Sounded vaguely familiar when I first started listening but then when the harder chorus came on and he took off his hat, it hit me! Damn. Good song. He really reminds me of Mike Patton around the time with his long hair.

Which reminds me, wasn't Faith No More doing rap-rock before this even? The Real Thing came out in 1989 with the single "Epic" (below for those that don't know it), and even Chuck Mosley's style before that was pretty much rap. Granted, they weren't scratching on turntables or using hip-hop samples and such.



Anthrax was pretty early in the game too with Attack of the Killer B's in 1991.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
