This fusion was [[TropeMakers first sketched out]] of the PostPunk experimentation of bands like Music/TheClash, who were influenced by Music/GrandmasterFlashAndTheFuriousFive on their songs "The Magnificent Seven" and "This Is Radio Clash", and Music/PublicImageLtd, who collaborated with Afrika Bambaataa on the song "World Destruction", as well as [[NewWaveMusic New Wave]] bands like Music/{{Blondie|Band}} with "Rapture" back in 1980 and [[TropeCodifier codified as we know it]] in TheEighties by the Music/BeastieBoys and [[Music/RunDMC Run-D.M.C]].

* Music/KidRock is often noted as a link between HipHop and RapRock, as he started off as a Hip Hop DJ before developing his distinctive fusion of Rap, SouthernRock and CountryMusic.

The key difference between Rap Rock and other genres that contain Rock and Hip Hop elements combined, is that Rap Rock is more closely related to the more experimental sides of Hip Hop, Punk or Rock, while Rap Metal's roots are more closely tied to AlternativeMetal, and while Rap Rock tends to be more {{Funk}} oriented and rooted in a more organic Hip Hop influenced sound, Rap Metal sounds more rooted in HardRock/Alt-Metal and essentially sounds more like a metal vocalist rapping over heavy electric guitars, with the Hip Hop elements of Rap Metal sounding more like they were overdubbed onto Metal songs rather than organically integrated into the music, as Rap Rock had done, while PunkRap tends to be used to describe a very specific form of Trap music with Punk/Hardcore/Metal influences developed by rappers in the 2010s that is more Rap influenced by Rock than Rock influenced by Rap. This term is also confused with "Rapcore", which is sometimes used as a microgenre term to describe Hardcore/Punk bands who mix those styles with Rap, the exact inversion of Punk Rap's fusion. PsychedelicRap, which is a genre of Hip Hop that fuses Rap with PsychedelicRock and Psychedelic Soul, is also sometimes conflated with Rap Rock, though also unrelated. Nu Metal bands sometimes incorporated Hip Hop or Rap influences, but the genre is also not related directly to Rap Rock.

[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The fusion of rap and rock]], [[TropeMakers first sketched out]] by Music/TheClash with "The Magnificent Seven" and Music/{{Blondie|Band}} with "Rapture" back in 1980 and [[TropeCodifier codified as we know it]] in TheEighties by the Music/BeastieBoys and [[Music/RunDMC Run-D.M.C]], although one of the earliest examples (predating even HipHop!) would be [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iAypVaBVbo Year of the Guru]] by [[Music/TheAnimals Eric Burdon And The Animals]]. Subgenres include PunkRap and RapMetal, which is sometimes confused with NuMetal, resulting in some overlap.

It was at its most popular in TheNineties, thanks to the explosion of nu metal. Unfortunately, [[CondemnedByHistory that genre eventually fell out of favor]] with the general public, and rap rock fell alongside it by [[TakingYouWithMe sheer association]]. The '10s have seen a bit of a revival, but it's nowhere near as close to being as popular as it was back then.

As with RapMetal, the genre is sometimes mistakenly referred to as "rapcore". That is incorrect; rapcore is a fusion of [[PunkRap rap and punk]].
