Top 10 Best Rap Rock Rappers
A rap rocking rapper, or a singer who occasionally raps, these guys add some hip hop to their rock style sounds.
Michael Kenji "Mike" Shinoda (born 11 February 1977) is an American musician, rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer, graphic designer, manager and film composer. He co-founded Linkin Park in 1996 and is the band's rhythm guitarist, primary songwriter, keyboardist, producer, and co-lead vocalist. He is the best, Linkin park is the best and he is the most amazing rapper and vocalist ever. I love the way they make their music like A light that never comes I love that song!
This guy is rapper of all rockers. Period. Check out "I have not begun" by Linkin Park. And you'd know why he's in the number 1 slot.
"I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey, I will not dance even if the beat's funky". - Mike Shinoda.
Principal song writer of Linkin Park, A poetic genius..
Zacharias Manuel "Zack" de la Rocha (born January 12, 1970) is an American musician, poet, rapper, and activist best known as the vocalist and lyricist of rap metal band Rage Against the Machine from 1991–2000, and after the band's reunion in 2007 until their last show in 2011. He left Rage Against the Machine in October 2000, and embarked on a low-key solo career. With former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, de la Rocha also co-founded One Day as a Lion in 2008. One of the leading activists of the 1990s. He has this accent for his rapping. By the way Rage Against the Machine is Funk Metal. That's why he sounds the way he does. His lyrics are amazing. Look at the song titles. Maggie's Farm, Bombtrack, Bulls On Parade, Take the Power Back, Killing in the Name, How Could I Just Kill a Man, Renegades of Funk, Guerrilla Radio, Ghost of Tom Joad. Albums are Rage Against the Machine, Evil Empire, The Battle of Los Angeles, and Renegades. He even had Maynard James Keenan from Tool in their first album featured in a song. He recruited Tim Cummorford as bassist and backup vocalist. Not only can he rap, but he can yell scream.
The fact that Zach is getting beat by others on here is hilarious. RATM is the only band to genuinely fuse rock/rap. Makes me think most people voting are too young to remember their debut. Zach goes hard lyrically and has been given props by legendary hip hop artists like KRS One and Chuck D
It's a disgrace that Mike Shinoda is ahead of Zack. Zack's music will straight up teach you things and enlighten you. Linkin Park whines about Daddy issues in 80% of their songs..hell Zack even does THAT better.
This is like saying Vanilla Ice is better than Eminem or Nickelback is better than Metallica
De La Rocha is a rock god. Mike Shinoda's a cool guy and all, but De La Rocha managed to have the spirit of punk combined with the music of funk metal and the art of rapping.
Trevor McNevan is by far the best rock rapper. He is a great rock singer and he's an even better rapper. He own two awesome bands, Thousand Foot Krutch and FM Static, which both, especially TFK have great rock and rap songs. Trevor McNevan is also extremely good live. His songs Puppet and Rawkfist are perfect examples of great rock/rap songs and his new FM Static songs, especially My Brain Says Stop But My Heart Says Go have a lot of good rapping in them with of course good rock music. And the best of all he's a christian rapper!
Come on people you have to vote for Trevor McNevan he is the best!
The real deal. Does both rap and rock vocals without any real supporting vocals. His lyrics mean something. Not just strong words and themes thrown together to get attention. Like some on this list.
Thousand Foot Krutch, Linkin Park, and POD came out with Set it Off, Hybrid Theory, and Satellite around the same time, and should be the standard for rap/rock albums. Keep rocking you three!
Whats? Trevor is the best singing the rap rock and of all trevor is amazing in live
How is Mike shinoda better than him? the only reason mike is so popular is because he got chester to back him up, J3T is the real deal
Should be number 1 no one can compare to him he's by far the best just listen to songs like; Young, S.C.A.V.A. , Paradise Lost and Lion.
Jacoby Dakota Shaddix is an American musician, singer-songwriter, sporadic actor and former television presenter.
Christopher Scott Greenwood, better known by his stage name Manafest, is a Canadian Christian rapper and rock artist from Pickering, Ontario.
Charlie is second only to Mike Shinoda in my opinion.
Robert James Ritchie Sr., known professionally as Kid Rock, is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, musician, record producer, activist, minister and actor.
Toby McKeehan, better known by his stage name TobyMac, is a Christian hip hop recording artist, music producer, hip-hop and pop artist, songwriter and author. Love his music...son is a pretty good rapper as well!
William Frederick "Fred" Durst is an American musician and film director. Durst is best known as the vocalist of the nu metal band Limp Bizkit, formed in 1994, with whom he has released six studio albums. Annoyingly-beautiful rap and great, funny personality rapper...
Idiots! Fred Durst is the best rock rapper. Definitely number 1.
Sorry "Anti-Limp Bizkit's", Fred Durst is the best rapper!
Not only does he got the rhythm and the flow, his lyrics are pure genius. He usually spits rhymes about the cosmos while still keeping the groove. Only SA can pull off that combo so perfectly and effortlessly. You're the man, SA!
Robert Matthew Van Winkle, known by his stage name, Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper, actor and television host.Almost nothing, but metal background for his rapping. The first Ghettoish metal band ever. An activist like Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine.
