Jonathan Davis

Got Money (Lil Wayne Cover) (Video)

September 16, 2008 11:50 a.m. by Andrew Winistorfer

Hey, here’s a terrible idea: what would happen if a dried-up rap-rocker joined forces with a guy from Slipknot and recorded a Lil Wayne cover? Would the sound literally decimate your eardrum?

 

Well, it turns out that wasn’t just an awful idea: it’s a horribly real reality, as Jonathan Davis of Korn has covered “Got Money” by Lil Wayne apparently just for kicks. Slipknot’s Jim Root helps out in an undetermined way, and Davis’ side crew SFA presumably delivers the chooga-chooga abomination of a beat.

 

Listen at your own risk. Download at detriment to your cred. (Seriously, you can download this for free. I can’t imagine paying for it.) [Stereogum]

OMG...this is the worst thing i've ever heard in my life...this makes the Lil Wayne version sound like a masterpiece. this truely is....just terrible....

This is great and I loved it. Not as good as the "Gin N Juice" or "Boyz in the Hood" covers but still really good!
September 24, 2008 at 9:08 a.m.

This s--t is HOT! Damn this is a great cover!
September 25, 2008 at 10:07 a.m.

man this is pretty dope, it wasn't meant to be taking to the heart, jon was jus having fun.
September 25, 2008 at 10:42 p.m.

very nice...How much?
September 28, 2008 at 1:10 p.m.

I LOVE IT
September 28, 2008 at 5:54 p.m.

I love this. Lil Wayne is a douche bag. He thinks that he is God just like Kayne. *gags* I love rock music and I love Korn. Awesome!
October 1, 2008 at 7:31 a.m.

This cover is 2X better than the original...+ he did it just for fun.. no one critisises you people for doing fun... get a brain!
October 4, 2008 at 1:08 p.m.

i think jon just woke up one day and said" i think i'll ruin my reputtion today"
October 6, 2008 at 4:19 p.m.

not nearly as good a weezy but still is a rad twist to the song
October 8, 2008 at 8:51 a.m.

go jon u schooled it!!! well done mate,from an aussie
October 10, 2008 at 1:01 p.m.

Nice... Jon kills Wayne's version, and it probably took him 4 hours...

Gotta love autotune...
October 16, 2008 at 2:48 a.m.

I LOVE IT. this version is much better then lil waynes. jonathan davis is a god!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 16, 2008 at 4:49 p.m.

This sh*t is f**king horrible...What the f**k is going on in this world when people actually like this garbage. I hope Jonathan Davis drowns in a puddle of sh*t and takes zack de la rocha with him..
October 16, 2008 at 8:51 p.m.

this is the worst thing iv ever heard, jd should be shot for this . hes not hip hop and never will be so stay the f**k away from it.i must leave now to go puke after hearing this song. oh by the way f**k rage against the machine. and all you losers that think this is cool, go listen to some real music like suicidal tendencies.
October 18, 2008 at 8:11 p.m.

I have never listened to lil wayne, but this song is pretty f-ing cool. Im guessin its better than the original cause jonathan davis is singin it. KORN F-ING RULES!!!!!!!!!!! Keep goin jon.
October 22, 2008 at 10:11 p.m.

its not that good, yeah. much better than the original. on a different note, we now know the reason pandas won't mate in captivity...people saying jonathan davis is a dried up rocker.
October 26, 2008 at 4:49 a.m.

this is cool as sh*t lil wayne made a good song of course but j.d. givin this a korn feel to it really set it off for me nicest thing i heard in a good while heard it on scratch and sniff tonite

I am in love with Jonathan Davis.
I cried when I met him.
I'd kill to be with him; however, I absolutely HATE Little Wayne. His music is terrible and he deserves to die.
Jonathan Davis' voice is amazing, but the bull sh!t lyrics he is saying are terrible.
I can't believe he'd cover such a retarded song.
I'm still in love with him, though.

SO LIKE HONESTLY........THIZ WUZ PRETTY SICK. NEVER HEARD IT THIS WAY. OPENS WAY FOR MORE GROUND-BREAKING COVERS. PRETTY SICK. I GOTTA GIVE IT UP TO JD YO.
November 14, 2008 at 2:11 a.m.

lil wayne is just another sad example of a talentless rapper makin' it big because - "he can make words rhyme by ebonically pronouncing them". rap & hip hop are a waste of of anyone's time who has an intellectual approach to choosing what GOOD music actually is. jon did lil wayne a favor by covering this piece of sh*t. (unfortunately, jon davis hurt his own image by pulling BULLSH*T material from an ever-so-horrible genre - RAP - to do a re-make of) long live music that takes a brain to create.
November 22, 2008 at 1:35 p.m.

Ok this is a great cover and i know some ppl that are pretty much dedicated to rap and hate all metal/rock and even they loved it. so who ever wrote this article saying it sucks is a complete idiot and who ever says this isnt a good cover is a DOUCHE!
November 30, 2008 at 9:07 p.m.

I wonder if it's possible to unhear a song.
December 11, 2008 at 2:04 a.m.

i liked better this way
December 16, 2008 at 8:43 a.m.

Aw...you guys are mean.
:(
I like this cover a whole whole lot.
:]
It makes me happy.
--Hopeh.
December 19, 2008 at 7:13 p.m.

I just wasted 2 min. and 45 sec. of my life...why 2:45 you ask? Because I ripped the cord out of the back of my comp. THIS SUCKS!
December 21, 2008 at 2:52 p.m.

this is way better than the original. they make this song bad ass
January 13, 2009 at 10:33 p.m.

I have never even heard the original. I've been an avid fan of Korn for roughly 4 years and I've never heard anything like this. I normally abhor rap with a passion, but damn. I think Jonathan makes rap sound a lot more like music to me. Keep on creating these crazy songs Jonathan. I love the song. I'm anxious to hear the solo project in progress.
January 16, 2009 at 7:33 p.m.

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 29, 2009 at 8:30 p.m.

I love it!!! I have NEVER heard J.D. sing bad. I love everything the man does!! Write more...rock on!!!
January 30, 2009 at 2:20 a.m.

Obviously, you
February 5, 2009 at 8:21 p.m.

Obviously you have a horrible sense music. This is way better than that piece of crap Lil Wayne did. What a dumb name for a guy even.
February 26, 2009 at 12:10 a.m.

i think it is really good he went out on a limb with this and nailed it. keep up the remixes
March 31, 2009 at 7:48 p.m.

I like both this and the original version. I like this more though. I'm suree it has to do with Jim root being like a god to me, but i liked it befoore i knew he was in it.
May 1, 2009 at 11:45 a.m.

Your all a buch of idiots. first all of you die hard metal fans get real, the crap you listen to isnt any better then rap music. second if you people would listen to other types of music and give them half a chance you would see that there is real music out there that you can listen to without feeling the need to go rape and pillage after. this is a fun song and shows alot of talent on Johnathans part. for future reference think before you idiots go off on these songs.
July 7, 2009 at 2:29 p.m.

this track is fabulous <3 a sarcastic twist to the original, much needed. gotta love JD
October 14, 2009 at 11:25 p.m.

I like both the original and this cover of the song. I like this version of the song a little more then the original. And I am not just saying this because I am a fan of Jonathans.
November 18, 2009 at 6:07 p.m.

Jonathan Davis helps create great and unique music and anyone who wants to listen to the "canned message"-like music (such as that created by Lil' Wayne) and say that it's better, is wrong. I would way rather listen to this cover than the original. Lil' Wayne plays it safe, I like more creativity than what he offers.
