Would People Listen To Heavy Metal And Rapping?

[Rancid Ryu]

I really wanna make Rapcore or Nu Metal. I can do screamed vocals and I can rap. And sometimes when I rap I put heat on my voice to make it sound gritty. Could I ever hit big with this kinda stuff. Cuz the only people I can think of thats doing this is Hollywood Undead, but thats 6 people I'm one person.

I'd say it could be done, and has, but it's a big hill to climb. If you recall there have been various acts as you've mentioned in the past, Anthrax/Public Enemy, Faith No More, Cypress Hill, kind of the Beastie Boys. I'd say there is less competition maybe, but regardless, what you do needs to be top notch and good enough to make it big. Same as all the other genres. It doesn't matter if it's Gospel/Rap, Country/Techno, or Rockabilliy/Classical if the song has all the magical components falling into place, it can make it big. It may be harder to go it alone, and especially when costs/finances are concerned. I will say though, if that's what you want to do, then go for it! Start as one and add other musicians as needed and when you can. Of course going it alone does depend on your musical abilities/ear too, not just the vocals.

It's possible but it depends on the beat and power of the music if it is It is hard to blend heavymetal and rap music.

as a rapper, it's hard to rap while your howling. The first element in rap is clearness of words. In case of heavy metal, it's will definitely create some conflict. NU Metal like Linkin Park and Limp Biskit - Raps, but, they don't howl their words.

But if you want it, then you can make it possible.

GO for it.. dude
