Everyone is forgetting the roughest song within this whole movie. About 3o minutes in when Horsemouth pulls up to the party after he speaks with sunshine. The party his bike gets stolen at. There is a song that plays for like 30 seconds or so. And then he changes the record to Dillinger I believe. Does anyone have any info on this song. I cant find any? Thanks.
sharethe song at 2 minutes into this clip? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nltDZoXc0_k
It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...
Yea its that song exactly. No one seems to know what it is? And some say its Midnight Rock by Big Joe. But i cant find that song anywhere. It must be seriously underground.

This is indeed not only the roughest song in the movie but its also one of the tougest riddims I ever heard. I have searched for it for a long time but it seems lost to history.
The singer is Big Joe. You can hear it is his style/voice if you know him. Producer most probably Jack Ruby or Bunny Lee judging from style. I have read about this on every reggae forum I know but its the same everywhere.
As mentioned earlier its rumored to go by the name midnight rock. Apparantly on the DVD which is named after songs it says Big Joe - Midnight rock. Personally I think it has "gotten" that name cause when the next song starts Big Joe says: "Sounds called the mignight rock so whatcha man" or similar however that is for the intro of the song that comes after. So that name can be meaningless if you wanna find it. The song after is answer my question (answer riddim) however it is not Dillingers version (there are many differences), it is most probably Big Joe singing here also.
If you do like this kind of reggae I can recommend a few songs/artists to get you started. However as I said I have never heard a riddim and song as tough as that clip in the song but I think you can find something you like here:
