Korn’s Fieldy offers no ‘Rock-N-Roll’ in ‘Gangster’
~The latest endeavor from the popular rap-rock band’s bassist is more rap than rock
....What makes a "Rock-N-Roll Gangster?" Well, for Fieldy’s Dreams, it’s not rock-n-roll.
"Rock-N-Roll Gang-ster," the debut album from Fieldy’s Dreams (better known as just Fieldy, the bassist for the hugely successful rap-rock band Korn) is largely a hip-hop record.
Without his band, the ingredients that make up Korn, like their thunderous guitars, loud, emotional vocals and the occasional scratch, are noticeably absent. Even Fieldy leaves his bass at home.
So if rock is what you want, don’t go here, but if you’re looking for rap or hip-hop, move right ahead.
For his first foray into rap, Fieldy digs deep into his past influences.
On "You Saved Me (From Being Crazy)" he incorporates the Rick James-penned "Mary Jane" and traces of Whodini’s classic, "The Freaks Come Out At Night," on "Child Vigilante."
But for the most part, the album suffers from oft-used rap cliches.
Tracks about pimpin’, smokin’ out, and pimpin’ some more are all too prevalent.
On "Put a Week On It" and "Comin From a Friend," Fieldy aims at stealing Eminem’s title for most misogynist lyricist.
Additionally, there is not one but three odes to marijuana on this album with "Are You Talkin To Me," "You Saved Me (From Being Crazy)" and "One Love," all being worthy candidates for this year’s High Times Magazine’s Doobie Awards.
With lyrics like "Marijuana, you’re the best," Fieldy makes it clear that pot is his controlled substance of choice.
Fieldy would have you believe he was in the same league as original leaf connoisseur’s Cypress Hill, but unlike his rhyming So-Cal counterparts, Fieldy breaks no new ground.
His lyrics are trite and apolitical, lacking the originality of the incomparable Cypress Hill.
Fieldy’s rhyming ability is also lacking, which is more evident on tracks like "Sugar Coated," where he raps alongside Tre from the Pharcyde.
The highlights of the album are few and far-between, but "Just For Now" features Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis and is by far the catchiest song on the album.
With Davis’ vocals and the accompanying percussion arrangement, the song is lifted above the rest of the album’s mediocrity.
The last track, "Do What You Feel," is the closest thing to Korn on the album.The lyrics are repetitive, but the music is fierce and is the only song to get your rock on.For what it lacks in originality, the record makes up for it with its energy.
"Rock-N-Roll Gangster" is a party record if you’ve ever heard one. So even if you don’t wear a "white tee, fresh Chucks, and khakis" like Fieldy, you can at least party like him. |
