"EPIC" FAILURE: RAP METAL APPENDIX



"Yo, Lars, I'm feelin' a little silly, my magistrate."

"Wherefore, sondula?"

"I was bumpin Faith No More's "Epic" not one month ago without realizing it was sampled on Koopsta Knicca's 'Stash Pot' remix."

"'IT'S CRYIN / BLEEDIN / LYIN ON THE FLOOR'?"

"Nah, DJ Paul looped the piano passage on the outro."

"That shit sound hainted.  Like, zoinks."

"Couldn't quite place it.  Thought it was some of that spooky Reznor shit.  He so crazy.  I saw a video once where he and David Blaine cut off their hands and went to a taxidermist and threw their stuffed hands in a fish tank.  It was très Brooklyn."

"Trent Reznor and Marilyn Manson recorded an album with Jay-Z and R Kelly called Best Of Both Worlds Within One Universe On A Collision Course With The Best Of Both Worlds Within A Separate Universe (Wherein Either Universe Is Intelligible To The Other).  It is locked in a vault next to the print for The Day The Clown Cried."

"..."

"You know, Paul & Koopsta sampled my band, Metallica, on 'Torture Chamber.'  They sampled the sitar intro from 'Wherever I May Roam,' which appeared on The Black Album, our 1991 album produced by Bob Rock.  Paul called me up and asked for sample clearance.  I says to Paul, 'Of course, brah. You know I'm bout this open content shit.'  That's word to Lessig."

"'Mystical styles of the ancient mutilations / Torture chambers filled with corpses in my basement.'"

"Sometimes I think being in Metallica is my torture chamber." :/

  1. damn speaking of dudes that sound like bone! koopsta's got that laid back version of bizzy's flow on lock although with the timeline as it is i don't know if one can definitively place the arrow of influence in either direction as clearly as with ruben

    1. I was disappointed, too. Always thought they sampled some New Age song.
