I don't think even Denzel can salvage that band at this point.

I've always wondered why covers seem to be such a rare occurrence in hip hop... I mean, if this is any indication it could certainly work well

I dug the Sirens verse here a lot more than in the actual song on Taboo where he tried to use it as some definitive “The Blacker the Berry” type statement.

If Denzel went the live band route on whatever he does next I could see it being absolutely incredible. This is so authentic and has so much energy.

I wasn't sure if this was going to be any good but this is easily the best RATM cover I've ever heard and one of the best covers I've ever heard outright.

Denzel could easily put out a 5/5 in RATM style and I think he's already getting close to it

I hope Denzel moves in this direction. tbh, Black metal Terrorist was headed out of banger-rap into straight metal; can't wait to see that develop.

It's kind of comparing apples to oranges though? Like yeah Cornell is a better singer, cause... he's a singer. People don't like Zach because he has a pretty voice, they like him because he's a good lyricist and performer.

i personally think the verse he added honestly flowed pretty well, and even if the lyrics he was interpolating from “SIRENS” kinda trailed off flow-wise, yall gotta admit the lyrics make the song feel more modern in tone. idk i think denzel hit it out of the park with this perfomance, plus the “BLACK BALLOONS” performance with Sampa The Great was also nearly just as incredible

@art sounds like typical hardcore punk vibes to me, which is where zack’s background is pre-RATM so again, I’d say that you’re just expecting the wrong thing going in

to the people who don’t like his added verse to this, may i ask why??? bc i don’t feel like it’s out of place at all, so i don’t understand why people aren’t diggin it. besides its lyrics, which ig i could understand, but otherwise i think this performance/cover is damn near perfect tbh

Denzel Washington played a mean jazz trumpet in Mo' Better Blues. So yeah, maybe punk and metal isn't his thing.
