Love Within Temptation. Not a fan of Rap. But God Damn, this works. One of my favorite tracks on the album.

[@fudgecakesss]

Some rap is good. I personally like songs such ans "Stan" and "Beautiful." But Gangster rap is low. Most rap fans don't listen to the introspective, philosophical stuff, or they don't care.

[@pondguru]

fudgecakesss Early MNM stuff is fine but today it all seems to be about money, cars, bitches etc. which is so boring and repetitive and the videos for much of mainstream music (not just rap) is over sexualized which also gets wearing. I tend to hunt out more obscure artists who are in it for the music.

[@Kilkas710]

fudgecakesss what about Wu Tang... RZA is only one member and hes one of the most progressive philosophical people living. There are good and bad smart and stupid people everywhere. I know what youre trying to say, but ehh

[@StefaniaCzech]

I agree, it works, makes rap sound awesome! WT makes anything sound awesome!

[@CloudMountainJuror]

Same here. I was a bit nervous (though, I won't lie, also interested) going in, but it turned out surprisingly well. One of the highlights of the album for me.

[@lawfulwaffle1471]

Im glad to see that Xzibit is back on the rap scene, and this song was a great way to return Best song on the album

[@Racye-bf7vn]

I'm with you, LOVE how they came together for this one. Definitely going to buy the album.

[@FeministCatwoman]

All the people saying they hate rap make the same mistake I used to. Rap isn't all bad, when it started out it was about real people facing struggles, and there's good songs that happen to be by rap artists and have a positive message. But rap music that's about ego and hoes and money? Yeah, that's bullshit, I agree.

[@Blueglitter73]

+Mikihara I absolutely agree with you. I listen to songs with rap that seems like a poem or has a meaning. That's the kind of rap I like. Popular rap that's about ego and hoes and money like you said, is pointless to me. I don't listen to that kind of rap, because it irks me how selfish and vulgar they sound.

[@FeministCatwoman]

Starfire★Uchiha I tend to get especially turned off by all the racist slurs in that particular genre of rap. Not to mention the plethora of rappers, male and female, who talk about abuse and rape and assault in their music like it's all a joke.

[@Blueglitter73]

I don't know why that genre of rap is popular. I don't know why people like to listen to that stuff. Maybe they are influenced in wanting to become those kind of rappers, thinking that it's "cool". Just wondering.

[@Sarubotai]

+Mikihara not to be a racist or anything, but that kind of rap is mostly black rap nowadays

[@leooberon9268]

People that say they hate rap need to listen to songs like fragile or noose but tech n9ne. Kings never die or mocking bird by eminem. Alone by iniquity rhymes. That has a lot of meaning to it

[@CarusioMystWolf]

My wife started getting sick several years ago. The doctors said her kidneys were too badly damaged, and she could not survive a transplant. After years, she passed away in May of this year. I had slowly started to put myself in that dark place Xzibit seems to be in in the main video for this song... but recently... I have changed...This song is one of a few that helped pull me from that place... And we run~

[@KillerkeksLoL]

Im really sry for you man, stay strong. Gosh started crying now fuck... I know it sucks really deeply if the person you love disappears. Wish you the best.

[@lunacrescentmoon2142]

CarusioMystWolf stay strong bro I understand it hurts when someone disappears in your life that you love dearly it's hard stay strong though don't let the pain take over you RIP your wife may she rest in peace 😔

[@rxhx]

may this epic song keep you going strong

[@pivgiv]

My wife was diagnosed with kidney failure 2yrs ago. I'm sorry for your loss.

[@pjcaradoc]

*Yo dawg, I heard you like rap and symphonic metal. So we put a rapper in your symphonic metal, so you can rap while you metal*

[@mvreventon]

Lol, good one

[@rakayasserra]

Insert smiling Xzibit picture 🤣

[@dontnothing8544]

public safety warning : WINDY KUJAWA STALKING and MUNCHAUSEN BY PROXY (daughter about age 4) chain text please send to others thank very much please help me fight my stalker and wire taping .....

[@rinnivaughan]

this band never ceases to amaze me just love em.

[@UndeadSon]

This... works. And not jut works, but sounds really cool actually. 0-0

[@anonimz2244]

I wasn't expecting that rap part, but damn it works

[@WalterWhite-pb6hh]

I hate rap and I love metal. But I love rap combined with metal so I instantly loved this song.

[@georgehovhannisyan8415]

Walter White i hate both metal and rap but i likes soft rock like evanescense bring me to life

[@kiarag.2131]

Walter White Me too :)

[@kiarag.2131]

Walter White Me too :)

[@FallofDarkness55-Resurrected]

Walter White Not me. Rap is crap. I prefer the (no rap) version.

[@Agonymous]

Walter White Haha same here. I love this song and I hate rap but this rap is perfect!

[@FruityHachi]

all those metal heads who complain about rapping being in a metal song, should really be ashamed of themselves. that´s one of the things what´s wrong with society - being stuck in a box, too damn stubborn to try something different and ignorant towards other genres. it´s ok to not like a particular rap, but it´s not ok to diss the entire genre, and saying it has no place in metal. go listen to rage against the machine and stop being so damn close-minded.

[@ZeroMatrixGuyver]

In truth, I agree whole heartedly (Dunno iffen that's the right wording, but meh). In fact, the song is beautiful on it's own, but the rapping from Xzibit fits the song and the tempo quite well. I tip my hat to ye, FruityHachi. It gives me hope to see that there is still people out there that take a step back and look at the whole picture =D. Once more, I tip my hat to ye, good person. XD

[@gumplenet]

I love hearing rap/hip hop mixed with metal. Heaps of bands have done it in the past like Public Enemy & Anthrax for example and it's come out awesome :)

[@ArtWithSR]

ZeroMatrixGuyver as long as it fits the song and tempo. "a wild rapper appears" is the thing i usually hate. i'm not a fan of rap in general, but when it's done correctly i like it, like this song!

[@RasmuslaCour4]

Word! X to the Z

[@lynyrd47]

It's not being close-minded, it's called "not liking rap music." Trust me, I've given rap several chances but it has done nothing but make my ears hurt. The rapping in this song is no exception.

[@xkarolynx]

C'mon guys, get over your pride and face it; the rapping is awesome in this song! Respect to WT and Xzibit!

[@SilentDrifterGT]

I just wish this song was a little longer. Can't stop listening to it

[@NoahXgameing]

ikr me too!!!!!!!!!!!!! plus i wish i could i find slow mo cause he raps too fast

[@ally.kat.3459]

DarkLiteNoah yeah he raps too fast

[@SilentDrifterGT]

In the album it's between Dangerous and Paradise. Which both songs are around 5 minutes long. With this in the middle, to me, it feels even shorter than what it really is.

[@DarkusaurusRexStuff]

I usually stay away from today's rap genre... But I'm a huge fan of mixed styles. And holy hell, this song is quite nice. The high contrast of the voices, rhythm and beats are what makes things like this so good.

[@Doogie.Foodie]

There are people out there who hate metal and that is worshiping evil. There are people who hate rap/hip-hop and think that they rap about b!tches and drugs. We have to learn to respect each other. We cannot be stereotypical about a certain genre. I like many different genres and I love when artists come together and create something new. For those of you who hate a certain genre go give them a chance it's not going to hurt.

[@nosalis]

2:00 blown away! never liked rap, but love this!

[@lunacrescentmoon2142]

Patrik Marek I love this I think it's well done

[@michaelvanover7269]

When I first saw that Xzibit would be featured in this song, I knew that it would be fantastic, and it is, but I also knew that it would really bring out all of the people that strictly listen to metal and anything rap or even close to it is pure evil. People seem to (somehow) not understand why this album is called Hydra. Hydras have several heads - and this album has several styles off music. Only a few songs on Hydra would I actually consider "metal," but the diversity is why I really love this album. Featuring Xzibit on the album was an excellent decision and "And We Run" is one of my favorite songs on the album (with Silver Moonlight, Let Us Burn, Tell Me Why, Paradise, and Dog Days). It isn't my #1 favorite Within Temptation album, but I definitely love it and its diversity.

[@AAAbattery726]

completely agree with this comment/analysis. Loved the fact that you connected the Hydra's heads to the diversity of featured vocalists in this album. Agreed, it isn't my favorite WT album (simply because it doesn't flow as well as other albums), but the songs on the album and the diversity WT brings out just goes to show that they are true musicians. Yes, there are genres in music, but to simply say that two genres cannot mesh together is simply shallow-minded. This is a beautiful track and easily one of my favorite songs ever written by them. Thank you for your insight!

[@roxyndra]

amen

[@maeliegoimard2570]

I have discover this song with the Designation : Miracle's series, but I'm actually a big fan of this beautiful song !

[@radhaniwargi7173]

me too!!

[@pathhapp]

In a sane world this song wouldn't exist. Thank God we live in an insane world, then, a place where symphonic metal bands and rappers work together for musical harmony and genius! Within Temptation get madder with every record and I just hope they bring Xzibit and Taja onstage in April. This is fucking awesome, bring on the tour!

[@louiseanderson1832]

Xzibit pimped within temptations song I love this! It shouldn't work but omg it does!

