10 Worst Music Collaborations Of All Time
2. Korn/Limp Bizkit
Korn don't really seem to get enough credit in the metal world. At a time when metal was kind of waning, these misfits ended up kickstarting the nu metal scene on their first handful of records, with songs that tapped into that same kind of loneliness and sorrow that kids could relate to. Then again, if they have songs like this in their back catalog, you can understand why it's hard to take this band all that seriously sometimes.
Though Follow the Leader was the moment where Korn's popularity reached a high point, All in the Family showed them making a few new friends in all the wrong places. Instead of stepping up to the big leagues, this song gets put into the bargain bin once you realize what's going on. Rather than the angsty songs about alienation, this is a full on rap battle diss track Jonathan Davis sings with Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit, where they sprinkle in more disses and borderline homophobic jokes as they can throughout their verses.
One thing that can save this is the instrumental, but even that seems phoned in, with the emphasis being firmly on these guys as they try their best to one-up each other in the studio. Despite having more talent than they were given credit for, All in the Family feels like it was written more to amuse the musicians involved rather than actually entertain the public.
