The fusion of rap and rock,
first sketched out by
The Clash with "The Magnificent Seven" and
Blondie with "Rapture" back in 1980 and
codified as we know it in
The Eighties by the
Beastie Boys and
Run-D.M.C.. Subgenres include
Punk Rap and
Rap Metal, which is sometimes confused with
Nu Metal, resulting in some overlap.
