It could be argued that metal and rap are two compatible lifeforces, sharing a basically common etymology and heritage, the former born on the back streets of England’s bleak industrial heartland, the latter in the ghettos of New York and Los Angeles – cities which themselves were, simultaneously, the breeding grounds for the nascent thrash and death metal movements. Both music forms appeal to the most basic of human instincts, and have never been afraid to address the hard, socio-political issues which many other forms of music deliberately choose to ignore because they won’t get them radio airplay or chart success… but, neither metal nor rap have worried about such niceties, as, at their basest levels (i.e. when it doesn’t have spoiled brats with rich parents bankrolling their offsprings’ ultimately failed ambition to be the “next big thing”) they are both the music of the streets, the underground – and the people.
