Rage Against The Machine is basically a rapper (Zach De La Rocha) over a hard rock band, always political. They came out starting in 1992. The lyrics here are all original except for that double-time section; that was all Denzel in place of where the guitar solo originally went. This is a generally respected cover of the song, being a pretty fair example of what it sounds like, while also bringing something new to it. Judging by your reaction here (and you mentioning liking rap/rock earlier), I think you'd love just about any track by RatM.

Yo KSO, There's never a bad time to grow your channel. It doesn't have to be failing to benefit from broader horizons and bringing eclectic heads and different genre fans together. You already mixed it up with international artists and crossover acts like Ren and Ed Sheeran so Rock isn't a big step. Rage Against the Machine is like a gateway drug for hip hop heads to get into rock as the mixed race front man, Zack De La Rocha raps and at a high level of lyricism and flow too. I'd be shocked if you didn't like it fr fr. Personally, I've enjoyed your reactions to a variety of stuff, starting with UK reactions but not limited to. I'm an eclectic fan myself and would enjoy your reactions to everything from Afrobeat to classical Indian ragas. I'm probably not your typical subscriber though so you do you as you always will (which is why I follow you, I appreciate your realness as well as your insight)

Almost certain RATM planted the Hip-Hop seed in my head. WEIRDLY it was freakin Tool that made me appreciate Hip-Hop lyrics a helluva lot more. Anyway, apologies for the unsolicited info - I fell on my head as a child.

Wow I did NOT expect to see you react to this, did a double take when I saw it in my feed. I only know you for your rap reactions, but as someone who loves Rage I can say Denzel fully embodied Zach in this performance. So impressive.

I'm SO HERE for you checking out RAtM. I missed them in the 90s cuz I'm an acoustic folk person and in the 90s I was *deep* into that. But I worked at a music store for like 4 yrs so there was all kinds of music I was exposed to that I'd have never heard otherwise, and RAtM was one that stuck with me until they'd worked their way into my *political* consciousness past my little girl fears of how "scary" and "angry" they sounded.

Ok, if you don’t know Rage Against The Machine, you need to go learn!! This cover is honestly nothing special - it’s an exact copy of Rage - everything good about this is because of the original.

Please go react to Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name of- I beg!

Hahaha. Those Rage subs are a real thing. Rage Against the Machine is the real deal. They are rock, but they are hip-hop too. The frontman Zach de La Rocha could stand with any rapper in the 90’s when this song was out. These are Rage lyrics, but Denzel threw a verse in here. If you check out Denzel Curry, I’d recommend the trilogy of videos, 1) Black Balloons, 2) Clout Cobain, 3) Vengeance. Very underrated video trilogy. They all tell an amazing story.

KSO. You have to check out Rage. You will absolutely love their music. All the socio/political issues they sang about in the 90s are still just as valid today. The shit he is saying sounds like he wrote it right now. Zach has done songs with Killer Mike. He is very much a rapper. They have amazing funky grooves to their music and Tom Morello is one of the greatest guitarist of all time. I truly hope you check out RATM. The song you just listened to is about our military spending. I would love to see you react to the original with the lyrics. You will be hooked. “Killing in the name of” is about racist cops. “Down Rodeo” is about classism and racism. They do not have a bad song.
