Yes it's bearable in metal. Generally what I define as rap is the usual stuff they play on the radio. Which usually only talks about sex drugs and violence. If rappers would come up with something to rap about other than these same three categories over and over, I wouldn't hate it as much.So it's just the lyrics you don't like, not the sound? Cuz I've heard rap that talks about hoodies and the assumptions people make about you when you're wearing 'em ('Hoodie'), I've heard rap about fake tans ('Tango'), the music business getting all fethed ('Help Is Coming'), Columbine ('Way I Am') (wait, that's violence), protests ('La Rage'), race ('Black Stacey'), Iraq ('March Of Death', 'Mosh'), nostalgia ('Those Were the Days'), mail order brides ('10 Dollar') (well, that's sorta sex...), and bothering your neighbors with loud music ('Fiddle With The Volume').
However, about 80% of those examples were from non-American rap, so go figure.
Would you count Rage Against The Machine as metal/rap?
