "Lois and The Fat Boys" -- YES! (in your best Marv Albert voice, of course).

Actually the best song on here was the Dinosaur Jr./Del track. Of course, its been like 12 years since I've heard it, so it could be trash.

Wow, I loved this song. The rest of this album was comically bad, except for the Cypress Hill/Pearl Jam song "The Real Thing." (which was comically good)

Those of us on the younger side remember the "Spawn" soundtrack, which did something similar, only with metal and "electronica." What would 14-year-old me have done without a Slayer-Atari Teenage Riot mash-up, or a Metallica-DJ Spooky combo? I just don't know.

this song is one of the reasons my cd collection is larger than it needs to be. i still have the promo cd single for this song that i dug out of a used cd bin when the soundtrack came out. and i still have the suburbia soundtrack, too, and actually listen to it on occasion.

I haven't heard it it 10 years, but my memory jives w/ Jay's - the Del tha Funky Homosapien track was the best.

Back in the day, I wuz hoping for a Pavement/PM Dawn duo thing: revenge of the suburban spazzes.

As a naive New Yorker, that movie scared the hell out of me. For years I thought Chicago was a place where Dennis Leary would shoot you in the face within 10 minutes of landing at O'Hare.

I was always partial to the Sonic Youth/Cypress Hill track.

Holy crap AlannaBanana I remember that Spawn soundtrack! The Slayer/Atari Teenage Riot track was far and away the best thing on it, and still holds up as completely awesome. It found a second life on the Slayer box set "Soundtrack to the Apocalypse."

This record was the "Cannonball Run" of high-profile soundtracks. So much talent uniting to create so much medocrity. Such promise, such disappointment.

That said, Everlast's riff at the end of the House of Pain/Helmet collab was pretty sweet. And I also actually dug the Onyx/Biohazard title track, if only because "Oh Black Jesus!" remains a supremely satisfying lamentation, 13 years later.

I'll chime in to say I still listen to "Freak Momma" on the iPod for two reasons:

1. Sir Mix-a-Lot threatens to "throw you in the Mud, honey," one of my all-time fav collaborator namechecks.

2. Near the end of the track, SM-a-L drawls "Just lost my street credibility, y'all." Hey, guy, don't sweat it, just about every rapper on this damned soundtrack is joining you in that sentiment.

Noamjamski, at the time I was a blue-haired Manson devotee, so I listened obsessively to the Marilyn Manson/Sneaker Pimps (remember them?) track, appropriately titled "Long Hard Road Out of Hell." With the power of hindsight, I now recognize the Slayer/Atari track as far superior.

You know what track was definitely NOT the best? Cypress hill and Pearl Jam. I don't think it's a coincidence that Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E made the cover while Pearl Jam was relegated to land of Therapy and Fatal.

Can we keep the Emilio-related soundtrack posts still going? Young Guns II? Repo Man? D3: The Mighty Ducks?

Oh, and I once owned the "Freejack" soundtrack on cassette. Seriously.

yup, the sonic youth/cypress hill track is fabulous.

i'd love to hear the slayer/atari teenage riot track - hey idolator - post it! please?

I remember when this was NME Single of Week.
Now could we possibly have the b-side version?

If anyone has the Cypress Hill/Sonic Youth or Slayer/Atari Teenage riots in non-DRM Mp3 form, send 'em along to tips [at] idolator dot com.

I love the Judgement Night soundtrack. Many songs from it still get regular play on my iPod.

The Spawn soundtrack, not so much.

My god, I just realized something -- I got this album for free from a friend who worked at Sony at the time and I never actually listened to it. (This is more typical with me than you might imagine.)

This is one of those songs you can just bust out singing and everyone around you will join in.

Never has a blog entry more accurately described a moment from my past. I bought it the day it came out. I was beyond excited. Then I became confused, and annoyed, and bored, and I eventually sold the CD. But in the intervening months, I listened to this track non-stop.

Yeah, this song still sounds great. I worked at a college station at the time and I used to play several cuts off of this soundtrack when it came out. The Spawn OST was pretty crappy. Besides the Slayer/Atari Teenage Riot cut, I also liked the Filter/Crystal Method track.

Yer just another victim, kid.

Heh. I DJed some sort of college orientation thingie in our student center's ballroom. I remember being chastised by some outraged mom because I had played a song about being just another victim.

this is a most excellent and sometimes sadly prophetic album but its listed mostly above highlights are still fully operational today. my personal favorite will always be the faith no more/boo-yaa tribe collaboration for faux-yet-convincing predatory wonderment though people should also not sleep on the ice-t/slayer throwdown. as the years pass, the more competent and occasionally thrilling the first body count cassette sounds in the corolla proving that early-nineties l.a. was a far scarier place than even previously realized.
