Kashmir / Come With Me
What a cruel sample version by Puff Daddy! The great Led Zeppelin song "Kashmir" is totally foozeled by this strange rap version. The groaning and the "Yeah, Yeah" arias of Puff Daddy (or Puff Diddy, however he is named) worsen everything.
Why Jimmy Page, who has played the guitar in the cover version, too, played this song together with Puff Daddy, will always be a mystery for me.

Comments about Kashmir / Come With Me:
I'm sorry, as mainstream a rapper as Puff Daddy is, this is not nearly one of his best tracks. He's been on infinitely better tracks. Of course Kashmir is a classic, but his contribution here is dismal, even by his lame lyrical standards. The lyrics are amateur at best. I think my ten year old brother writes better material than this.
I'm also not impressed by their take on the Kashmir sample. They didn't do anything different with it. Good hip-hop will take a sample and "hip-hopify" it. i.e. Add a kick-ass bass line, or a funky drum loop, among other things.
Sorry, this isn't even a contest, regardless if you love or hate both genres.

you can put any musician work on that, i mean musician, and i consider them as great musicians, puff daddy, bonham, p daddys drummer, jimmy page etc. jimmy page allowed it, he wanted a fresh breath on it, and it worked. what actually carried the song is the drumming, and i could say that drumming outbonhams bonham, or gets a bonham nod, no big words here, it is just an awesome drumming and guitar playing. jimmy wanted to take it to another level. it is jimmy's musicianship, and it is no sellout for me. i hear music. different forms of a beautiful music

Obviously Kashmir is far superior for the pure fact it is the original and has Robert Plant, one of the greatest vocalists of all time on it. Ironically though Come with me is probably Puff/puffy/diddy/piddy's best track. I am a fan of good Hip Hop and I believe that sampling can be used in creative ways however Piddy is the enemy of creativity and the enemy of good music, he's partially responsible for the mindless 'club bangas' that are polluting our aiwaves today.

Come With Me has terrible lyrics, but anyone who is not willing to admit that Jimmy Page did a great job updating the instrumental is crazy.

The "pistol packing", "trigger happy" lyrics in Puffy's version are metephors. The whole song is about a girl he can't stand to lose yet can't seem to get along with.
Sorry folks, as much as I dislike Puff Diddily-Do-Da's work as a whole I'm going to have to back him up on this one. This song is actually genius the way it's executed. Maybe that's why Page agreed to be part of it. He probably, for lack of better terms at the moment, 'felt' Puffy's lyrics.

The record label, Page, and all the copyright holders were more than willing to sell out Kashmir. Don't blame Puffy, he was not the 'mastermind' behind this.
Though, I agree Puff Daddy is one of the worst rappers in the industry. One of the worse I say, because 50cent is a billion times worse than Puffy.

OF COURSE PUFFY , ONLY PUFFY 4 EVER , THIS IS ONE OF HIS GREATEST SONGS EVER :
Fuck my enemies
Fuck my foes
Damn these hoes
You're stepping on my toes
Back up off me
Take your hands off me
Give me room to breathe
I'm not hearing it
I'm not fearing it
I'm up to my ears in it
Bullshit I'm destructive
Some women find that seductive
Some say it's lunacy
Reluctantly I've been moving on
I ignore you
Sorry if I bore you
I neglect you
Don't mean to disrespect you
Can't you see
I love you dearly
And that sincerely
But you annoy me
You can't avoid me
I'm here to stay
Forever and ever and a day
That's never
I can't let you go
I can't forget it
Why you did it
I won't permit it
And won't acquit it
I want to fight you
I'll fucking bite you
Can't stand nobody like you
You can't run
You can't hide
No surprise
Close your eyes

Hey troll, apparently your white trash mother fucked one. Better look in your lineage, you stupid faggot.
Though, even so, the Diddy version still sucks.
