The Kennedy Soundtrack

Tale Of 2 Cities

Label: Instant Karma Records Release Date: 01/07/2002

2125
-Raz- by Raziq Rauf August 3rd, 2002

I hate to write about how trite nu-metal is and how all Da Kidz are little bastards but sadly it’s all too true. My god, I almost forgot I was listening to this. It is quite upsetting that public uproar can be triggered by something as lame as this. Some Welsh teenager rapping over scratched hip-hop beats and metal guitars. I know I don’t need to say any more to describe this to you. I wish I could say it was different. It’s not, though.

This is what has made people hate nu-metal. I wish it had never happened. I liked the clique. I liked it when it was still different. I liked it when the crap didn’t mingle. I liked the purity. Now all we get is more of the same. More of this. I’m sick of it.
