Rap rock is a genre that combines the lyrical intensity of hip-hop with the sonic energy of rock music, typically featuring driving guitar riffs, powerful drumming, and often, turntable scratching or sampling. Emerging in the late 1980s and gaining mainstream popularity in the 1990s, rap rock drew from the punk-infused hip-hop of the Beastie Boys and the socially conscious, guitar-driven sound of Rage Against the Machine. Characterized by aggressive rhythms, rap-rock vocal styles often blend rapid-fire delivery with melodic hooks, creating a unique soundscape that blends the rebelliousness of punk with the swagger of hip-hop. As a genre, rap rock tapped into the frustrations of a generation, providing a platform for socially conscious lyrics and high-energy live performances that resonated with fans of both rock and hip-hop. Its influence can still be heard in contemporary fusion styles, such as nu-metal and alternative hip-hop.
