Very rarely do I think a remake outshines the original, songs like Dylan's All Along the Watchtower being done by Hendrix or Metallica covering the Misfit's Last Caress......but I think RATM pulled it off....and I'm a Cypress fan.
I like the original a little better cause you can chill to it it's impossible to chill to RATM cause you're head banging too much and stuff like that. This is the best rap cover I've ever seen. I honestly doubt another band could cover it. As someone said this version is to jam to the other is to chill to. :)
I like this because it causes holes in walls, corprate america protestest, and for me can be used as a subsitue to 5 cups of coffe and bening punched in the face. All in the same song. Go RATM
@Megajustinguy No it doesn't. RATM is for headbanging and getting angry with the system to. Cypress Hill is for kicking back with a blunt or a bong and chilling to. The two versions are incomparable, although they did combine well when RATM got Cypress Hill on stage with them.
On the whole, even though I love Rage, I usually prefer the originals when they do cover songs. This and Kick Out The Jams are the exceptions, I think they are at least equal to the originals, but in different ways.
@vietmaster3945 Yeah they didn't want to be racist and make a cd full of songs for white kids. If they did this song it was for the black and mexican ghetto kids.
@aabron4123 That is a common misconception. "And" is not proper to start a sentance with when you're writing, say, an essay or a formal letter. However, it is not against any rule of the English language in (at least) America. Again, it's not formal, but it's not wrong, either.
@ben10rider100 that's not why it was. morello is just as politically driven as zach, its just not as obvious because he's not thee singer. It was because of some daft stunt that tim commerford pulled at an award ceremony that pissed zach off and caused an argument within the band. they're back now and zach and the rest of the band are just as 'politicle' as ever.
@ben10rider100 How you arrived at that conclusion I have no idea. RATM was political from the very beginning. If any of the band members had a problem with a political message, they would have left after the first album. Zach left the band due to the bassist's stunt at the award show, and because he objected to the release of the cover album, showcased by this song.
rap is full of classic songs stolen bases to get attraction, and makeshift art is not bad, but this version of ratm demonstrates the real force that could do cypress hill, friends, another thing is with GUITAR!. this year r.a.t.m. and s.o.a.d. back to kick the crap out of artificial music
@hippi650 Say what? Course I do. Working class anger, people suffering, throbbing masses, accountability, other lefty catchphrases. I even used to agree with them until I grew up.
@anthonysaurus656 cypress hill gave them this song to recreate u fuckin retard dont fuck wit rage mutherfucker u prolly arent even old enough to have seen them poppin u ever been to a concert?
one of the greatest cover songs ive ever heard in my life. no joke. Original is fantastic but this is just as good. Rage and Cypress Hill for the fucking win.
the best version is when da Hill joined Rage on that stage and showed us what its all about.. how we cant understand how a gangsta could just kill a man!
@MrCommentTroll lol, How is a Rage song fake and gay? Good trolls would say a comment like that to a homemade video. I guess your trollocity is backfiring
enough bieber references. Why is he still relevent? Because people still talk about him. If you would all shut the fuck up about the moron, he would fade into obscurity, Maybe I'm just feeding this troll here, MrCommentTroll, but it's something that needs to be heard.
if anyone can answer this question id really appreciate it. I love RATM...but im not exactly sure about the meaning of this song...help me out? thanks guys
. . . It's about how he could just kill a man. Pretty self explanatory if you look up the lyrics. If you mean in terms of the usual political inneundo of a Rage song, this is a cover of the hip hop group Cypress Hill, so lyrically it's much more akin to gangsta rap than Rage's political rants
BULLSHIT!
