What I know about rap and crunk music isn’t worth a popcorn fart. It’s not that I think it’s bad, on some objective scale of “blows” to “awesome”. It’s just that, in my current frame of mind, it’s like everything else that isn’t metal: 99% of it is just BORE. ING.
But there are exceptions to every rule, and Lil Jon’s song “Stop Fuckin Wit Me” is one of them. I just heard this yesterday. The only reason I even found out about it is because there’s a metal connection: The song includes samples from Slayer. Some will say this pollutes Slayer, Some will say this pollutes crunk. And some will say this is a crime against all music, and a crime against nature on top of that. But me? I just wanna get in my car, roll the windows down, and blast this shit at random strangers until my speakers plead for mercy, “give em some of my fuckin pain”.
It’s kind of like that Archgoat song we featured yesterday. Sometimes, you just get some irreplaceable pleasure out of annoying the shit out of other people. But beyond that, this song just speaks to me. It gives voice to that small, meek voice that wants to be a lot bigger than it is, the voice that just wants to say, almost every day, to one person or another, who may or may not have it coming to ’em but I’d like to give it to ’em anyway, STOP FUCKIN WIT ME!
Oh yeah, one more thing: Credit to Cormorant for turning me onto this via a FB post, and who would’ve guessed that quite awesome band would be paying attention to this song? It came out years ago, and so some of you may find this to be really old news, but from my perspective if it’s new to me, then it’s just fuckin NEW. (listen after the jump)

Oh…oh, god. I’m flashing back to high school.
…I may or may not have had the album this song was on. And I may or may not have heard it before I ever heard Raining Blood (I may or may not have been into rap before I got into metal).
I think you may or may not have preserved your integrity as a metalhead.
Yeah, pretty sure I heard a few curse words in there.
Wait . . . where?
In the second bridge he says “sh*t”. Clear as day.
Naw man, you imagining things.
Stop foolin wit me.
I will desist from figuratively engaging your mind in intercourse.
I was trying to figure out how to say something like that, but I couldn’t think of any that didnlt sound like really polite ways to fend off rape.
I can’t help but think of The Chappell Show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEGhVALXUZk&feature=fvst
I think this is one of the more positive results of metal being sampled in rap. Ice-T used some Black Sabbath to decent effect on the O.G. album and I know I’ve heard others but don’t recall what they were anymore.
Oh, speaking of Ice-T and Slayer… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0JKWeYcwNY
Here’s a song by Trick Daddy that samples Crazy Train. It was produced by Lil Jon, actually. Lil Jon’s apparently a metal fan (or at least a fan of the metal songs that even non-metalheads know).

