Linkin Park Busts a Rhyme...with Busta Rhymes?

I said hardly.

They played Ozzfest and toured with SOAD and of course played Summer Sanitarium but other than that I can't think of any hard rock bands they've played with. Hell even SOAD aren't that hard. I don't think festivals other than Ozzfest would count either because with festivals like Download and Rock Am Ring it's a mixture of rock, metal, punk, indie and alternative. To be honest I'd never have thought LP would have ever played Ozzfest, but then again at the time the band were only starting to gain commercial success. There'd be a full scale riot if they were ever added to the bill at Ozzfest again.

I stand by my earlier statement that I don't believe LP are or ever were Metal (unless 'Nu-Metal' counts). Some of their songs like One Step Closer, Don't Stay etc. are harder than others but that doesn't mean they're metal at all. Metallica released a live album with an entire orchestra playing backing music to their songs but you certainly wouldn't call them classical now would you.

 

+1 While they have some elements to the band and certain songs that you
MAY call metal (like No More Sorrow), they're not a full-fledged "metal" band.
Just like their not a hip-hop group for having rap songs.

 

Just wanted to correct some people. The producers are COOL AND DRE, not Dr. Dre. Look it up.

And yes, are there any pictures/vids/audios of d12 with LP on projekt rev?

 

None that I've ever found. I just know it was the Detroit PR2002 date and they came out on One Step Closer.

 

but maybe they can make an original song with Em/d12 one day, not collaborate on an existing song you know? shame how such a get together never got caught on tape or picutre =(

 

I agree with Hellflame,LP never ment to be one of the "full-metal-long-haired-head-banging" groups,but it seems like people want them to be.They have made it clear from their 1st album that they want to work with diferent styles of music,and yet people think their change at MTM is "completely strange"...I never saw anyone complain for not having any ballants on their previous records (except BTH),but now everyone complains about MTM having too many of them.

As for the Busta Rhymes thing,i hope it turns out to be as good as their previous works with rappers

 

sounds good

 

I agree. Moreover, I really don't like the idea of LP collaborating with mainstream rapper(s).

 

Maybe, I know Eminem mite be having a album coming out early next year, and D12 is in the process of making an album..who knows whats gonna happen

 

Every day I think about how it be to record a track that will have my favourite band and my favourite raper on it........Eminem feat.LP......or......LP feat.Eminem.........such a boom,maybe it`s possible.Song with BR,that is a C4 in my car,blow everything around."Its Going Down" is something that noone will make again...........LP........>>>>go,just do it...........

 

What's everyone's problem with LP collaborating with Hip-Hop artists?

You guys need to realise that even though LP have evolved their style, Hip-Hop is still one of the major styles of music they enbed into their music. Even if there's absolutely no rapping at all on the next album, there'll still be Hip-Hop elements etc.

 

Another words...........LP and BR.....why not?

 

If they're gonna do this I wish it would be with someone like Lupe, not a huge Busta fan

 

Never even heard this guy

 

Yeah, basically there are plenty of better MCs they could work with if any.

 

The reason I want to hear this track so bad is because of what it's about it, making it and not making it. I can't wait for it to come out.

there in case ppl are lazy

the bottom has an update saying busta's rep denies the collaboration as official (and almost seemingly like it's not even really planned at all besides in busta's mind).

That's a shame, I really would have liked to have heard how that sounded...
