Rap Metal's Not Dead!

[Boomside]

Some of us haven't been in a band in a while, and we're kind of psyched about this. We're called Boomside (named for a drug-infested low-income housing complex where we're from.) It's four best friends just turnin' up and having fun. I'm generally not into rap metal, mostly because either the rapper and/or band are wack, but I think we do it right.

This is one of the first times that Boomside is being broadcast publicly. It's certainly not for everybody. However, there's more to come - not all heavy and with a wider variety of flavors than this song indicates. I feel like our main audience would most likely be 14-24 year olds who like hoodrat shit.

With that being said, here it is, our first music video!

Scumbag Jim is too much like Dimebag Darrell. I recommend he change his name to, James, Scum of the Earth.

Thør plays the drums? Such a renaissance man.

No doubt. Though it would help if you also took a time machine back to 1999.

Speaking of which, are you old enough to be posting here? Those names are pure high school freshman.

It'd be an honour to go to a show where Thor played.

But he'd have to do it for May right? As it's perfect for Mother's Day evidentially.

Yep. We played a few BC tunes back in the day.

 

[Killswitch]

Be Affraid is the strongest track so far. Some of the others are underproduced though so...

Right on dudes.

 

[Skiddles2014]

The song sucks, so does the band.

 

[Wrong Element]

Yeah, but I don't remember him rapping much on that record (it's been a while since I heard any of it). And that was actual hard rock, not that sludgy-sounding rap metal shit.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Ice-T's the lead vocalist. He vocalizes to the point they banned the record Body Count from airplay.



Im listening to some right now.

You would have to have been a metal influenced teen in the mid/late 90's to understand....and know a thing or two about guitars and NuMetal/raprock.

Mid nineties I was 35 working for a professional drag racing team doing 1/4 ounce a coke per day and my best friend Barbie owned a high end escort agency.

Good times. Those.

I hit the wall, Barbara got busted and here we are.

Is...that a sexual innuendo?

Or do you mean you literally crashed into a wall while racing, and Barbie got busted for running a prostitution ring? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/images/smilies/cookie.gif

No. I did coke to the point where you have to stop. Immediately. Like hitting a wall. Yes she got busted but like many before her and after her she had a book with the right names in it so she got off very easy.

She was a gas. Started out working at this cool massage parlor with gorgeous girls. I would hang out and make bloody marys all day.
