Little Nicky (2000 Film)
An Adam Sandler movie that starsOzzy Osbourneas himself, Rodney Dangerfield as Satan's dad, and Harvey Keitel as Satan is bound to enlist a similarly high-profile collection of music acts to underscore things. Sure enough, a quick scan of the bands signed on reveals a pretty solid "Who's Who" of late-'90s hard rock. In this context,Cypress Hillare positively old-school. However, their track, "Rock Superstar," sounds perfectly slotted next to the molten screed ofP.O.D., the moody murk ofIncubus, and the machine head cutting edge of theDeftones(represented twice here, especially revealing in the final acoustic track). Insolence prove the merging of hard rock and hip-hop is something not about to go away. The addition ofMuseandPowerman 5000makes this an especially well-attended gathering. The only real question is, where's Ozzy?--Rob O'Connor
