The Chicago Metal band wants to win the Superbowl superstar for cooperation.
The chances of success for this project are likely to be at a maximum of zero percent, but: Questions costs nothing. And so David Draiman, singer of the metal band Disturbed, reported in an interview with the radio station Q101 from his hometown Chicago about a song on which his group is currently working that “needs a strong rapper”. He believes that Kendrick Lamar would be a suitable candidate.
Draiman described the song as “The Modern ‘Walk This Way’ or ‘Bring the Noise'”. In this way, he refers to Run-DMC’s borderpring sprinkling 1986 remake of the Aerosmith classic of the same name “Walk This Way”, or the five-year-old cover version of the New York Thrash-Metal Institution Anthrax of the public-Enemy hits “Bring the NOISE”.
Disturbed feat. Kendrick Lamar?
Draiman thus recorded a thread from Q101, which according to Lamar’s perfomance during this year’s Superbowl half-time break a mash-up from his “Humble” and “Down with the Sickness” from Disturbed onto the net as “The Mashup that no one asked for” .
Draiman said: “Do you know what? This is actually something we thought about. And Kendrick is at the top of the list. ” Draiman explained: “We have this track there. It is part of our new material, this new album that we have in the pipeline … This is about unity. It’s about bringing people together. And it takes a strong rapper, whoever that may be, and Kendrick would definitely be a great person to work with him. I would love to do that. We would love to do that. “
The job offer is standing
After that, Draiman Lamar directly made the job offer: “Kendrick, if you are interested, let’s get started and shock the world a little. Let all of us show that we have more in common than separates us. ” Draiman said he tried to reach Lamar via Instagram comments, but he did not know whether Lamar had seen his message. In any case, Lamar has not yet answered – which should also be due to the fact that the acts could simply not meet each other at eye level.
Although both are fairly equal in their album heels and have sold around 17 million albums worldwide, Lamar has an incomparable cultural -defining force that manifested itself in numerous hits such as “N95”, “Not Like Us” and “Squable Up”. Disturbed, on the other hand, are known to the general public, especially for its only hit “The Sound of Silence”, but huge hit in Germany, a bombastic cover version by Simon & Garfunkel, which stayed in the local top for 47 weeks ago and space two achieved.
