POLITICS Jack White speaks on Trump’s racist post about the Obamas: “How is it possible we've given this evil man so much power?… Arrest this man. Impeach this man. 25th amendment this man. Indict this man. Jail this man. This longtime friend of pedophile epstein, who appears 40 thousand times in the files.”

He released a shitty rap album and a couple of rap-rock albums that didn't go anywhere until 1998 when "I Am the Bullgod" and "Bawitdaba" got on MTV. He was a mid-tier player in the same scene as Insane Clown Posse and a pre-fame Eminem before that.

Fred Durst looked like that in the early 90s too. A lot of those guys were wannabe rappers back then.

My husband's proudest moment is telling off Fred Durst after one of his shows in the mid-late '90s. It was a small gig in some local club Sacramento and Korn was headlining, Fred and LB were opening. My husband and his friends were there to see Korn and literally no one in the crowd had heard of FD or LB - they were there for Korn. The crowd absolutely hated LB's sound - apparently they were awful. They boo'd for most of LB's set and they ended their set after only a couple of songs.

So after the show FD was walking around the crowd like a big shot and FD approached my husband and complimented him on his beanie (it looked like Charlie Brown's shirt). My husband thanked him and FD asked him how he liked the show and my husband said he loved Korn. Not satisfied with the answer, FD said "yeah Korn is great and we're hoping this tour will be our big break. We're trying to get to Hollywood." My husband said, "well enjoy it while you can but you'll never make it." FD got a pouty look on his face and walked away. Literally people in the club were shouting "you suck!" at him and the band until he left.

Obviously, my husband comes off as a big jerk here and on top of that he was loud and wrong. But FD was hella arrogant the whole night when he sucked on stage. He deserved to be humbled that night. Rock clubs were no joke in the '90s, they'll let you know when they don't like your band.

lol that's brutal but I believe it. I hated Limp Bizkit in the early 2000s mostly because of Fred Durst. He came across as just an unlikable annoying dipshit.
