The fusion between rap and metal is too good. Such an amazing combination. He rocks so hard.

[@karateman1988]

Honestly my take when he started rapping was that he doesn't have much experience making lyrics that mesh with a band. But in his defense A.) He's a rapper not a singer and B.) The band was just playing the original in terms of what the instruments were doing. A new section would need to made to fit new lyrics. But the emotion is there so it doesn't feel like he's an outsider.

Usually I hate Rage covers because I feel like they never capture the spirit and energy of the songs as they were performed by RATM but this dude is channeling Zack de la Rocha perfectly for this song.

[@idselseno2306]

Spot on man. The energy is 100% on this cover. That real angst which others don't have.

[@tb3oh3]

Word

[@arminreep4056]

I think the hardest thing about covering them is they they're actually amazing at playing in the pocket. Rage is rhythm section out, so someone just playing the guitar part or just singing doesn't fully get it. You've gotta get several awesome and high energy dudes to play rage, because that's what rage is.

[@broncoroc27]

Brass Agaisnt do pretty good covers of RATM and its brass instruments. Maggie's Farm is really good

[@ronbaldwin5337]

The problem with this cover is that the energy is there %100 but he lacks the calm collected vocals that put the threat in them. Like it sounds like he's angry but anyone can be angry; not everyone can do something about it. Like the difference between someone ranting on facebook vs someone who would pull the trigger. Im not sure if I expressed that in a way that everyone can understand but in my opinion that's what I feel like it's lacking. Overall best cover ive seen out there. Well done

Ehhh I would say it’s interesting. I feel like maybe his voice was too strained and he tried to over power the instruments. With rage you have to try to become part of the instruments I feel. But it was good.

[@gianniluna6541]

He kicks ass man, definitely check out more of his stuff!

[@F2PMegaGod]

Not a Denzel stan, but do yourself a favor and listen to his stuff if you havent yet. He's a very complete artist, his music is usually very deep, and can even be considered the RATM of rap, from the most debated topics like social inequity and racism, to things people dont usually talk about like the suicide and selfish culture these days. Also, if you liked this i suggest you listen to a live stream Post Malone did around new year's time, covering a bunch of Nirvana songs, obviously not the same punl energy as ratm but like Denzel its arguably as good as the original.

It's funny because the reason the rapping fits (even though he was about a half beat off) is because Tom Morello actively channeled rapper cadences or dj scratching into his solos.
