“Walk This Way” is still a staple, almost 35 years after its recording. Aerosmith and Run DMC might have faded away with age, but this song still remains on your Uncle’s cookout party playlist. The boys from Boston had the rock down set and match, but it took Run, DMC and Jam Master Jay hoppin on the track to start the movement. It isn’t always the...
It’s so easy to hate on nu-metal. That’s because most of it actually, legitimately sucked. It’s tempting to include acts like Limp Bizkit, KoRn, and Kid Rock here, but the truth is, they all are slightly (if not completely) problematic (esp Kid Rock, annnnd we’re not afraid to let our politics show a little). But then there’s Rage. The union of Zac...
At this point Ice-T is better known for Law & Order: SVU and stirring up shit on Twitter than he is for being a musician. But when T came on the scene, he was hardcore as hell. So hardcore, that he went and started a hardcore band. While Ice-T doesn’t really rap on the track, he comes from a rap background, turning to guitarist Ernie C to form Body...
Any record that features collaborations between Slayer & Ice-T, Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill, and Dinosaur Jr. & Del The Funky Homosapien is so forward thinking that it remains trapped in 1993. When the Judgement Nightsoundtrack came out it was the biggest deal. 11 superstar bands collaborating with 11 superstar rappers. This was unheard of. (12 if y...
HELL YEAH. Godzilla ain’t got shit on Diddy ripping a Led Zeppelin guitar riff for another blockbuster movie soundtrack. Though he was going by Puff Daddy at that point and was just about the biggest person in the game. “Come With Me” was such a jam that he and producer Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) got Jimmy Page to come in to the studio ...
The Gorillaz are by all stretches of the imagination, a supergroup, combining Damon Albarn’s pop songwriting, Jamie Hewlett’s design and animation, with a number of other musicians from varying walks of life. But the virtual band never hit highs quite like their first single, “Clint Eastwood,” where Del the Funky Homosapien is literally and figurat...
Jay-Z and Linkin Park came together in 2004, arguably the height of both of their careers for a collab that would send shocks through the entire industry. What could have just been a mashup album produced in someone’s bedroom became a staple in most people’s music collection. This was two icons coming together to mashup their individual tracks into...
I’d be much more adept at writing one of these about the blurring of electronic music and other genres, so we’ll throw Ratatat in as a curveball between Kid Cudi and MGMT. But goddamn if “Pursuit of Happiness” isn’t one of the best songs of all time. STILL...ten years later. Cudi rapping, Ratatat on the beat and MGMT on the hook. This is everything...
I don’t even think this one counts, because it was a mash-up album made by a third party and the xx are definitely not rock and roll, but I don’t care, because wait what put together one of the most important mash-ups of all time. Juicy” just pops over the xx’s “Intro” in a way that still feels fresh to this day. If I’m DJing a party and I put this...
Look how far we’ve come. The track that inspired the article. We wouldn’t be here without this one. And aren’t you glad we are? 34 years and an entire history lesson thanks to Chicago’s golden boy and Bellingham, WA’s indie god. Who knew we needed this track? Not me. Gibbard’s voice perfectly leads way for the best verse on Chance’s new record. The...
