Music Video: Lil Wayne "Prom Queen" x KoRn

Yes, I'm aware this video is probrably a few weeks old, the song's been out for quite a while. I'm not a huge fan of Lil Wayne doing a rock record and this song bugged the hell out of me the first few times I heard it, but if you look at it in the vein of a rapper trying to do a pop rock song, it after a few listens it really isn't all that bad.

Anyways, but that's coming from someone who was a huge rap metal fan in the late 90's.

But why I really posted is because while watching the video, I noticed that the members of KoRn are in the video. Again, two of my favorite things put together - even on a song I would never admit to enjoying. I wasn't sure who's playing guitar in the video (most likely Munky, as Head is no longer in the band), but Fieldy (who sure got raggier looking) is definately on bass and Jonathan Davis is definately on the drums.

I stopped being a KoRn fan about 10 years ago, but it's nice to see them still involved in today's popular music.

Lil Wayne - "I Feel Like Dying"

This has been my favorite song for the past two weeks. I thought I'd share it because it took me completely off guard and makes me like Wayne even more. For a more commercial southern rapper, this song is incredibly poetic while being very dark and deep. It's obviously about drugs ... but when did (black) rappers get so emotional about them?!?! I didn't know Wayne spit about this type of 'white-boy' stuff. In terms of subject matter, it reminds me of something I'd hear on a Cage, Necro or even Eminem track... very impressive!


Been bumping the Carter III a lot too... best track by far is "Mr. Carter" ft. Jay-Z, although the one about sleeping with female police officers is classic too.

Until hearing the Drought 3, I was honestly never a fan. I tried listening to The Carter 1 & 2, and I'm still not feeling those Manny Fresh/southern styled midi keyboard synth beats.

I heard about this because apparently he's being sued by the singer of the band Karma for not clearing the sample. Which is pretty stupid because this is a mixtape track and was never officially released. The controversy is that he still preforms it live. More on that here.
