Maybe not the best but one of them. Rapcore is one of my favorite music genres ever. Pretty much made for me, put two of my favorite things together, Rap and Hardcore. It's a pretty dumbass name, mashing the two genres it's made of together. You'd think they'd come up with something more creative, but ig not. It's commonly mixed up with Rap Metal since they put rock and hiphop together. I personally think it's easy to tell the difference. Rap Metal are made of fraudulent cucks like Limp Dick and Ratm, unlike the alpha Rapcore bands like Downset and Biohazard. On a more serious comparison, Rap Metal really does just sound like heavy metal with rapping thrown in. Rapcore is that but with hardcore instrumentals and way more aggressive vocals.

As many things in life I stumbled upon the genre through my hatred of Ratm. The band Downset dissed em in their first demo tape during the song "Anger". And I thought that shit was good asl. I went on to listen to their first album that the final version of the song is in, Downset. Sadly they took out the diss but it was still heat. I went on to listen to their available discography in it's entirety. My favorite is still probably their self titled with "Do We Speak A Dead Language" a close second.

Anyway, after doing that I dove into the genre. As I mentioned before people tend to mix up genres along with it being kinda niche it's a little debated on who are actually Rapcore bands. Many different people have different list of them and disagree alot. Some people don't even think Downset is considered one. Certain bands come up often so those are some I'm pretty sure they are. Some of my favorites are Downset, Biohazard, Canderia, and Dog Eat Dog. They're also kinda the essentials for Rapcore, so if you want a place to start I recommend them! Really if you're into Nu-Metal, Rap Rock, or other similar genres I recommend a listen, please....
