Mad Korny *sigh*

Dem Franchize Boyz vs. Korn - Coming Undone Wit It
De La Soul and Teenage Fanclub - Fallin'

Quote from the Virgin Records press release:

Two of the year's biggest multi-format hit songs are about to morph into something newer, bigger and even more out of control, as two Virgin labelmates, the definitive trend-setting, Grammy-winning modern rock icons KORN, and the definitive kings of Southern "snap" hip-hop, DEM FRANCHIZE BOYZ, mash up their current singles in a mid-week studio session.

The bands are to meet on Wednesday, April 12, in Los Angeles, to create a new mash-up version of the No. 1 Urban and Top 10 pop DFB single "Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It," with "Coming Undone," the second single from Korn's platinum-plus Virgin Records debut, "SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE."

Ugh. I've never heard the Korn song, but I have heard the song I posted. This is going to be (already is?) a dismal failure. I remember when Korn teamed up with Lil Jon or whatever, and that shit was wack too. In fact, 90% of all rap-rock supergroup combos (or in this case, a rap-rap-rock combo?) suck. Jay-Z and Linkin Park? No. Run DMC and Aerosmith? Corny as fuck. In fact, not only do the collaborations mostly eat ass on their own, the movement has helped paved the way for the worst possible rap-and-rock-influenced groups in history. We didn't get 10 Becks, we got 20 Limp Bizkits/Biohazards/Kid Rocks.

The only dope one was when Public Enemy and Anthrax did "Bring the Noize." And the De La Soul song from the "Judgment Night" soundtrack. And that one song on the Handsome Boy Modeling School with dude from the Mars Volta (speaking of which). I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but my brain is still recovering from the Korn-Franchize audio abortion.
