Classic Album Review: Fieldy’s Dreams | Rock N Roll Gangster

The Korn bassist goes to pot — literally & figuratively — on a high-concept solo joint.

What kind of dreams does Fieldy have? Why, pipe dreams, of course.

The Korn bassist goes to pot — literally and figuratively — on this high-concept solo joint, huffing and puffing his way through 40 minutes of hemp-happy hip-hop and Glock-waving gangsta rap like some Snoop Dogg wannabe from the ’burbs. Like any good wigga, Fieldy has learned his lessons well — perhaps too well. The bottom-dwelling, slow-rolling bass lines might as well have been sampled from old Dre grooves, while Fieldy’s nasal drug raps could be Eminem outtakes. His bandmates supply the occasional creepy vocal or heavier-hitting groove, but Rock N Roll Gangster is ultimately more corny than Korny.
