772.0. "Metal/Rap Fusion" by SONATA::SFESSLER (I'm so bad, baby, I don't care) Wed Jul 10 1991 14:00

    There has been a sort of trend (I guess you could call it that) in
    heavy metal music:  rap/metal fusion.  Such bands include the Beastie
    Boys, Black & White (AC/DC, Led Zep guitar riffs), Urban Dance Squad,
    and Leeway (Saw a vid on HBB).  There have also been some metal/rap
    collaborations, such as "Walk This Way" (not too f***in' obvious who
    did that) and "Iron Man," as done by Metal Church and Sir Mix-A-Lot (a
    REAL scorcher).  In this note, feel free to:
    
    			1. Name other bands/collaborations I haven't
    
    			2. Feel free to comment on this type of metal
    			   (I know y'all will)=-)

772.1I'll be the first to comment.DPDMAI::THRELFALLM. Y. O. F. B. !Wed Jul 10 1991 14:104
     I am tired of all the rappers rippin' off AC/DC and Aerosmith!
    
    They couldn't come up with anything themselves, so why not rip off the
    two greatest H_M bands of all times...
772.2Plenty of others!COMET::FRISBYAProclaimed Hair-FarmerWed Jul 10 1991 14:4411

    I don't like the idea of rap and H_M mixing together, it doesn't seem
    to work. Take Faith No More for example 8)
    
    It's a good idea in that each style of music gets exposure to each type
    of fan ie rap to H_M fans and vice verse, but it kinda ruins the music
    when you have a fairly heavy musical background and someone trying to
    rap to it. What'll it be next? M.C. Hammer and Napalm Death 8)
    
    Anyway that's just my opinion.

    It's awesome! I've been listeing to the new Anthrax EP and there's
    a couple like this on there. Great stuff!
772.6i like itFASDER::AHERBAl is the *first* nameMon Aug 19 1991 00:184
    I like some of it.. But then again I like the TRUE heavy metal better..
    MY band 'chuck wagon'puts rap and metal together but we do no{wok
    really rap. It is like angry screaming rap.
    
772.7ARE YOU GUYS FOR REAL???NETRIX::"MKOTS3::[email protected]"THE EARTH VERSES METue Aug 20 1996 09:2811
RAGE, POWERMAN 5000, TOOL, UHH NEED I SAY MORE??
Nowadays Its hard to be original, so much has been done. music
is music, one person may want to portray a certain type of emotion
or message. As long as he/she isn't all cracked up on drugs there
is usually a emotion that can be pulled from any music. IMO I think
what you refer to as a "fusion of H_M and Rap" is exactly what the
music industry needs. I'm sick of people being spoon fed top 40
bands that have *NO* talent. Its time for new stuff not the same old
circle of fifths bull@#$? (anyone know anything about music??)
IMO ROCK ON! just be yourself and play through your soul not drugs n' money. Make any sence to anyone? Chris =)

772.8Just shut up and play!TMAWKO::BELLAMYWhat fresh hell is this?Tue Aug 20 1996 10:337
    Damn straight! Abso-freakin-lutely!
    
    Lets face the other way and do circle of fourths instead. Or, better
    yet, remove the trash vocals that exist in most H_M and "Rap" muzak.
    Then we might start getting some real music. I have grown very tired of
    primal screams and tribal chants being passed off as singing, and
    having to listen through them to find the music.
