drowning pool, Offset, and J.I.D. delivered a surprising and energetic performance of "Bodies" on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The collaboration blended the nu-metal origins of Drowning Pool's 2001 hit with the contemporary rap verses of Offset and J.I.D.'s track from Offset's latest album,"Kiari."
Offset and J.I.D.'s original "Bodies" utilizes a sample from Drowning Pool's iconic track, creating a trap-infused soundscape.Though, the Tonight Show performance flipped the script. Instead of rapping over the sample, Offset and J.I.D. performed with Drowning Pool, who provided the live instrumentation for their 2001 hit. This resulted in a significantly heavier and more aggressive rendition of the song.
The shift in musical style was a deliberate choice, highlighting the song's core energy and paying homage to its source material. The performance showcased a unique synergy between the two genres, appealing to fans of both nu-metal and contemporary rap.
