Rap Metal: Don't be a Hater

All it took was one band to bring down a whole genre. Regardless, there were some excellent rap-metal albums released from the early 1990's to current day. Several were groundbreaking releases, especially those in the early 1990's, while others seamlessly mixed and intertwined disparate styles (e.g., hip hop, metal, salsa, DJs, hard rock, reggae, hard rap, etc.). This list includes my top 40 albums within this unique genre. Note that Reggae-metal was not included in this list. So although Dub War (Pain), Skindred (Babylon, Roots Rock Riot), and 311 (Transistor) are superb albums, they are not included herein. I also attempted to keep out compilations (sorry Loud Rocks) and EPs, but a few EPs still managed to creep in. Enjoy (as if its the late 1990's and FD hasn't yet ruined it all)!

Similar to Adrenaline above, not sure what category this album truly fits in. But the Spanish rap metal sections are awesome!

Honestly, I hesitated putting this album on here as, although it has elements of Rap Metal, it has so much more. This album defies categorization to this day.
