I never knew about this collaboration. Does anyone know anything about this song? They talk about stone in the song, was he the only member of pearl jam that was part of this or is that Dave A. on drums and Jeff on bass?

Camden NJ night 1 6/19/2008 (one of the best days of my life!)

Music is the engine to my Imagination and Pearl Jam is the fuel for that engine.

    The movie was absurd. The soundtrack had a few good tracks. I remember buying it when it came out. Each song had a rap group with a rock group...

    That De La Soul song with Teenage Fanclub was a great tune. That PJ/Cypress Hill and the Onyx/Biohazard were my favorites. Man, that was a long time ago, huh? I can't really remember what else was on it, but for some reason I remember those. I think Sonic Youth was on with Cypress Hill too

    I still pull out that cd once in awhile. I like the song. I know Stone was a Cypress Hill fan so Im sure he was excited to do it.

  • I remember reading that on the MTV live and loud show on december 1993, once pearl jam pulled out of the show, Jeff and Stone showed up and played this song live with Cypress Hill, does anyone knows if a video of this is available?

    I liked it. Rock + Rap collide. It was awesome! Wish they did more of this.

    How can you not like .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0JKWeYcwNY .. played LOUD!?!

    I thought it was pretty good. A group of friends going (coming?) to a game, take the wrong exit, end up in crime central, witness a murder, has to run from said murderers to survive...it could happen!

    Anyway, I think Dirty Frank is worse.

    I liked the movie and the soundtrack!!!

    When I saw PJ in Springfield MA 94, they played the full Cypress Hill cd after Mudhoney while they were finishing setting up Pearl Jam!!

  • The album/soundtrack was just re-released for RSD Black Friday 2023. Interesting group of songs for sure and it is definitely a time capsule into the early 90’s.

    I remember buying the album at the time as I was grabbing anything Pearl Jam. Giving it a retro listen decades later I actually find their collaboration to be lower on the cuts I actually like from this album. It’s just not a good fit. The Helmet/House of Pain collaboration isn’t bad. Fallin (Teenage Fan acclimated and De La Soul) is the standout track and still a catchy number worth a listen if you never heard this album.

    Oh… the movie flat out sucked.

  • I don’t care what anyone says, this album is dynamite. It was in the 90’s and it’s still good today.

    Oh big time! Too bad we will never get a new kick ass rap & rock collaboration like the Judgment Night Soundtrack.

    I believe is was just Jeff, Dave & Stone. Great soundtrack if you like rap and rock. First this was done of it's time since walk this way. Or maybe Urban Dance Squad. 
  • I thought Eddie did the Nah Nah Nahs and the mumbling part before it's the real thing sample.

    Much like Emilio Estevez’s group, some of these bands fare better than others. And while we’re already on the subject, Pearl Jam isn’t one of them—even though, in terms of appealing to the alternative-rock fans of ’93, there was no more intriguing team-up than Eddie Vedder and company trading musical ideas with Cypress Hill. By then, “Insane In The Brain” had already become a huge crossover hit, back during that weird era when listeners like me could hear it bleeding into “Even Flow” on wildly loose alternative-radio formats like Dallas’ The Edge 94.5 FM. Cypress Hill’s Black Sabbath samples and the very metal mountain-of-skulls cover art of Black Sundayas well as its side-stage gig at Lollapalooza ’92—had already anointed it as one of the select few hip-hop groups alterna-kids could officially be down with, alongside the Beastie Boys. So it seemed like a potentially era-defining moment when, in a tantalizing interview for Rolling Stone, Sen Dog teased, “The Pearl Jam shit is dope because we put hard B-boy rhymes on top of some heavy-metal-sounding shit. We were talking real street shit like we always do.”

    Sen Dog was right about one thing: “Real Thing” is indeed some plodding, generic, heavy-metal-sounding shit, with B-Real—apart from name-checking Stone Gossard—mostly trotting out boilerplate rhymes about pigs, nines, and AKs, while Gossard adds some gratuitous “na-na-na” backing vocals over music that might as well be a GarageBand “Hard Rock Loop 2” preset. For all its momentous promises, “Real Thing” is really a duet in name only: The groups simply traded tracks by mail—and to make matters worse (or possibly for the better), Vedder didn’t even bother to participate. The result is such an anticlimax, it’s no wonder “Real Thing” is buried at the very end of the album, despite boasting the album’s two biggest names.
