Rap rock is easily one of the most maligned forms of heavy music ever. And deservedly so: For every Rage Against the Machine, there seems to be a thousand shitty Limp Bizkit-wigger-wannabes or crunkcore Biebers-gone-bad. Part of the reason why most rap rock sucks so much is probably because it always seems to be the rockers who are adopting the rap tropes, not the rappers (Lil Wayne, not respecting) picking up guitars and cranking the distortion—and if you can’t really rap in the first place, your rap rock is pretty much destined to blow.
