The roots of rapcore can be found in albums by artists such as the Beastie Boys, Run DMC, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Typical of rapcore are political bands like Rage Against the Machine, End7, Senser and Aztlan Underground on the one hand and fun/aggression-oriented artists like Limp Bizkit, Crazy Town, Linkin Park, or Kid Rock on the other. The first dedicated rapcore band was probably the little-known Dutch group Urban Dance Squad that inspired the founders of Rage Against the Machine.
