Korn’s Jonathan Davis Covers Lil Wayne’s “Got Money”

9/16/08, 3:23 pm EST

Jonathan Davis and Korn have treated us to some unintentionally terrible cover songs over the years, from an unplugged version of Radiohead’s “Creep” to a conglomerate take on Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall.” Now Davis, without his bandmates but with Slipknot’s Jim Root, has unfurled the strangest cover of them all after attempting Lil Wayne’s “Got Money.” Like its predecessor, Davis’ “Got Money” utilizes AutoTune vocals and is pretty faithful, except for the fact that the chorus sounds less like “Got Money (Remix)” and more like Limp Bizkit’s “Nookie.” This isn’t the first time Davis has tried his hand at hip-hop, as Korn also covered Ice Cube’s “Wicked” back on 1996’s Life Is Peachy. “Got Money” is available for as multi-format download for the low price of your email address on a mailing list over at Jonathan Davis’ website.

This is probably the worst song to be made since Lil’ Wayne’s “Got Money” featuring T-Pain.

Oh, wait.

It’s ok to misfire once in a while, but to have the gun explode in your hand….Limp Bizkit’s “Rollin’” which is terrible in its own right, runs laps around this putrid pile of waste.

I actually thought that this version wasn’t all that bad.
If you like this, listen to
Framing Hanley’s version of “Lollipop”

Throbin Hood | 9/25/2008, 8:15 pm EST

This song is not as bad as you guys are making it out to be. and “terrible covers”?!?!?!? what the fuck! have you even listened to them before?

Cashmore82 | 10/10/2008, 2:05 pm EST

KORN | 10/26/2008, 12:48 pm EST

Korn fans shouldnt even know who lil wayne is. When I heard this on the radio I loved it. When I heard it was a cover I was embarased for JD. I still like it none the less.

Zach 420 | 12/2/2008, 5:01 pm EST

To me he is making fun of the rap song! I like it, think its funny! I love Korn and Jonathan Davis and it cool…

Dizzle | 12/14/2008, 5:37 pm EST

Korn’s latest cd was waaayy under-rated. and this is just a fun remake im sure. I don’t think people know what is good music anymore. think for yourself.

misshapen_chaos | 12/16/2008, 8:34 am EST

Aw.
This cover makes me extra happy.
:]
I love hXc people covering rap songs. ^.^
-Hopeh.

Blizz | 12/16/2008, 9:15 am EST

LOL all you people that are downing this have forgotten who remade this, ever seen the twisted transistor parody? should watch that fun before you knock JD having fun again…rap enthusiasts need not apply here because it does not apply to them whatsoever…go troll on ebony mag. boards or something.

Jroll5 | 12/25/2008, 12:28 pm EST

I am a big korn fan and anything john does ROCKS. Every one in the ville is talking about this remix and everybody thinks it is KICK ASS,keep the good work John.

kornkidkait NJ | 12/27/2008, 2:09 am EST

hey rolling stone, u guys dont no shit about music. jonathan davis’ creep is amazing. he puts more feeling into his songs, or cover songs than anybody. this got money is great, but still JD is god!!! haters, just jealous he can be the only person to take a song and make it cool.. always puttin down the goddamn white man. pathetic. everyone that hates on korn should kill themselves cuz ur all jealous of the man in every way.

Kimmers | 12/30/2008, 10:41 pm EST

I love it… Love the music to it and the cover of it!!! I usually don’t like covers or remixes, but this made me actually like the song…

FreakyKornFan | 1/27/2009, 11:01 pm EST

J.D. is a freakin legend. ALL you Korn-Haters can keep your insignificant comments to yourself. How many albums do you have under your belt? Open up your mind and let Korn seep into your pores and they will take you on a musical tour.

Anonymous | 1/28/2009, 9:36 pm EST

korn is the shit

T3hPhilip | 1/30/2009, 6:40 pm EST

Man what a negative review.
It’s not bad, it’s not my favorite, but it’s good

And keep in mind that he just did it for fun because he thought it would be fun.

Siege | 3/9/2009, 5:00 am EST

The worst part is he actually learned that song. Terrible.

fuk shit talkers | 3/10/2009, 2:38 pm EST

im a korn fan, and its not the best song they have ever had come out, but i do like covers, and for being rock, this isnt a bad cover. better than the stupid lollipop cover framing hanley did. that song fucking blows

E | 3/11/2009, 9:49 pm EST

Everyone wanna be lil wayne

M.A. | 3/23/2009, 3:42 pm EST

I’m a big fan of KoRn and i don’t really like this song but it’s good not “terrible” and obviously the author of this review doesn’t like KoRn.By the way the unplugged creep is not at all terrible like he says i think they even did that better than radiohead did. If there’s somthing missing in this review that’s objectivity.you shoould listen to the songs first and not judge it wrong because you don’t like KoRn

DUBZ | 4/14/2009, 12:24 pm EST

i think it’s fuckin cool.

i like it more than wayne’s

fuck lil wayne hahahaha

Nokturna | 5/25/2009, 6:18 am EST

oh blah blah blah.. all of u need to keep in mind that we all are entitled to our opinions.. if u disagree with what someone says.. who fukn cares? lol If you like it AWESOME.. if you don’t.. I DON’T GIVE A FUCK! lol Be true.. be you! I personally love this song.. its adorable! And I love KoRn and their covers.. so neener! :D

D. Shoe | 6/8/2009, 12:22 am EST

I don’t get the negativity surrounding it, he made it for FUN. In addition, Korns cover of “Another Brick In The Wall” was very popular, and brought a new light onto it with teens who hadn’t heard Pink Floyds version. They failed to mention Korns version of “Word Up” also, this author sucks. He doesn’t deserve his job.

sancha | 8/22/2009, 12:57 am EST

i love that song it is way better but I agree that creep is the worst ccover from KoRn but still i love all of KoRn’s cover songs

vicky | 9/30/2009, 2:36 am EST

the song isnt that bad and im a huge ass korn fan the only reason i think it isnt to popular is because jonathan already has a beautiful voice that he doesnt need auto-tune but he did it anyway for some reason. only shity artist who have no talent need auto tune cause thats the only way they can sing…which is sad because that shows you how much music sucks these days and how desperate people are that they have to have a machine make them sound good.I think auto-tune is a huge insult to real performers out there take robert plant legendary voice, layne stanley, awesome voice. anyway, But the song isnt that bad as some say but kill the auto-tune cause Jonathan davis is the farthest thing from a shity artist. let the talentless losers figure out they suck on their own time without making us here in 24/7 on the radio plz.

Naz | 10/22/2009, 10:15 am EST

I like the original, I like Korn. The cover is good.

Korn started from dudes who listened to rap and metal. So some real Korn fans will naturally like rap as well.
