"First off, while this single is fresh and fairly rare, its worth it to the juggalos and collectors. But then again, ALOT of people dig this song, it was extremely popular in Europe which is why this is an import single, and, like all other singles by I.C.P in the U.S., it never got much air-play because of their image. This single contains 4 tracks of 'Hokus Pokus', and the other version(#2), contains 3 other previously-released tracks including 'My Kind of Bxtch' and 'Prom Queen' off their "Tunnel of Love" ep, as well as the fresh song 'Skitsofrantic' from their "Terror Wheel" ep. Most juggalos will have both of the versions and most prefer #2 so I would suggest that version if its available as is that ones rarer then this one and has different songs to bump to. Anyway, like I said, this contains the 'Hokus Pocus' track in 4 different versions...
'Headhuntaz Remix' was remixed by a famous DJ in Europe named Jason Nevins. The remix was a hit in Europe and other countries out of the U.S., so their label, Polygram, decided to make it a single-disc internationally which is why its hard to find here in the states. This is also the video-version of the song and is also available on "Forgotten Freshness volume 2". I think this track is pretty phat, its different beat-wise and done well by Jason, I recommend this song to people who want to hear a little taste of the flavor by I.C.P.
'Radio Edit' is the LP version of the song, only remixed for radio. Not much different from the LP version, just edited. And as we all know, edits are for radio/MTV-people so its stale, but its I.C.P so its still fresh.
'Headhuntaz Instrumental' is just the beats for the remix and is fresh for karaoke or if you just want to hear some dope bass and sxit.
'LP Version' can be found on their album "The Great Milenko", and this is the original song. I dig this song alot and I think it was smart for the clowns to make this a single as its more accesible for pre-juggalos and still has that wicked flavor we all know and love. I like this version better then the remix, but its all fresh.
Most part-time juggalos wouldn't even bother to get this, but hardcore juggalos and collectors will love to have this in their collection. I dig this single alot, and I think you will too if you like the Hokus Pokus song. See you in the Dark Carnival...
