Sorry - I don't have a smartphone. So I cannot identify the following. It is a rap song featured in the film - 'The King Of New York'.

Would really love the name. Thanks!

Okay - thanks for that. I have it now - Schoolly D - 'Am I Black Enough For You?'





Not sure why I had trouble finding it in the past.

I have the Schoolly D CD with that song on it, but it isn't the version that's in the film. That was a mix he did just for the film, and it isn't available anywhere. I can't tell you many times I've watched "King of New York." It's cool to see so many actors in that film that went on to have great careers...

I only got round to watching the film because Quentin Tarantino said it was better than Goodfellas. Now - I can't agree with him on that. But it is very good - and has a dark spirit unlike any other film I have seen.

And I love Christopher Walken. I think he might be my favourite actor. There is just something wonderfully 'off' about him.

Speaking of Walken - this always makes me laugh:
