American Rapper FIRST time EVER hearing - KORN - Freak On a Leash! They got me 

It’s about “the industry” , record companies & how they take advantage of artists pain & emotions. While they are pouring their hearts out in their songs , the companies only care if it makes them money. He feels he is being paraded around like a pet by his record company meanwhile he’s going through anguish & trauma

Song still slaps 2 decades later

Korn is the genesis of Nu Metal. It was a fusion of Hip Hop elements, funk, and metal. The scat singing is a jazz thing, and beatboxing is beatboxing...he kinda does both at once. Nobody sounded like Korn when they came out. They blew our minds....metal was dying. Then Korn and Distrubed hit. It's about the music industry. ETA What has he been through? Keep listening! Jon wasn't shy about his past, and it's dark.

By the end of that breakdown you were moving like you felt what every Korn fan felt back in the 90's when they first got into them.

Yes. Love me some KoRn. You should check out "Twisted Transistor" (full version). Its not their best song but its a fun video.

Yes, BP. He’s wearing a kilt. He also plays bagpipes in some songs. Chutes and Ladders being one of my favorites. Awesome reaction dude. You had be buggin’ with you when you started vibin’ 😂.

Wow… this brings back memories!! I went with my husband (then boyfriend) to a Korn concert our Senior year of High School in Nov of 1996! 😂❤️ It was eye opening for a girl who had only been to a Garth Brooks concert before then! But I LOVED IT! 😍🤪

My favourite band growing up and they helped through those difficult teenage years. I respect this band so much. You gotta do Falling Away From Me next.

Watching your evolution throughout this reaction was a blast 😂 Edit: yes, that is a kilt lol

Definitely give them more of a chance. They have songs that appeal to many different tastes.

He's also the vocalist mainly in Queen of the Damned. Best soundtrack in my opinion

Blind was their first single, and I would venture to say, probably their biggest hit… Watch the live Woodstock video… It’ll pull your mind! Corn was awesome because they had that West Coast vibe,, they also were one of the pioneers of the genre nu metal

Korn is one on the best band dude ! You definitely have to deep inside. It's a total vibe.Just imagine end of 90's-start of 20's, you have bands like Korn, System Of A Down, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson, all those awesome bands, in their prime, on the same amount of time. That era was insane 🖤🖤🖤

Korn is my favorite band of all time ❤. Keep reacting to them! “ Blind” “Clown” “Seed” so many good ones. Jonathan Davis has an amazing voice & scatting like no one else!

This song was made for the music industry and them trying to keep him on a leash. Just got to the part where you was jamming but not sure what to do. U started punching then playing drums, almost came out your chair!! 😂😂😂😂 Here for it!

The sound Korn came out with at that time was so revolutionary. Nothing sounded like them. The guitars almost sound like a DJ scratching decks at times. The live set from Woodstock is pretty phenomenal. I'd recommend blasting through the first 10 mins or so of that (Blind, Twist, Chi) and you'll see some more of the crazy beat box/chanting you saw here.

Its the moment we were all watching this to see you EXPERIENCE. 💯😎

Yea, Korn was pretty wild for mainstream back in the late 90s. They'd play those right after Brittany Spears on MTV.

This was so, so fantastic. I love this reaction so much and I think it's the most interesting kind of reaction of yours where you get hyped in the music actually just takes you over. It was so much fun watching you 🎉 lol ❤

Falling away from me, twist, adidas, daddy, twisted transistor and somebody someone. Are a few really good bangers by Korn

"Coming Undone" is well worth a listen

Was never a huge fan of the band's later stuff like this one, but their first album in 1994 is one of the best debut albums of all time. They created a whole genre in one fell swoop on that. Songs like Blind, Clown, and Ball Tongue were so original sounding.

Korn was such a huge voice in the music industry. They changed a lot of things. His voice is different but it gets into your soul & then...you can't stop listening to them.

Shoots and ladder was my introduction to Korn. Crazy song but very good

Do more rock/metal reactions dude. That was cool watching the ride you just went on with this one. There's a lot of metal out there that will surprise you.

I'm black I love korn. Seen them live 6 times😊

I think you would enjoy “Children of the Korn” with Ice Cube. Under rated banger for sure.

took me 25 years or so to see them live, and i finally saw them last year, they did not disappoint, been a fan since they came out, but never got to see them live.. Shoots and ladders live was nuts..

Korn is a lot to take in as a first time listen. I went through this same reaction when I first heard them, now I love them.

Korn the song blind from Woodstock 99. Best live performance ever. Never seen a crowd so crazy.

Yep, that's a kilt, he also plays the bagpipes on a few songs such as 'Shoots and Ladders' which is metal nursery rhymes. Stay away from 'Daddy' though, that one will scar you for life.

I haven’t listened to Korn in over 20 years (yikes). I’ve forgotten how much I love this song. Its raw angsty emotion really spoke to 15 year old stuck in catholic school Corinne. 38 year old Corinne totally appreciates it on a whole different level now. Damn BP- are you going to get me back into Nu-Metal after I’ve sworn off of it for almost two decades?!

JD's voice is absolutely one that takes getting used to. The hook was supposed to sit with you like it does. This video also was award winning and critically acclaimed at the time.

You have to watch "Falling Away From Me" next..its literally part 2 of "Freak On A Leash" the video starts right where this video ends. Listen to th at one next.

I love how hard he attacks the bass during the chorus, you can literally hear the strings rattle

Korntastic!!.. I hope you continue down the Korn rabbit hole..the are amazing 👏..and there still touring and putting out new music 😎🔥🔥🔥👍..and I am a korn fan lol..my favorite nu metal band 😁

OMG! 🤣 Ur face when that drop hit was Priceless!! And hell yes!! 🙌🙌 Follow this with Falling away from me!

I have seen Korn 6 times live starting in 1997. They are amazing. I even saw them on tour with Ice Cube. They did a song together, Korn and Ice Cube. Children of the Korn. It's a great song. They have so many. A.D.I.D.A.S (All Day I Dream About Sex), Twist. The hardest one to listen to is Daddy. It's Jonathan Davis singing about what happened to him as a kid and it will break your heart to hear it. Great reaction, BP! Glad you tried it with the headphones! It was great to see you headbanging a little! ❤️

He wrote the song as a statement against record labels and censorship.

One of my favs !! Thanks for this BP... loved your reaction❤

From a long time Korn fan, I have no words. Your reaction said it all! =)

Yasss Korn!! This was totally my shiii growing up in the 90s this limp bizkit, linking park, rage against, system of a down. I loved the NU Metal era.. And it all fused with rap and hip hop so well actually. Also there wild live if u check out the concert from Woodstock 99 it will blow ur mind.

aww one of my all time favorite bands since they started, you have to check out more of their stuff

The lead singer has a really wide range in his vocals, and Koяn live, he sounds exactly like the record. Their Woodstock 99' performance of this is epic.

YES I am finally getting a chance to watch. You know these boys are my favorite! So happy to see you onto KoRn!

Thank you for pulling this out of storage! I love this song. Somewhere I saw a young girl nailing this song. I am glad you are giving all the different genres a chance. The drums and bass pulls me in and then the guitar . I think it slams! I cannot hold my head still,it is such a banger! 🌽🎸🎶🤘🖤

classic, iconic, legendary i could go on forever...

I love reactions to metal especially when those who get converted finally get it and properly enjoy the sound and meaning to the music. Great reaction

Yoo BP, So stoked you are dipping into this, already a follower of most of your videos and you would probably be surprised at how much of your current audience are Korn fans. The genre is Nu Metal which Korn was one of the first pioneers, it is a blend of 90's Hip Hop and Metal. This song hits harder if you think about it through the lense of a band who feels trapped by the music industry and is just being a puppet for profit. The 'Ya'll wanna Single' music video lays it out perfectly. If you read many books, Brian Welch is one of the bands guitarist and has a great book called 'Save Me From Myself' where he talks about the early days of the band and eventually leaving for a few years after finding Christ. As said by others, the Twisted Transistor music video is awesome. Korn has always crossed over and worked with great rap and hip hop artists. They have a mix with DFB called 'Coming Undone Wit It's that goes hard and even had an album chopped and screwed by Michael 5000 Watts. Keep having fun brosoph, love the vibes from a class of 2000 kid.

