The title track makes me glad the corniest metal band and the corniest rap group found each other. Sometimes I yell "JUDGMENT NIIIIIIGHT!!!" when Jokić hits a 3.
While the title track is bad, “Come and Die” is one of the worst songs I have ever heard.
Haha that was the first time I'd heard Therapy? and I was convinced they were the worst band in the world.

Even the artists I like that contributed to this (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur, Teenage Fanclub, Mudhoney, early Helmet, De La Soul, Ice-T, and Run DMC) were already burnt or getting there by the time this thing was recorded. Maybe Del Tha Funky Homosapien still had some life left in him in 1993? I dunno.

Biohazard, Onyx, Pearl Jam, Cypress Hill, Living Color, and House of Pain always struck me as being glossy crud from day one. Biz bands.

"Just Another Victim" and "Judgment Night" were totally from that tough guy/hockey jock school of alternarock. The latter song being especially horrible, per my recollection ("juuuuuddgemeeennnnnt niiiiiiight!"; fuck you).

Someone like Jeru or Wu Tang jamming w/the Boredoms or the Blues Explosion might have been vaguely cool at the time, but that's pretty far-fetched for a Hollywood soundtrack, no?

This album always struck me as something cooked up by an overzealous A&R guy or bigshot producer. A gent like Hal Willner was always way more organic and elegant at such endeavors.

The 90s hip hop/alt teamups we didn't get, and likely didn't want either:

Jeru the Demaja + Boredoms
Wu Tang Clan + Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Son Of Bazerk + Sponge
Ol Dirty Bastard + Ass Ponys
Lauryn Hill + Veruca Salt
Eazy E + Bastro
