cultural origins: 1980s, United States
Rap-metal or heavy rap is a subgenre of rap-rock and alternative metal music which combines hip-hop with heavy metal. It usually consists of heavy metal guitar riffs, funk metal elements, rapped vocals and sometimes turntables.
Rap-metal seeks to fuse the most aggressive elements of hardcore rap and heavy metal, and became an extremely popular variation of alternative metal during the late ’90s.
Prior to the initial emergence of rap-metal, there had been several successful fusions of rap with hard rock guitar — Run-D.M.C.’s collaboration with Aerosmith on a remake of the latter’s “Walk This Way,” the Beastie Boys’ Licensed to Ill — but the true birth of rap-metal was Anthrax’s comic 1987 single “I’m the Man,” which combined a heavy guitar riff (actually the melody of “Hava Nagila”) with full-fledged, surprisingly competent rapping.
Run-D.M.C. with Aerosmith – Walk This Way; beastie boys – Rhymin & Stealin; Anthrax – I’m The Man:
Funk-metal outfits like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More dabbled in the style, but the intense hardcore tone commonly associated with ’90s rap-metal was established by another Anthrax record, a 1991 remake of Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise” that featured members of PE itself.1AllMusic.
