Rapcore is a musical genre that fuses many elements of hip hop music with the instrumentation and some of the vocals of punk and/or heavy metal, and sometimes with funk-style beats.
The term is also used to refer to the substyles of rap-rock and rap-metal.
Genre history
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 groups Urban Dance Squad and Rage Against the Machine (respectively from Netherlands and California).
Typical in rapcore is either the use of political themes, employed by bands such as Rage Against the Machine, Inner Surge, End7, Senser, and Aztlan Underground, or fun/aggression-oriented artists like Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, Linkin Park and The Bloodhound Gang. Moreover, The band Zebrahead was recently popularized for their mixture of rapcore and funk/techno elements.
