Slipknot don't rap and they're nu-metal. Rap like vocals are a characteristic but not all nu metal acts need them to be so. Nu-metal is mainly defined by it's sound. It's hard to explain but when you listen to Linken Park and Korn and L-Biskit they have this very similar tone to their music, and a fairly pop-like song structure.
