Hip Hop Remake of Rock Songs Options

[flipcombatmedic]

I think some songs like so are horrible, eg P Diddy's re fu-k of come with me, i mean Led Zeppelin actually let 'em kill a legendary hit.

I think "Let's Go" (changed title), originally by Ozzy, is somewhat butchered but much better than the one above.

None of those guys can come up with anything original. It's all about money, ho's, drugs', themselves, or gangbanging. Not really suprised they would turn to a different genre for ideas. Thats why i dont even listen to Hip hop that much anymore. To many idiots out there try to emulate the behavior and message that it sends(unfortunatley mostly blacks)

edit: should have probably said African-Americans instead of blacks...

Jasel - True about the standard society of the rap genre these days thats why you gotta go back to stage 1 and dig up the classics.

As for rock, there was a group that was original and that was Body Count. Pretty heavy and Ice-T as their frontman.

its uncreative yes but sampling also has been a recipe for hit records, like puff said "its all about the benjamins"

[First_Born]

In all, when it comes down to sampling and making it flow, its not as easy as you think. Chopping and slicing then sequencing it does take time and effort to make it work.

Put it this way, when producers sample like Kanye does with old soul/funk melodies, its a way to revive the legends and keep it alive. Yeah sampling is unoriginal to a certain degree but at the same time they are reminding you of what was classics of the old days.

^yeah, but at least put like realy voice talents you know and don't jack up the lyrics of it.

[AgentBach]

fu-k that. Why destroy good music?

now you can find alot of songs from the 90s being sampled, each year it moves up a decade, i wouldnt be surprise when it catches up and u'll find diddy sampling his old songs

[flipcombatmedic]

^that's cuz diddy just live off other's music. most of his music is ripped off others, and he's suppposedly be one of the most talented in the music industry.

Do you know whats really funny, when i listen to the old rock versions of those songs (cause i love rock) and then some of my friends tell me im a sad case cause its an old song and the lyrics suck, then some new version of it comes out with almost the same lyrics and a little extra *more modern beat* and they end up liking the new version as well as the old

What about remakes of hiphop rnb songs by rock groups? That alien ant farm smooth criminal was awful. Korn cover of word up was ok

^ that AAF smooth criminal was cool. WOrd up was a cover ?? from what song?
Lim bizkit's faith made them famous
Limp Bizkit sanitarium was really good. And Korn one was ok. Metallica's version was better.
I think I heard on the radio some rap song with the beat from the fugees's ready or not. Whats the matter? run out of beats ?? lol.
I'm not a rap fan but I think Dr Dre's 2001 album was good.

[pacman]

I'm fine with it

lol that explains a lot hahaha
I thought like wtf is wrong with korn hahaha
I kinda like it though, it was just soo different but jonathan davis voice is still kinda rocky. I think KORN(the AF mod) is going to hate that song so bad hahaha.

^ dude what did you edit your post??

Word up is originally a song by cameo. I guess AAf's cover was ok but i still prefer the original song. Plus michael video was better. That video was the epitome of cool with the way he threw the quarter into the jukebox.

I'm not really liking it I like when rap does oldie hits but not rock......I got tha Jay-Z & Linkin Park CD...It SUCKED!

[flipcombatmedic]

I'm not really liking it   I like when rap does oldie hits   but not rock......I got tha Jay-Z & Linkin Park CD...It SUCKED!

but that's cuz yo're a hip hop fan. i like both music (grew up rock, picked up hiphop) but in both sides i dislike remaking (especially legendary ones) with exception of some good ones.

It's ok, Like tha 'Let's Go' - Trick Daddy & Lil Jon song was good. But that Linkin Park & Jay-Z CD was a rip off
