how old are u? 15? ok, i understand.
"it doesn't really seem like a type of music that a metalhead could get into". what about Anthrax??? ha, "Bring Tha Noize" with PE and "I'm The Man". Crossover between Metal and Rap has been here for more than 15 years and you are wondering if there are any metalheads out there that actually like it? have you been sleeping for the last 15 years?
if there was no PE (Public Enemy) then i wouldn't be a metalhead! PE's and Anthrax's "Bring Tha Noize" got me into metal and i'm a true metalheart since then. forget pop-rap-shit like Will Smith, Eminem and the whole hip hop-soul-crap on mtv. i've been listening to hip hop for fucking 14 years! Young MC tought Faith No More's Mike Patton how to rap. think about Ice-T, he loves Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, Pantera etc. and is one of my favorite rap-artists. Ice-T recorded a song with Slayer, Cypress Hill recorded with Biohazard and Fear Factory. Biohazard like Rap and remixed a song by Onyx ("Slam"), Obituary like Ice-T and did a Death-Rap on "Back From The Dead" and those are just a few examples out of so many.
There are soo many true metalheads who like hip hop, i even know blackmetal-people who listen to rap sometimes. At a Body Count-gig i saw people with Manowar-,Motörhead-,Maiden- and Priest-shirts, Body Count is Ice-T's band. Body Count's guitar-player Ernie C. produced a Black Sabbath-record.
Yo! Man!
