10 Musical Collaborations That Didn't Really Work

If you go back and look at the golden era of nu metal, you're going to see a whole lot of cringe. Although there were some standouts like Linkin Park and System of a Down leading the charge, the whiny set like Staind just wasn't all that fun to listen to. But if All in the Family is what nu metal sounds like when it's having fun, they might want to go back to the whiny stuff.

Coming towards the tail end of Follow the Leader, this was Korn goofing off in the studio with a rap battle between Jonathan Davis and Fred Durst. While Fred's track record was already a little spotty in Limp Bizkit's catalog, this is probably the one nu metal song that has aged the worst, as most of their rhymes are just him making gay jokes Davis for 3 minutes. Jonathan's rhymes aren't that much better either, with most of this sounding like all of the training rap scenes in 8 Mile if they were just played for laughs.

And it doesn't stop there, with Fred trying to spit "vicious" bars and coming up with "korn on the cob" as one his best disses. If nu metal already had a bad reputation, this is where the entire genre started its real downslide. I mean, when you go for something fun and all you can come up with is subpar dad jokes, you know you've crossed the line somewhere.
