Artist: Sublime
Album: Sublime Self-Titled
Year: 1996
Run Time: ???
Trivia:
This track was one of many songs by different artists that tried to articulate the events of the 1992 riots in L.A. resulting from the Rodney King police beating verdict. The song also proved to be one of Sublime's most powerful anti-authority songs, especially when sampling the N.W.A. line "187 on a motherfuckin' cop."
Included in the song are acutal police scanner sounds from that night, recorded by Miguel off of his neighbor's police scanner.
There is also an alternative version of this song on Sublime's 1997 b-sides release, Second Hand Smoke.
