a type of heavy metal that has a rap like tendency but unlike rap music which is horrible and makes no sense at all

A misconception. It is supposed to be a combination of heavy metal and rap music, but these genres are fundamentally different. Rap focuses primarily on rhyming vocals with a simple and repetative beat in the background. Metal is the combination of fast and complicated instrument work with intense vocals. Hence the two genres cannot mix.
People say crap bands like Linkin Park, Papa Roach and Rage Against the Machine are rap metal. None of these bands have an ounce of metal in them, and probably fail at rapping too. They are prime examples of undertalented, overwhore MTV bullshit.

Probably the most annoying youtube comment war in the world. Each side acts like their genre requires talent and creativity, while the other genre requires retards to strum a few guitar strings or punch a few things in on the computer. This is a pointless argument. Some rap artists suck. Some metal bands suck. Other rap artists are talented. Other metal bands are talented. Each genre takes skill to come up with something new and make it sound good. Thus, the argument that spans millions of people, is pointless.
Rap vs. Metal
Rap fan- Dude metal sucks it's just some whiny kids screaming into a mic and playing some guitar!
Metal fan- Wow retard how about rap its just some guys rhyming about their "dogs" and saying "Nigga"!
Everyone isn't an ignorant asshole- Cool deal brah.

a combination/crossover between both metal and rap. most of the time this means that the same riff will repeat constantly in the song without much variation. its composition is made up of rap lyrics over the metal instrumental.