Metal samples make rap a lot more tolerable and I think it’s a complement more than an offence.
Oh, I agree. The youtube comments on that video bitching about combining the two make me sad. If anything, it’s awesome that (certain) metal is that widespread.
And by “certain” metal, I meant that only some metal songs/artists are particularly well known, not that there are some genres of metal that shouldn’t be widespread. Sorry if that wasn’t clear. Spread ALL THE METAL.
Spread it like the legs of a $5 ho!
Spread it like syphilis!
Spread it like jam.
like you find in the crack of a $5 ho!
I’m feeling queasy now.
Icky.
Ho-cracks! Now in all your favorite flavors, including strawberry, grape, blackberry, and ass hair!
Mighty fine on a biscuit!
Someone make them stop.
You prefer toast?
I think he’s upset because we discontinued the ball sweat flavor.
I spit up in my mouth.
This song samples 2 sabbath songs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfXtkyctoR0
That is cool. Nice jazzy bass line in there. But . . . I ain’t goin’ out like that.
I never listened to that album much but there’ve been some stoned evenings spent to Temples of Boom.
This is the only album by them I ever go into. My rap phase didn’t last long.
WHAT?!!?! WHAT+!?!? OKAYYYY!!! YEAAAAH!!
Dave Chappelle<3 Fuck yo couch nigga, EH EH EH!
Btw. Cocaine's a helluva drug.
What a coinkydink. I nearly included that same Ice-T = Slayer track in this post, but it just didn’t hook me enough. I also nearly included a few Body Count tracks. Probably should have. I used to think Body Count was pretty fuckin rad, but now it’s just nostalgia.
It was the shit when it came out but I agree it’s a nostalgic listen now.
That. Is. A. Classic.
CHAOS, CHAOS. CHAOS. CHAOS. DON’T GIVE A FUCK!
Wouldn’t be the first time Slayer was sampled, Public Enemy did it in 88 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhHD1emjPTw
Wow. I didn’t know that. Cool.
I actually don’t feel that rap and metal are all that different, as least as far as certain kinds of rap go (“gangsta rap”, mainly, not pop rap). Gangsta rap and metal are both agressive and angry, both willing to explore the darker side of life, and both have plenty of violent lyrical content and imagery (more people probably “die” in rap songs than in death metal songs :P). And I think certain rap artists (Ice T, who actually had a metal band, Lil Jon, and apparently Public Enemy) see that, and use it to good effect.
That works. It’s now in the post. Thank you sir.
I think it’s safe to say Public Enemy had an appreciation of metal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6dUAaftfzw
Chuck D is way underrated as an artist. He was the first rapper that I really paid attention too.
I think it works really damn well!
Before I got into metal, I listened to a blend of hip-hop, numetal, and rock. Metal dominates now, so I don’t have time for the old haunts…but I still have a soft spot for good rap.
Not sure if Lil’ Jon is good or not, but I still like him.
Stop fuckin wit me.
I have nothing but mad respect for Lil Jon since he started his own wine label (“Little Jonathan”) with the assertion that “this ain’t no Boone’s Farm shit.”
Oh my fuck. I thought you were making this up for a laff. But it’s really true. Real crunk juice.
Here’s some irony: most of the time when rap artists sample metal songs, I like the result…but when metal artists sample rap, I hate with the fiery burning hate of a thousand suns.
And then there’s this:

I know you’re all going to hate me now.
I love you. I like me sum Biohazard. This just went in the post.
Sure, you love me NOW…let’s see how you feel in two weeks when this is still stuck in your head.
If you want to hear a band combine rap and metal correctly, check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep94iPgLPow severely underrated band.
I prefer reggae metal 🙂

NOBODY GETS OUT OF THIS PIT ALIVE
SKIN! DRED! Fuck yeah.
Their first album (the only one I have) was pretty fucking great.
I’d highly recommend getting the rest, they get better.Their new one, Union black, just came out a couple omonths ago.
Does this count? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcnKIBxgTxA
No. This might, however.

I see your Bad Brains and raise you Living Color.

What about this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ls6haxiiDOg
Touché.
Saw this one on the facebook thread you linked, an interesting idea sampling Opeth, but I don’t dig the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EXh-mXaGHE&feature=player_embedded
Islander – This was an awesome post. Brought back a lot of memories from my high school days in the early nineties. This may be the push I needed to start to expand my musical boundaries again after being boxed into extreme metal for so long.
Why would you do that? Extreme metal has all the variety a well balanced diet needs.
Well, don’t forget the fiber.
Extreme metal has a lot of moral fiber, too. In place of “See Spot Run” primers, they use Cannibal Corpse songs in schools now.
You can never get too much fiber. Runny shits are the suck.
Expanding musical boundaries beyond the realm of metal would be an act of treason punishable by . . . uh . . . something harsh. A 48-hour continuous loop of Katy Perry songs?
As long as I get to watch her tits bounce all over the place, I will listen to anything you want.
Russell Brand is one lucky bastard. How did he got lucky enought to marry Katy Perry? I don’t think I would ever be able to stop motorboating those things. They are the epitome of the term “Fun Bags”
