[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The fusion of]] PunkRock and HipHop falls into three distinct categories:

Type 1: Rappers and groups who incorporate punk elements into their HipHop music via sampling and/or some live instrumentation.

Type 2: A band that plays RapRock music that features the vocalist(s) rapping over punk instrumentation.

Type 3: When the band fuses rapping with HardcorePunk, it's called "Rapcore". Not to be confused with NuMetal, which is also sometimes called Rapcore.

Type 2 was more common in the 1990s and early 2000s with bands such as Music/BeastieBoys (a UrExample of the genre who started off as a HardcorePunk band in 1979 before becoming a HipHop group), Music/HedPE and Music/ZebraheadBand.

Type 1 is more common in the current wave of "Punk Rap" originating in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but has it's predecessors in some 90s-era artists like Music/KottonmouthKings (whose music was basically a smooth blend of G-funk PsychedelicRock and PunkRock with songs that occasionally dipped into other genres, like HardcorePunk, RapRock, {{Reggae}}, BlueGrass, Dubstep, Jam Band and more), and 80s UrExample Music/PublicEnemy, who recorded songs that set the ground for both Punk Rap and Industrial HipHop.

Since the late-2000s to early 2010s, Punk Rap is more frequently associated with Trap artists who combine punk and metal samples with lo-fi recordings and short, repetitive rap verses sometimes tempered with screaming.

Type 3 was killed by it's association with NuMetal, though it has slowly started to creep back, as artists like Fever 333 (as well as letlive., who had prominent hip-hop elements in their music), Show Me the Body, and Soul Glo have found some success in the late 2010s and early 2020s.
