No, I heard a few DHH tracks on college radio when I was in ninth grade and, at around that time, a girl I was friends with assured me that I would like Consolidated.
I just remembered the existence of this ill-considered genre this morning. It could probably only have existed during a narrow window in the late 80s/early 90s.
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy Beatnigs Consolidated MC 900 Foot Jesus
Who among you checked?
I had the DHH tape back in the day--I remember seeing the "Famous and Dandy (Like Amos n' Andy)" video and being intrigued. That shit was aimed squarely at over-pseudo-intellectual college sophomores.
Spearhead is like when Michael Franti decided to stop imitating PE and start imitating Arrested Development.
I did once buy a Spearhead CD for $3 circa 1995, and regretted it as soon as I listened to it.

Hard not to check some of it down here in Texas as the clubs we would go to to hear rap were simultaneously playing industrial as well.
Renegade Soundwaves' Biting My Nails was a club hit down here, if that qualifies (awful rap in it, but that's not what was ctahcing peoples' ears about it).
MC 900 Ft Jesus...he wasn't much of a rapper either, but I like(d) a couple of his instrumentals.
Consolidated...they would show their Vivisection video every single afternoon on the local cable access video show.
Disposable Heroes...I played a track or 2 from their first album on my radio show back then, but never felt the need to own the album myself.
Never heard the Beatnigs...but the Skatenigs, yes:
That Bowie stuff - im hesitant to call it Industrial or Industrial Hip Hop by the late 90's or Early 00's. I thought it was a dead term by then.
Electronica had became the 'umbrella term'.
I will say though - Industrial Rap was the pre-cursor to that Dr. Octagon type steez.
that makes sense, and it was a single from bowie's "electronica" album--the follow up to his "industrial-ish" album. as far as i know, "industrial" as an umbrella term seemed to have been swallowed up by the even bigger umbrella term of "electronica"
i'm kinda spinning off in slightly different directions now (?), but i completely forgot about this album (and with good reason!). "synthcore re-makes of your favorite rap jams," indeed.
nu-metal? i'm trying to veer off into synthcore. battery's cover of "gangsta's paradise" was a groundbreaking song that opened up the door for other hip white girls to record ironic covers of popular rap jamz.
I had the MC 900 Foot Jesus - Hell with The Lid Off album for a minute. I would put it more in an acid-influenced rap bag myself. Didn't do a lot for me. I rode for A Deeper Shade of Soul by Urban Dance Squad when that came out, and still get a nostalgic vibe if I hear it. I also recall being surprised by the twist at the end of Hole in The Bucket by Spearhead the first time I heard it on the radio.
That's the only song I remember by those dudes. Talmbout "moonlight spills on comic books and superstars in magazines" if I remember correctly. Never thought of it as rap-related though.
would this category include El-P? i was never into his shit but i thought he had some interesting ideas (ok maybe just 1 basically)
haha- i had that justin warfield back in the day on tape- how embarrassed should i be? can't really remember it at all except it had that bobbi humphrey sample.
i also had disposable heroes CD back when it was out. got rid of it a long time ago but i remember liking one song that had charlie hunter on it.

I own Alec Empire's Generation Star Wars('94) , but I dont really feel like its within a Hip Hop Genre at all.
dalek was mentioned previously, some of their stuff would probably fit.

I must confess that there was like one or two songs by these dudes that I liked back in high school. An interesting time for me to say the least...

Sinead O'Connor had a kind of embarrassing industrial rap joint on her 1994 album Universal Mother.

THERE WAS A HOLE. IN HIS POCKET! ZOMG!
Post-Industrial Rap?
That's the only song I remember by those dudes. Talmbout "moonlight spills on comic books and superstars in magazines" if I remember correctly. Never thought of it as rap-related though.
Edit: I meant Primitive Radio Gods.
I always liked this... Well, the remix off this same 12" that's not this youtube.
Damn son...
