No mention of Red Hot Chili Peppers ?
[edit]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.

Rapcore = Rap metal
[edit]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
[edit]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)
