Ow, my frickin’ ears: Rapper Danny Brown Butchers “Freak On A Leash” by Korn

Oh, Danny boy. What have you done? At a recent show Danny Brown tried to do a cover of Korn’s quintessential hit Freak On A Leash, which sounds like something you would hear at a karaoke bar in a shady part of town at 3am.

Can you do the Danny Brown challenge? Try watching this video from start to finish without cringing or blocking your ears. I bet you can’t do it. #dannybrownchallenge

Wait until 2:30 when a cheap Jonathon Davis imitator comes out from behind the stage to do the scat part. Except in this case, scat literally means shit. Although, props to the band who did the instrumentation part well.

I am all for crossover artists into heavier genres like metal. Denzel Curry did one of the best covers of Bulls on Parade by Rage Against The Machine.

Pay attention, Danny. This is how you do a cover in your own style without it sounding like an abortion. Maybe give Denzel a call.

The members of Korn are rolling in their graves, and they’re not even dead yet.