[@s_crylly7751]

Just now finding this band. Gold. Those vocals are ridiculous.

[@cancelled_user]

Check their first 4 albums. This rap junk is a sell out to make them more commercially successful, but it's not what the band used to be.

[@Kamerian]

Normally, I turn my nose up to any kind of hip-hop or rap with disdain...normally. What WT has done here, I find to be utterly amazing! They have such a gift of experimentation within their genre, and to have included rap, in this case, has created something I find to be truly epic...blows my mind.

[@Deluxo]

i love this way to much than i actually should, even though i always respected xzibit music

[@Darkanesha]

Okey, after hearing it a thousand times I've come to the conclusion that I actually like it. I think the rap parts with the background vocals from Sharon make it kind of especial.

[@kerrang2757]

the best track from the album, the chorus is so beautiful..

[@cancelled_user]

If this is the best track, then I'm really glad I didn't buy that album.

[@LetsleyPlays]

Metal + Rap = YES! ^_^

[@essymuffins]

LetsleyPlays That is basically what Linkin Park is...they've found a way to mix heavy rock and rap into on beautiful synthesis.

[@BlazeMaster]

LetsleyPlays thats a good interaction , europe and america notice how they sing in different language despite singing in english

[@lafierose]

After listening to the whole entire album, I must say it works. I, at first, was like, "Wha...?" Then I listened to it in the context of the album and I must say it's a good song. Music may be presented in a box but, it does not always have to follow what's in the box and be confined to it. Music is free flowing.

[@Deborah122000]

This song makes me happy. Gives me energy. Never heard of Xzibit before, but love the rap part. Great job!!!

[@Sanguiluna]

Yo dawg. we heard you like Within Temptation! So we uploaded this song to youtube so that after you get the album on iTunes like a loyal Within Temptation fan and you go on youtube, you can listen to Within Temptation while you listen to Within Temptation!

[@haridelle]

I went to Amazon instead and ordered a big box of WT goodness :D

[@redbearsixx]

nothing is better than Within Temptation with some more Within Temptation

[@plipster1]

If their music wasn't on youtube I wouldn't know about it today. if I didn't know about it, thats one less sale. and something tells me I'm not the only one.

[@redbearsixx]

Philip Sibly I am forever in debt to youtube for introducing me to WT

[@Meg_88]

LOVE IT!!! Xzbit and WT totally rocked the shit out of this song!! Can't wait for the official video!!!

[@danielduszynski923]

Xzibit and Within Temptation mix surprisingly good.

[@bradys9402]

Cool mix. I didn’t even know this song existed until I heard the rap/metal collab episode of the heavy with Andrew and Don

[@The_Nightsong]

I don't understand why some people don't like this. I looooove this song!!!

[@CoproManiac]

Let me put in into context for you. Check some of the music (which I looooooove) on my channel. Hope this helps you understand.

[@Naelodia]

I've been WT's fan for about 10 years, i know they've changed but I'm so proud of how far they've come. They were and amazing gothic metal band, then a great symphonic rock/metal act and this is nothing but great nü metal piece for the record... Now that they're at the peak of their carreer i can't be anything but happy for them and thankful for years of great music.

[@Racye-bf7vn]

LOVE this song, great work Within Temptation and X!

[@reilatargaryen9763]

This song is fucking amazing, the video too. I'm a huge fan of Within Temptation, having Xzibit featured on one of their tracks was a big surprise, but a welcome one.

[@pilotvintorius6393]

damn they nailed it. SO good

[@madame360]

I never thought they would ever use rap but it comes together quite beautifully. I am surprised and I love it. I like how they are mixing it up very nice! :)

[@henrihamalainen2377]

I think the rap parts fit pretty damn well to this song

[@skeletankmcgraw7343]

Am I the only one who feels the lyrics to this song is an almost perfect representation of the kinds of things Kanye West has been talking about recently? Especially the the lyrics of the extended Xzibit verse in particular.

[@RedRose-kj3dz]

What a great combination they sound amazing

[@lukamatosic4741]

I think the song is really good, xzibit is the man.

[@LarsVibstad]

Im a metallhead, i dont like rap, but this stuff right here, changed my life👍

[@elinarumenova5796]

love themmm so much !

[@AngelOfKawaii87]

I dont like rap,only with rock,just as Linkin Park,but this is awesome,Within Temptation did a great job,im a big fan of Linkin Park & Within Temptation,their both bands with experience

[@ytsejam2011]

This sounds pretty sick, my favorite song on the album. I like how WT likes to try new things and change their sound, so not every album sounds the same. Good Stuff.

