Rapcore developed in the mid to late 1980s, alongside similar crossover music genre funk metal.

The roots of the style can be found in albums by bands such as Anthrax, Public Enemy, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Biohazard, 311, Suicidal Tendencies and Faith No More. The first full-dedicated rapcore acts to obtain some mainstream popularity, were the Dutch group Urban Dance Squad, and the Californian Rage Against the Machine .
