Musical Montage: Marky Mark “The Illest”

We’re talking about 1996’s Fear on the Everything Actioncast this week as Mark Wahlberg plays the bad guy again in this weekend’s new release, Flight Risk. Along with starring as the psychotic David McCall in the movie, Marky Mark also provided the song “The Illest” for the movie’s soundtrack.  The Fear soundtrack is an eclectic mix with 90s alternative like Bush and Toad the Wet Sprocket alongside The Allman Brothers.  Although the Funky Bunch had disbanded in 1993, “The Illest” seems like an attempt for a solo Marky Mark to go gangsta, dropping tons of f-bombs and making lots of claims about how he’s the scariest and most brutal dude around.  The song was only released on the Fear soundtrack, so it was never a single that would have charted, and there’s no music video either, but you can hear the track below and come back on Friday for our Fear episode.
