Rapcore: The Nu-Metal Rap Fusion

Dick Porter

Rapcore explores the evolution of the 21st century's preeminent genre of heavy rock, Nu-Metal. Author Dick Porter defines the origins of the fusion of hip hop, punk, reggae, and rock that drives this popular sound. He discusses early innovators such as George Clinton and Run DMC, contemporary masters Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit, and peripheral but influential figures such as Ice-T, Eminem, and Rob Zombie. The contributions of Slipknot, Linkin Park, Papa Roach, and others are also covered.
