The C-800G was used prolifically in the early 90s by famous rap artists such as Dr Dre and Eminem. In this early era of Hip-Hop, it heavily influenced many different genres, one of those being Punk Rap. Artists like The Beastie Boys transitioned from Hard Punk to Hip-Hop, then figuring out how to blend the genres together, therefore creating "Punk Rap". The C-800G is commonly used in vocal recordings for aggressive rap styles. These "aggressive" styles of rap are very prevalent in Punk Rap, as shown in songs such as "Killing In The Name".  The C-800G also has a great range for recording, which helps artists who use their voices in many different ways, as Punk Rap artists do. The C-800G is a relatively flat microphone that has a slight boost at around 10kHz, which provides a bright recording with a punch that suits the performance style of Punk Rap.
