Rhymes & Screams

Linkin Park are one of the leading acts in the Nu-metal scene. They have been around since the late 90s and continue making music today, even after lead vocalist Chester Bennigton’s death in 2017. During their career they have collaborated with numerous artists and even made a whole mashup album called “Collision Course” with east-coast rap legend Jay-Z.

The best song from that album is in my opinion “Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer”. It is a great combination of Jay-z’s rapping and Linkin Park’s great rock/electronica style. I was amazed at how good the final product turned out to be. That, of course, shouldn’t be a surprise, because bands like Rage Against The Machine and Body Count are the evidence that rap and rock blend perfectly.

Jay-Z’s harsh lyrics, Mike Shinoda’s amazing flow, Chester Bennington’s primal screams and the violent guitars all come together to form one bad-ass rocking song. I would recommend this song to all rock and hip-hop fans: it’s a treat you will definitely enjoy!
