How come no one's ever succesfully merged rock and rap?

>>74018956
Probably because the style of rock chosen is usually pretty basic and not very experimental.

This is the logical conclusion to rap rock

>>74018956
Because rap isn't music.
Its stupid fucking garbage.

What's with all the fucking redditors on /mu/ today? Are you all stuck in a perpetual loop from 2013 where you think this shit is still funny?

Mark Stewart, Stetsasonic, Bill Laswell
Later you got Roots, Sonic Sum, all that shit

You seem a little upset, brother. Should I play some Chopin instead?

Their music is still more fun to listen to than any other modern hip-hop act

>>74020477
Stop projecting, you whiny little shit.

RATM realised that if you want to make rap rock you have to use rock instrumentation that sounds like hip hop not rock,basically you have to focus more on rap rather than rock

Honestly, the problem with Limp Bizkit was Fred Durst and his dumbass persona. The rest of the band was pretty solid.

>>74018956
because rapping is too dominant as a vocal approach. you need something that works with the instruments and not just on top of them

if you want something more "modern" than beastie boys, the best I can think of is some of tricky's work, but I don't know if that can really qualify as traditional rapping

how about this?

This is about as "prog" as rap rock gets.
Good stuff.

>>74018956
Because rock and funk being meld together is far better. Just like funk is better than rap

>>74021634
Funk and rap are absolutely compatible tho

Kids These Days kinda did it but then they split off and all the ex-members individual projects are absolute shit

N*E*R*D nigga