One of the best reactions I've seen in awhile; you took the time to back up and reconsider. I'm impressed.

He’s an eccentric singer, but when it comes down to “getting down” he does it near perfectly

Best korn reaction ever! Gotta do more korn songs! Greetings from Portugal 🇵🇹🤘🎸🥁

I was waiting for you to come around, This was one of my favorites from you, for real. I like seeing people turn to any music that is done well. I graduated HS in 93. Im glad you finally have EATEN som Korn ! As always, much love

I love seeing people discover this stuff I grew up on. Still one of my favorite songs.

One of the best concerts ever was the family values tour. I got to see korn, ice cube, and Rammstein all in one place and my life hasn't been the same since. Concerts haven't measured up since the 90s for me

Yesss! One of my favourite bands... seen time live 8 times and they never disappoint! 🤘🤘Love your reactions BP. Much love from the UK

The facial expressions are 🤌🤌🤌🤌. Haven't heard this in a long time. So thank you for the flash back, and the great reaction!!

This was the first CD I had when I got my drivers license at 16 😂 I’m now 39, sitting on the couch watching this video crying for my youth 😂🤦🏼‍♀️🤧

Love this

What a classic, that bought me back to high school days thank you mate god bless

SOOOO glad you stuck with it for the drop. 🤘

I didn't understand Korn when they first appeared, but I appreciated their intense, unique sound. The Untouchables album was what really hooked me in. X'D I borrowed it from the local library, of all places. But dude, "Tearjerker" and "Seen It All" destroyed me when I finally joined the hype train. Haunting. Korn is haunting in all the ways I didn't realize I needed.

More, more more! ..and keep up the good work with the rest of your reactions..btw love your Ren reactions.

Gosh, I saw them live 20 years ago.... on tour with Snoop! This brings back memories!

oh my god, as a life long Korn fan, spent many a gig, festival in the mosh with them, so watching you go through a whole load of emotions and then getting it was just bloody fabulous to watch. Brilliant viewing! If you were a good Christian boy who steered away from Korn and Slipknot, did you listen to POD? Alive is a track where I did not touch the floor when I saw them live, because everyone was bouncing! oh and Jonathan (singer Korn) plays the bag pipes! check that out. I think the song is about the music industry taking from the artist and making all the money!

Lol...that giant smile at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="829">13:49</a> and at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="840">14:00</a> where you just surrender to it is fantastic. I didn't really realize these reaction videos were a thing until a few months back. I have an array of genres in music I listen to at any given time but I'm an 'alternative grunge' girl at heart. It's funny how you don't realize what music others have never heard simply because they gravitated to a different genre growing up. I watched a Knox reaction to Smells Like Teen Spirit and couldn't believe he'd never heard it. Turns out he had, just didn't know it, but still; here we are 30 years later and we are still being introduced to and blown away by "new" music just by being open to something new and different than our own go-to. Love it!

I could fall asleep to you reading Korn lyrics softly in my ear

KORN , “ SHOOTS and LADDERS “ is a MUST hear!!!! Especially since you have kids ❤️😎 love ya BP

Got that Korn stank face through the whole video :D

Great reaction ! I love when people finally get to the (beatbox) part and always flip out , I’ve been listening to this song since 98.

Korn has the ability to heal those of us who were abused as helpless children. What a blessing for you to have not been. I kept everything inside and then I heard Korn "Daddy". Not suggesting you should listen to it but it gave ne permission to be enraged. I live watching your reactions! Keep it up❤

One of the true Pioneers that cut a rift or change in music to another world and or level! Rock On!! 🤘

Bro, you seriously need to check out Korn featuring Slipknot live in London doing Sabotage! Absolutely phenomenal.

Black.....Pegasus!!! Hell Yeah!

Dude thank god I needed to see this today

Great tune and video.

Dude, soon as I fixed my membership I come back and see this! Ren may be my favorite artist, but these guys always have a spot in my playlist. Thanks so much BP hope you like this I would LOVE more Korn!!

I love this one a lot it always hypes me up. It builds as you said he just let's go and release. And more you listen to it the better it gets

Damn you Black Pegasus! I watch you so much now that even I am singing along to your opening theme song.

