I was kind of a fan of Linkin Park when they first came out with One Step Closer before the album launched, I thought it sounded kind of like KoRn which was obviously one of their prime influences (and another reason why KoRn keeps changing their sound), but their shit got old quick. And that half ass white rapping set it over the edge. It was too emo for me back then AND I was in the fuckin crazy house at the time. Jay-Z made their shit sound better, and Im not even the biggest Jay-Z fan. And hot damn does Chester look out of place in that band... when I look at him I definitely dont think "wow hes the personification of Rock star."

But they got their shit didnt they? Selling out makes money after all.
