Cultural Connection Judgment Night Seattle grunge meets New York hip-hop Erick Gill Managing Editor Ever since Run D.M.C. teamed up wilh Aerosmith years ago, rap music has been extending the limits of how far it can go. And ever since the ‘80s blockbuster movies have been accompanied by blockbuster soundtracks. The soundtrack to the new Universal ic\&asc, Judgment Night, is no different. Judgment Night, released on Immortal/ Epic records, has taken the rap/rock combination and turn it upside down. It’s like Seattle meets New York. Rappers like House of Pain, Run D.M.C., Onyx, and Cypress Hill team up with alternative, hard hitters such as Helmet, Living Colour, Biohazard and Pearl Jam to record the first hip-hop, grunge album. From straight-edge hard core to smooth flowing hip-hop, this 11 track album has it all. Helmet and House of Pain kick off the album with “Just Another Victim”, a brilliant combination of rock and rap. Helmet’s no nonsense style blends well with House’s “fine malt lyrics”. Other harder edged songs include: ' Biohazard and Onyx’s “Judgement Night”, Faith No More and Boo Yaa T.R.I.B.E.’s “Another Body Murder” and Slayer and ICE-T’s “Disorder”. Judgment Night The alternative side includes: Dinosaur Jr. and Del the Funky Homosapien’s “Missing Link”, Pearl Jam and Cypress HiII”s “Real Thing” and Mudhoney and Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Freak Momma”. On the hip-hop side. Sonic Youth and Cypress Hill lay down on the the album’s best track, “I Love You Mary Jane”. Teenage Fanclub and De La Soul take Tom Petty s Free Failin’”, add their own style, and come up with the outstanding mellow track, “Failin’”. There is no telling how well the Judgment Night motion picture will do at the box office, but as far as the soundtrack goes, it is sure to bring down the house.