The best video ever !

Korn's sound always reminded me of Faith no more ❤

The singer Jonathan davis has a crazy story. He puts his pain in songs. They have so many great songs. Theres an amazing biggie collab too called wake up i think

This brought a huge smile to my face. I'm right around your age (probably a year or two older) and when I graduated from HS, Korn was really starting to break out especially with the Mtv exposure. I had a good friend who looks oddly similar to you other than his skin color is much lighter than yours. So this kid was NOT into any rock/metal music. He was into rap, drum and bass and big into DJ's like Q-bert, DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, ISP, X-Ecutioners, ect, ect. Anyhow, he was driving us to a rave and on the way there I put this Korn cd in and went to this song. Within seconds he wasn't having it! "Get this shit off my radio, I'm not gonna listen to this trash" But I was able to convince him to let the song roll and I'll take it out after it ends. He shook his head in disgust but let it play. A few seconds later he actually lowered the volume but it kept playing. But once it got to that spot in the song, he got the same "what the F is this sh*t" look on his face that you had in this video. And immediately his head started moving and the song infected his entire body in the exact same way it did to you. Literally the exact same reaction with the fist, air drumming and putting his hands over his ears even tho he wasnt wearing headphones lol. I'm not gonna pretend that he turned into a huge Korn fan after hearing this song but over the next couple years he voluntarily joined a group of us 3 or 4 times when we went to see Korn live. He never bought any Korn albums and never asked to listen to them when we'd be driving around. But this song right here triggered something inside of him. He remains a rap/turntablist fan to this day and the only time he ever veered off his hip hop (and D&B) course was to let loose at a few Korn concerts. And for a kid who knew absolutely NONE of their songs, you'd never know he wasn't a fan by watching the energy he'd release and the way he got wrapped up in the experience at the Korn concerts. Sorry for rambling on, but seeing your reaction to hearing this for the first time set off some 25 year old memories that I hadn't thought about for about 25 years!And your resemblance to my friend is actually kinda creepy! 😆 Great video BP! I will hit the sub button as soon as I hit the comment button.....

Man I’ve been blessed to have seen korn live several times. They never disappoint.

The breakdown - or beatbox part - seen live is something to be experienced.

I was a Korn fan growing up. But also 90s rap to Limp Bizkit (they were local to me and pushed by Korn actually) but this music along with Manson and others in the genre were instrumental in my childhood and delaing with certain issues i grew up with. Great reaction.

Really enjoyed watching the evolution of you discovering the magic here he does just let go and it's so freeing and liberating for kids who grew up not being able to do that

I think you would really like Shoots & Ladders. It has bagpipes in the beginning 😆💜✌🏽

The memories my baby daughter first head bang too this with her uncle she loved this .We would party in the kitchen while I did dishes.

i am so happy you went back to listen to it again!!!!!!! lol

My high school years all over again. KORN are goated

Man what a trip, I remember seeing these guys live in like 2012 at the Cypress Hill Smokeout Festival and they were the closing band at like 1am. Good fuckin' times and memories for sure.

When I was young, they were all over the MTV.. good times

I remember so vividly when this song came out - I was 10 years old and I used to go to my friend's house after school and we'd watch this MV on MTV, and it quickly became one of my favorite songs at the time. Still really love it to this day and it opened my eyes to the world of rock music (I also was a hip hop fan at the time). What a classic.

Love me some Korn! can't believe you've never reacted to them!

As a big KoRn fan, always great to see someone react to them for the first time, especially after seeing your Rammstein rabbit hole!

Same as you I let korn slide by in my teens. Discovered them big time back in February. Biggest fan boy now 👊👊👊 the bassline in this song is marvelous stuff

Well brother, welcome to what hooked us Korn fans back in the day

"Daddy" is a hell of a ride if you're looking for something heavy- Song was recorded in one take, and the vocalist (song is a story from his childhood) told the rest of the band not to stop playing/recording no matter what happened. It's the most raw, gut wrenching song I've ever heard. Gotta check it out yourself.

Excited for more Korn, Blind, Got the Life, Shoots and Ladders, and Falling Away from Me are all greats
