Capitalizing on the commercial success of rap/rock crossovers,
Loud Records volunteers their back catalog for the rock treatment on this surprisingly diverse compilation,
Loud Rocks. Ever wondered what
Wu-Tang Clan, Tha Alkaholiks, Mobb Deep, and
Big Pun would sound like jamming with
Sugar Ray, Sevendust, Incubus, and
Ozzy Osbourne? Probably not, but the guitar-heavy pairings work surprisingly well. Vocally, tracks are split. Certified MCs show up on roughly half the tracks to retrofit their rhymes to the rock-out sound; on the rest, rock's wailers and grunters transform into microphone fiends.
Everlast gives
"Shook Ones Part II" a gorgeous, stripped-down acoustic feel, and
System of a Down turns the Wu classic
"Shame" into a mosh-pit screamer.
Xzibit's gruff flow finds a perfect match alongside the distorted thrash of
Endo and
Sevendust. There's enough crossover appeal to win over rockers, hip-hop heads, and the morbidly curious alike.
