Hijack - Murder In Tha' First Degree The Original Horns Of Jericho / Instrumental Movie Sound Track Label: Reservoir Records Year: 1988 (on Vinyl 1996)
There's not much that gets me excited these days, but suddenly finding a dope track like this, by an old school crew I've listened to thousands of times, is pretty much as good as it gets. Thanks man. You regularly make old heads like me very happy!!
OH MAN!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS FOR ME!!! I WAS THE ONE WHO REQUESTED THIS TRACK. I USED HAVE THIS IN VINYL. FUCKING MISS THIS JOINT!!!! THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH MY BROTHER!!!
Yeah so ... just recently, finally picked up that "Original Horns of Jericho" album on vinyl and wasn't aware that this track was on there, or of its existence at all ... was excited to hear some Hijack I'd never heard before (obviously a fan, and that record cost me a fair bit on discogs -bought it mainly for "Shoguns Assassin" which I've loved ever since hearing a Westwood tape dub) ... ... about a minute into the track I'm like "whoah, this is a bit over the top, isn't it?". And it gets worse from there. That last verse with the anal rape thing???? I'm glad they left this off the album to be honest. And they could have left it off the "Original Horns of Jericho" as well as far as I'm concerned.
(it did make me wonder if Hijack was listening to the early Geto Boys records though! I see some similarities, but in that case it also seems like they really wanted to outdo them on the shock value)

bottom line is ... I'm against all forms of corporate censorship, but if Warner made them take this off the album they made the right call for once!
