Okay, I'm looking for other bands that are rap-core or alt-metal-rap, rap-metal, g-funk, whatever you want to call it, etc.

Some examples include:

Korn
(hed)pe
Limp Bizkit

what the hell is rap-core?

That's why I gave examples. It's metal music with more hip-hop-ish sounding lyrics (rhythm, not content).

How about you listen to something good instead :P

How about you not troll instead? Besides, who's to say I even listen to this? I only asked for someone to help me out and cite some other examples of similar music...

I'm actually listening to one of my Foo CDs right now.

Dubwar, I guess, and pretty obviously Bodycount.

Just so you guys know, I'm going to be looking up these with Napster and giving a quick listen. Anyway, when I search Dubwar, the only thing that came up was Dubware, was that what you meant?

If Dubware was what you meant, then that's nothing even close to rap-core...

Cool. Not as hard as the other examples I cited, but hip-hop alt nonetheless.

Nope, these chaps: Welsh, 1990s, a mix of reggae, rap, hadrcore and metal...

Interesting. Guess I'll have to find them somewhere besides Napster.

Anyway, Bodycount, meh. It's definitely the style, but I don't like it at all...

For some reason, unlike the other bands, Bodycount seems more like an aspiring rapper who is rapping over 80ish metal samples (instead of synth beats and stuff like traditional rap).

Not often you hear Ice-T described as 'an aspiring rapper'.

The part of the Bodycount album I listened to sounded more like a rap album that used metal samples...

Instead of (in the instance of the 3 examples I gave) a metal band with hip-hop-esque styled lyrics.

G-funk is old Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre stuff. ;)

Anyways, The Shizit, Taproot, Rage Against The Machine, newer Earth Crisis, Throwdown and Dry Kill Logic are all kinda what you're looking for?

what about fear factory, mastodon or machine head? yeah, they're a bit heavier but good stuff all the same.

G-funk is a term coined by (hed)pe...although it's also used to describe old school (and good) rap. (hed)pe isn't exactly too far from that though...


I don't really consider RATM what I'm thinking of in this thread, although, I do enjoy their music (and own their self-titled album), as for the other artists, I'll have to check them out later.

I don't listen to rap stuff much, but there's a band called "thousand foot crutch" that are metal rap maybe... :D

Edit: IMHO they're pretty good, which is saying alot cause normally I don't go near anything rap

I better get some sleep...

Yes, yes you should :D

not quite what you want, but a rap-punk band is zebrahead, worth a listen. maybe adema or lostprophets would be what you're after?

Just so all the douche-nozzles thinking about trolling my other thread about GOOD MUSIC (and the trolls that know nothing about it) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=434764) know, no where in this thread do I assess the quality of any of these bands.

I've heard just one Zebrahead song, but it was good.
