| ::::::This whole rapcore genre is made up. Whenever ] bands, or bands that had ties to hardcore, added a new element to their music, fans always felt the need to re-classify them. For example, the ] were rastafarians who also performed reggae songs. As a result, they were labeled rastacore. Here in New Jersey, the band ] would perform hardcore that much more lighthearted and everybody seemed to be wearing a baseball hat. As a result, we jokingly called them hatcore. Nobody took the terms seriously. In fact, these sub-genre titles were so insignificant that nobody has bothered to create articles on them. The only hardcore sub-genre that was commercially accepted, was ] and that's only because ] used the term in an album title. As far as I can tell, the term rapcore must have been coined in Europe because I've never heard anyone, here in America, use the term. I suggest putting the article up for deletion but even if the article were to stay, half of the bands listed should not even be considered as they have no ] ties and THAT'S where the "core" part of the term comes from. It has nothing to do with rock, funk or heavy metal. ] 18:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::::::: So much for made up genres and doing 10-second Google searches... Rapcore is the modern name for rap-rock, I think this is understood. That's its basic formula, being artificial has nothing to do with it. And I've never even heard of ska-core in the states, but the endless and pointless metal/queer/etc/core subdivisions do pop up every now and then. Also, just because it's a portmanteau doesn't mean it's somehow illegal. Hardcore is a genre of rock, is it not? <font size="1" face="verdana" color="#00A7EE">]</font> 19:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::Finding it on Google doesn't make it legit. Ska-core, although accepted, is just as silly as rapcore. (Since you've never heard of it though, the album referred to is ].) While I am all for deletion of the article, I'm not opposed to merging it with another article. I never said it was illegal either but where do the subgenres stop? It also doesn't need to be added to every band that seems to have an element of rap and rock, as ] has been doing. ] 20:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::When it hits a million, there's some doubts to be had as to how illegit it really is. I don't really care about this article, but to say that this genre is fake, when it's rather obvious that it isn't is ignorant. <font size="1" face="verdana" color="#00A7EE">]</font> 20:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::It's as real as any of the other bogus sub-genre classifications people feel the need to put bands in. While belonging to larger genres of music, terms like rastacore, hatcore, ska-core and rapcore are usually localized terms created by fans and not adopted by the music community at large. It doesn't matter how many items are returned on Google. ] will return just as many websites but it doesn't make it real. Don't get so bent out of shape. Whether the article stay or goes, my main point is just to have ] stop automatically adding rapcore to every article concerning bands that have elements of rap. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the bands listed would not even consider the term when applied to them. ] 20:51, 9 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::::::::::I'm not defending hatcore or rapcore for that reason. I'm saying that it's better to stay since the term has had at least the dubious honor of being written up in Misplaced Pages, to some extent in depth. LUCPOL can do as he desires, which seems to be to let the grown ups pick up trash after him. And while Jackalope is certainly ludicrous, not only is it completely verifiable, nearly 80 years old, and it has appeared in various forms of entertainment. So its comparison to a new term for rap-rock is rather strange. I'm not against this being a disambig page, like I said I could care less whether this article is about robots making soup, the point is it isn't so obviously localized as you make it out to be and deserves more research than the musical chairs game LUCPOL keeps playing with the genre box. <font size="1" face="verdana" color="#00A7EE">]</font> 00:59, 10 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::::::::The decision to use Jackalope was strictly to illustrate using Google search for a term is not always the best research, as it will bring up items that don't actually exist. Does the term rapcore exist? Of course it does if it's being talked about on these websites. According to the list in the article though, the term is too vague to accurately describe every band listed. As I said before, if it was strictly describing bands that came out of or were connected to the ] scene, where the "core" suffix derives from, I'd understand the connection. It doesn't though. So far, it just lists any rap group that happens to use guitar or any band that happens to incorporate rap. As a result, ] just adds rapcore to any such band's article. You yourself complained and removed his "contribution" to the ] article. If this is such a universally accepted term, then I'm sorry, but if that's the case, then it needs to be seriously cleaned up and redefined. It's not doing its job and is only lumping bands together based on one small similarity. ] 01:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC) | |||
| ] and ] are straight up hip hop/rap groups. The just used a guitar as a interlude is a few of their songs, they don't rap while the guitar beat is playing. Also, why do you think they do songs with ], ], ], ], ], ], ], etc.? They are all gangsta or hardcore rappers. I'll admit ICP and Twiztid are not really gangsta rap (except a few songs), but they definately are hardcore hip ho | |||

No mention of Red Hot Chili Peppers ?
According to the article the first rap rock album seems to be Licensed to Ill (1986). But what about the first The Red Hot Chili Peppers album released in 1984 ? Doesn't it deserve to be mentioned ? I think this album is definitely rap rock. Elfast (talk) 15:50, 8 August 2016 (UTC) same with korn — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.58.104.26 (talk) 08:54, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
Rapcore = Rap metal
I've been thinking for a while that rap metal and rapcore are the same genre. Anyone who supports my thinking? Erlandinho (talk) 14:49, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
- Rapcore and rap metal being the same thing would mean punk and metal are the same thing. The rapcore section definitely mentions a lot of bands more commonly cited as being rap metal bands, but they're by no means the same. There are rap metal bands who are undoubtedly influenced by punk and hardcore, namely Rage Against the Machine, but calling the Transplants a rap metal would be a massive stretch, for example.

- Meh, all the bands cited as rapcore are rap metal, not only in this article. Even bands like Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit are cited as rapcore, and they don't have that punk sound at all. There are bands, like Beastie Boys, who has punk roots, but their music is rap rock. It seems like some webs call rap metal rapcore because it's "hard" sound and they put the "core" to name all of those bands playing hard music (metal) with rap voices. I know that personal opinions are useless here, but you know... Erlandinho (talk) 18:59, 6 October 2019 (UTC) PD: (i'm Spanish, sorry for bad "speaking").
KISS
Including the line about KISS is so arbitrary. I listened to the track, there is no rap in it. Rap is focused on backbeats, the singer in this song is just talk singing. If you are going to include talk singing, then you have to say Subterranean Homesick Blues is the first popular rock rap song, and that is just ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:7EEF:F800:2D01:6CBB:BC61:1645 (talk) 02:36, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
