'''Rapcore''' (also known as '''rap rock''' and '''rap metal''') is a [[Fusion (music)|fusion genre]] consistent of [[Hip hop music|hip hop]] and [[rock music]], which is also heavily influenced by [[Heavy metal music|metal]] and [[Hardcore punk|hardcore]], and sometimes draws from [[punk rock]], [[funk]] and other genres.

The terms rapcore and [[nu metal]] are almost interchangeable when referring to bands such as [[Linkin Park]], [[Limp Bizkit]] and [[P.O.D.]] Rapcore and [[funk metal]] influences also go hand in hand in the music of [[Urban Dance Squad]], [[Rage Against the Machine]] and [[Faith No More]]. The term rap metal is sometimes used to refer to more metal-leaning rapcore bands, such as [[Korn]].

Like nu metal, the term rapcore can refer to a variety of different musical styles, from [[Run-D.M.C.]] to that of Korn.

==Genre history==
Rapcore developed in the mid to late [[1980s]], alongside funk metal.

The roots of rapcore are found in work of artists such as [[Anthrax (band)|Anthrax]], [[Public Enemy]], Run-D.M.C., [[Beastie Boys]], [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]], [[Biohazard (band)|Biohazard]], [[Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.]], [[311 (band)|311]], [[Suicidal Tendencies]] and Faith No More. Two of the first dedicated rapcore groups to receive mainstream attention were Rage Against the Machine and Urban Dance Squad, while it is unknown who are the first full-fledged rap-rock band.

== Themes ==

Rapcore's lyrical themes range from politics (Rage Against the Machine, [[downset.]], [[Senser]], [[Aztlan Underground]]), to hip hop frivolity (Limp Bizkit, [[Kid Rock]], [[Crazy Town]]), to personal struggles (Linkin Park, Korn).
