My rap/rock coverage is typically fairly slim at ProHipHop because there’s only so much one man can do but a couple of items caught my eye today.

Producer Dallas Austin is currently working on Korn’s next album which will include a track featuring The Game. Actually, Austin has a lot of other interesting stuff going on, including projects from his label Rowdy, his film production company Rowdy Films and a possible reality tv show inspired by the movie Drumline.

Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit discusses their next album featuring the return of guitarist Wes Borland. He also claims that Rage Against The Machine was a big inspiration for this album.

You probably don’t know, but I’m a huge Rage Against The Machine fan and have all their major releases. I was so sorry they broke up because they did such amazing work together and, except for occasional projects by Zach de la Rocha and political statements by Tom Morello, just don’t seem to be doing much of interest these days. I dig Korn but haven’t kept up with them very closely. However, I’d be happy to forget the existence of Fred Durst and Limp Bizkit and find it disturbing to hear him citing RATM though I’m not surprised that he separates their amazing sound from their leftist message.
