Therapy provided an indie-metal background on Come And Die with (the now forgotten) Fatal. Helmet produced a weightier than normal version of their tight grunge to back House Of Pain on Just Another Victim, which is effective, despite some clunky rhymes – “Feeling like De Niro in Taxi Driver, with Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel, feels like I’m walking through a living hell”. provided an unexpected highlight with the brutally aggressive Another Body Murdered – “Bang yo’ head to this!”.Īt the heavier end of the spectrum you had Biohazard playing on the track Judgment Night with Onyx – who at that time, on the back of their excellent single Slam, looked likely to fill the void left by the self-destructing NWA. Living Colour’s funk complemented Run DMC perfectly on Me, Myself & My Microphone and Faith No More/Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. Artists who take themselves seriously are much less likely to dabble in rap rock these days, such is the damage that the likes of Kid Rock have done to its kudos.īut the Judgment Night soundtrack came out at a time when the genre was at its peak, and most of the bands involved were too, leading to an eclectic collection of unique collaborations. And it was REALLY FUCKING GOOD! Mixing the expressiveness of rap with the aggression of heavy guitar music was an obvious move. It was also the time of the first Gulf War and the Rodney King verdict, which resulted in music getting more political and angrier. This was a time when both ‘alternative’ rock and hip-hop were crossing over to the mainstream and rap was diversifying in many different directions. It’s fair to say that the early-’90s was when rap rock reached its pinnacle.
The following year, Rage Against The Machine released their seminal, self-titled first album. Throughout the ‘80s there were several notable collaborations between highly-regarded rap and rock acts, either side of the Beastie Boys’ crossover success fusing the genres on Licence To Ill, but Public Enemy and Anthrax’s 1991 reworking of Bring The Noise might be the genre’s definitive tune. I made it one of my earliest CD purchases, at a time when CDs were generally 50% more expensive than records – pretty much the opposite of now.īack in 1993 rap rock had a lot more credibility than it does now, in these post-Limp Bizkit times. The teenage me couldn’t have been more excited without involving Winona Ryder in some way. Some of my favourite bands were included here, along with some of my favourite rap acts.
