Origins and early development (1980s-early 1990s)Edit
Rap metal originated from rap rock, a genre fusing vocal and instrumental elements of hip hop with rock.[2] The genre's roots are based both in hip hop acts that sampled heavy metal songs, such as Beastie Boys,[3] Cypress Hill,[4] Esham[5][6] and Run–D.M.C.,[7] as well as rock bands who fused heavy metal and hip hop influences, such as 24-7 Spyz[8] and Faith No More.[9] Scott Ian of Anthrax (who helped pioneer the genre) believes Rage Against the Machine invented the genre.[10]
In 1987, New York thrash metal band Anthrax fused hip hop with heavy metal for their extended play I'm the Man,[11] and then were teamed up with Public Enemy for a remake of the latter's "Bring the Noise" that fused hip hop with thrash metal.[12] The next year rapper Sir Mix-a-Lot teamed up with Metal Church for his 1988 single "Iron Man", loosely based upon the Black Sabbath song of the same name.[2] In 1990, rapper Ice-T formed a heavy metal band called Body Count, and while performing at the 1991 Lollapalooza tour performed a set that was half rap songs and half metal songs. Stuck Mojo, a metal band whose vocalist rapped, is considered to be another pioneer of the genre.[13][14]

I'm impressed you maintained your cover as "Meta" for so long. Usually you are easy to detect.
Still, I am sad that Meta was never actually a real person. :(
