Riders On Da Storm, ma homies!

Just when you thought modern music couldn't get more pathetic, Snoop Dogg made a remix of the masterpiece "Riders on the Storm". Most people are probably ready to gut the man alive, but I listened to it, and while yes, it's littered with mindless rap crap, the urban revamp is pretty funny. I guess it was done for the Need For Speed 2 Underground video game, hence the irreverent "car racing" lyrics Snoop slaps on top of it, which I don't like that much, but just to hear Jim crooning it out over that crunk beat is pretty hilarious!

Has anyone else heard Korn cover, then steal the solo from ABitW Pt. 2? Awful stuff. I think they made crap of some other songs by Pink Floyd, but I don't want to get into it too much.

Though I don't remember the whisperings of "ride, ride, ride" in the chorus the first time around.

Bugger me. Another classic hopelessly slaughtered.

How about some original work, Snoop? Oh wait, you've probably ran out of things that rhyme with "bitch," huh?

You are not a musician unless you can/do play an instrument, or at least sing.

I think that the guy's quite talented. Can't claim to own any of his stuff, mind.
