Rap Metal
A genre of music that calls itself metal but isn't.
It supposedly "combines rap and rock," and does so simply by taking away all of the elements that make either genre the least bit interesting.

Rap Metal
A misconception. It is supposed to be a combination of heavy metal and rap music, but these genres are fundamentally different. Rap focuses primarily on rhyming vocals with a simple and repetative beat in the background. Metal is the combination of fast and complicated instrument work with intense vocals. Hence the two genres cannot mix.

People say crap bands like Linkin Park, Papa Roach and Rage Against the Machine are rap metal. None of these bands have an ounce of metal in them, and probably fail at rapping too. They are prime examples of undertalented, overwhore MTV bullshit.

Rap Metal
A genre of music that uses metal/thrash metal instrumentals and rapped vocals. For a perfect example of this listen to Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine.

Rage Against the Machine is a rap metal band, and the only mainstream one that is any good.

Dont just flame when youve never heard it. Sure some rap metal is terrible, but some can be allright. I myself like many different genres of metal(except numetal such as slipknot linkin park and limp bizkit) so rapcore is one of them. In short its hardcore rock or metal with rapping

I like rap metal I dont care what you fuckers think

Rap Vs. Metal
Probably the most annoying youtube comment war in the world. Each side acts like their genre requires talent and creativity, while the other genre requires retards to strum a few guitar strings or punch a few things in on the computer. This is a pointless argument. Some rap artists suck. Some metal bands suck. Other rap artists are talented. Other metal bands are talented. Each genre takes skill to come up with something new and make it sound good. Thus, the argument that spans millions of people, is pointless.

Rap vs. Metal
Rap fan- Dude metal sucks it's just some whiny kids screaming into a mic and playing some guitar!

Metal fan- Wow retard how about rap its just some guys rhyming about their "dogs" and saying "Nigga"!

Everyone isn't an ignorant asshole- Cool deal brah.
