You heard that correctly. In the background of what could possibly be the single most cliche rap song you've ever listened to, is the closing riff from "Credence". Mother of shit. This isn't even a particularly good rap song either. This guy must be one of the "sucka MC's" that the established rap groups are all talking about. Money and hoes? Really? I forgot it was still 2002, jerkoff.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's much an artist can do about some untalented, unoriginal urban lyricist sampling music as long as he gives proper credit for the track he used. This "TKO Capone" guy even went to the lengths of crediting Opeth in the video title on YouTube. Which is kind of like crediting your mother for you becoming a serial rapist.
Thanks to Gun Shy Assassin for finding this.
What's next? Is Lil' Wayne gonna come out with an Amon Amarth cover? That would be the day I give up on music as a whole and contemplate suicide.

The song was actually pretty descent to be honest... Welcome to the music industry Metal heads.... Tko Capone has also done another hip hop song using Opeth's song called Burden... And then he uses a song by Tori Amos called Father Lucifer... I guess he likes different types of genres though as a artist/producer he's very unoriginal at creating his own music from scratch.
ReplyDeleteIn my music industry... we write our own music... thanks for sharing... an ellipsis is not a proper replacement for every form of punctuation... just thought you should... kn...ow...
ReplyDeleteI am deeply enraged!! I could eat a baby any second from now!!!
ReplyDeleteOpeth is quite possibly my favorite band. For some reason I just still can't give a shit. I'm sure TKO capone would like to thank both you and Gunshy Assassin for the extra exposure.
ReplyDeleteActually, my bad. The above comment is retarded. I must have forgotten which blog I'm on.
ReplyDeleteActually, no, this is not legal. You can't sample without permission, even though people do it all the time. If he had made his own recording of the riff, that would be different.
ReplyDeleteEh, it's not a bad attempt, but ultimately falls flat, though many props must go to a rapper for knowing about Opeth through more than a cursory mention and namedropping.
ReplyDeleteAnother rapper did the same thing with a King Crimson song. Rap should not be allowed near any type of rock.
