Has Cop Killer ever been officially rereleased after they pulled it from the album? I guess I just assume that Warner Brothers or whoever owns the master recordings and won't ever put it out.

I was in high school when it originally released and had my Cop Killer version for years. Not sure what ever happened to it.

Anyway, the outrage around that song always struck me as fucking absurd. The track right before it - Momma's Gotta Die Tonight - has him burning, beating, and dismembering his mother. No one said shit about that one. So I always felt like, okay America, I see which lives you value. (In the songs, Momma is not better than the cops, but that isn't really the point.)

The whole album is angry, over the top, and often laughing at itself. People are just stupid and racist.