[@IanKGP]

I actually listened to Xzibit years before Within Temptation so when I heard in an interview with Sharon that WT had collaborated with Xzibit I was pleasantly surprised. Very good song indeed!

[@rxhx]

absolutely gorgeous song and perfectly fitting with the rap

[@DidaDidatoto]

This is a mix of métal and RAP . I love It !!!

[@i_will_not_elaborate]

Me, scrolling through KZbin search: I just need the perfect Within Temptation so-- featuring Xzibit?!

[@Qbl0]

Awesome song! Xzibit sounds so damn awesome! And so does Sharon!!

[@coltwest9033]

SUBSCRIBED BCOZ OF THIS MASTERPIECE. TNX

[@XMANinjaTurtle]

Can't wait to see them in concert in La in Sept..... So excited, what am I going to wear??? Going to be awesome!!!!!!!

[@Jinzox91]

The Best WT Song Ever

[@riddlah194]

I've seen this live twice, it's actually a really fun song :)

[@doohresarf321]

A surprising number of people are commenting on how much they hate rap. What do you mean you "hate rap". How could you possibly write off an entire genre, especially one that has merged with rock so well in the past 20 years. If you don't like the way Xzibit's sections work with the song than say so. Please don't say the song is no good because you hate rap. Anyway, pretty good song. Xzibit did a good job, almost reminded me of Tech 9.

[@TheSunDownProject]

I didn't expect Within Temptation would come up with all these awesome features :)

[@roseyrose2280]

I was leery about the incorporation of rap, but this actually exceeds my expectation. Good song!

[@lazarkrstic8578]

This is awesome! Love this experimenting WT's been doing :D

[@nicsxmariexx9167]

Absolutely love this song

[@chloeheinlen8293]

I usually hate rap. But this is AMAZING.

[@przemekchociaj5234]

sposób w jaki Sharon śpiewa słowa "lonely" i "killing" mnie po prostu rozwalił ... niewiele jest wokalistek które tak pięknie łamią głos...

[@snakeyurga]

Афигеть просто как сочетаются рэп и Within Temptation. Видать этот альбом сплощные дуэты!!! Клип бы на эту песню. Лайк за песню.

[@wickikawa2956]

Ich werde mir auf jeden Fall das Album Hydra holen , einfach nur geil

[@poisonedtongues5398]

Helemaal leuk joh!

[@fatty1040]

Honestly staying in a music type is your enemy. Their are many songs out there from different genres that have given me the chills. Its really amazing how music is

[@Blueglitter73]

the rap part has very meaningful lines. So poetic I love it.

[@RedEye0815]

The letter "P" in "RAP" stands for "poetry". So, yeah...:D

[@sierradelta6524]

What an utterly amazing track!!

[@Skarto]

I love this song. Big thx to Xibit:)

[@Yanga617]

Hip hip and symphonic metal, my two favorite genres fused into one brilliant song.

[@jonnyracer3257]

Canzone stupenda e ottima parte rap! Ti amo Sharon!

[@unfortunatewitnessX]

This song is beautiful. I don't care what anyone says, Xzibit rapping in this song makes it beautiful!

Fave song on Album...Video to be released on May 23rd...nothing like throwing a curve ball at your fans..unexpected but AWESOME..Kudos to Within Temptation and Xzibit...best curve ball I have heard in a LONG time!!!

[@d8upa]

I enjoy a good genre mix!

[@kirstiepayne4159]

This rap is actually meaningful, with a message about strength. Not like its about hoes and cars, guys. Lighten up.

[@jankoprivnik9100]

[@JeroxB]

Actually got goose bumps listening to this, so yeah, it works xD.

[@monikamysza1983]

ZAJEBISTE

[@Miriada87]

I usually don't really appreciate this kind of mixing genres, but what can I say, this song is pretty awesome...Probably one of my favorites from the album....

[@11Jolie]

Love this song!!!

[@danielariff8324]

i love this song

[@djoetma]

I actually like the rap. You need to do stuff different if you want to set yourself apart from the rest. The fact that a lot of goth-oriented people are as conservative and narowminded as fuck, doesn;t mean it's a bad choice. However, the orchestral part doesn't come through enough. Especially in the part where Xzibit's voice is leading. It just doesn't fit. It the chorus it's ok. But they should only have done it towards the end of the song...

[@MikeMahleraggressivestrength]

great song!

[@janalillmans2832]

I hate rap, I hate this type of music, but this is something amazing..

[@mauricebenink]

sharon, damm yust love her voice. Even life she doesnt have a single note wrong, mind gets blows by this her voice is yust amazing

Open your minds, it is realy good fusion. I do not admire rap, but this song is awesome, it is not only about cooperation of artists

[@mrquin89]

Great song
