Lil’ Wayne’s ‘Prom Queen’ Video Features Members Of Korn…Um, Yeah.
March 8, 2009 by Scott
Having Korn in this video doesn’t really make it metal or even metal news for that matter, but wtf? Yeah, they’re in there somewhere. I figured I’d be a whore and attempt to use it to get some extra page views. Hey, times are tough all over and sometimes you have to sacrifice a lamb (my self respect) in order to get what you need. Here is Lil’ Wayne’s Prom Queen video featuring members of Korn.
I guess Lil’ Wayne figures that he has dominated the Hip Hop genre long enough, so why not try rock. All I can say to that is; remember when Michael Jordan tried being a baseball player? It’s more of a pop-driven rock song in my opinion. Who am I kidding, this song blows.

I laughed my ass of when I saw the news clipping in the video that says Lil Wayne sweeps Grammys. ok you auto-tune abusing r-tard, keep dreaming.
I think everyone reading this blog will agree with me on this one: What the fuck is this shit?!
Who’s this wannabe? Being in high school, I unfortunately see a lot of wiggers on a daily basis and I’ve never even heard of this guy. I mean, he’s standing around pretending to play a Les Paul Custom worth more than my house is. Well, I guess when you listen to fools, the mob rules…
You’ve never heard of Lil’ Wayne? Consider yourself lucky. I thought it was quite amusing seeing him “play that guitar”. It’s always amusing seeing someone in a movie, tv or video act like they are playing a guitar. Most of the time they aren’t even on the right end of the fretboard. Auto-filtered the hell out of the vocals on that one. I was playing with an auto-filter on Acoustica Mixcraft (recording software) yesterday. It was kind of cool and could be used in a cool Morbid Angel “Where The Slime Live” sort of way, but I wouldn’t try to use it to make my or anyone elses vocals sound better.
You need to fix your post slug to . . . korn-um-yeah/ instead of kornum-yeah
Windows Live Writers set it like that and I really didn’t give it any thought. Guess that makes a difference with SEO, right? If that’s the case, I’ll definitely think about that in the future. Thanks.
No, I actually hadn’t heard of this Lil’ Wayne fellow, I don’t really listen to music radio and the people I know aren’t really into that sort of thing, but I will admit, KoRn was a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine before I really knew what “music” was. Oh well, thankfully this tendency was utterly thwarted by puberty.
Korn was a lot of people’s guilty pleasure. I honestly can’t get myself to listen to them anymore. Had I known all the other bands I was missing over the years I probably would never had listened to them at all.
Lil Wayne just seems to be everywhere these days. Like I said, consider yourself lucky.
Whups, sorry for the double post, but I was preoccupied with closet KoRnography, I suppose. When you listen to radio, the auto-tune is really badly disguised, and I can usually tell when someone’s been using it heavily (I neglected to say, the store I work at has some generic top-40 pop radio station on, but I s’pose Lil’ Wayne was considered to “wild” for that station)… There’s sort of a synthesised warble to it, and I find it extremely irritating.
Electronics should be used as an effect, to embellish what you already have. Creating a song, an album, a career out of some computer’s optimised rendering of oneself is extremely shitty – it’s the epitome of artificial. A singer with a technically “bad” but unique voice is always going to be more interesting than an auto-tune whore, take Lemmy for example. Not only does he not care if he’s anywhere NEAR tune, but the sheer rawness and uniqueness of his voice really powers what he has going on musically. It’s about attitude, character, emotion, passion, and individuality, whereas the technological rut the music industry is stuck in is merely creating hundreds, if not thousands of identical, boring clones. I think you nailed it, Scott. Cool as an effect, but you can’t really use butter where there isn’t any bread in the first place.
I read online that Ben Weinman from DEP was giving lil wayne guitar lessons and Ben also remixed one of his songs. I do listen to some of lil wayne but he is waaayy overrated. He sucks at guitar so he should just stick to what got him rich..rap. and i hope i never see him in another video like this again cause it was shittier than shit.

No thanks, dude.
Lil Wayne is the greatest wordsmith in all music take some time and listen to the words in his music. And he used the autotone to slow down his voice and if you didn’t notice he won 4 grammys and was nominated for 9 so I would say he swept the grammys but not like he will next year since he’s droppin 4 albums in 09
Yes my name it directed towards you people who have no idea what rock is. I guess because this guy is a famous rap star by crossing over to metal makes this song/video suck right? I have read a lot of the post on here. But if this was not Lil Wayne and just a random guy who did this song people would say hey this is cool or ect…ect.. The funny thing is most of these posts are probably made from people who was not around when the real rock was around.
Lil Wayne did a great job. Catchy toon. Great video. It has all the elements of a good rock song.
So for all you out there who wants to comment about this in a negative way. There is a reason why this guy is rich, and can do many forms of music and why your probably still living in your parents basement.
No dude, if this “Toon”, actually spelled “Tune” came on the radio I would change the station cause this song sucks through and through regardless of who made it. If it was a legitimately GOOD rock song I would not be afraid to say so…but it’s not. Fan Boi? I know what rock is, and this isn’t it.
And what do you mean “You people”?
It´s a bit weird to read you guys´s opinion on Lil Wayne´s attitude towards rock and shit. I´d say all he´s down with is money. He cares shit for rock or rap. He just sees music as an industry and like all others he wishes to gain profit. Blin blin guys like him get it wrong. Real rap doesn´t consist on that I guess. Neither does real rock.
All you motherfuckers talkin bad about Korn and lil’ Wayne are just fuckin jelous and closed minded to anybody who doesn’t fit your standards for a rocker. Because he can make the jump from rap to rock with that big of a gap between the two genres makes him a real fuckin rocker.
Yep, you’re right Alex. Lil’ Wayne (is that a tiny little penis tattooed between his eyes? Seriously) is a “real fuckin rocker”. But he’s not nearly as hard as the absolutely brutal Run DMC were when they crossed over with Aerosmith.
All jokes aside, at least “Walk This Way” was a decent song. This one was just a fucking joke.
