I know rock has been in hip hop throughout, but about 1995-2005 was when an actual crossover sub-genre was formed .....Thoughts.

Rage Against the Machine
Limp Bizkit
Kid Rock
Linkin Park
Incubus
Gorillaz
Etc

This era included many rock-centric tracks from more traditional MCs and producers

I fukking loved it. I still listen to The chocolate colored starfish and the hot dog flavored water, issues, follow the leader, Zach De La Rocha is underrated as a rapper. His delivery and voice is powerful. When do done right it is my favorite form of music

Used to like the genre alot as a TEEN. Now I can't fukk with any one of those bands, except for maybe Deftones and sometimes Manson. The vocals really don't age well for alot of these bands. Korn.... The lyric content is just too fukked to bump on the regular nowadays... Limp Bizkit. Would be a great Alt Rock band if they had chose an actual singer instead of Durst trying to rap and sing. Go youtube Limp Bizkit instrumentals, guitarist and drummer as amazing but songs are pure unlistenable trash because of the vocals.

EDIT: Seen above post, yeah RATM I can still jam to also.. Their music actually fits with today's conspiracy fukk the government times, shame they don't record new shyt.

The worst of two genres combined what could go wrong? Rock had to attach itself to Hiphop to stay relevant in the 2000's, then the whole genre became irrelevant.

Been thinking this more and more as of late.

I really dig this remix of N 2Gether Now that takes Fred completely off of it

Was listening to Red Hot Chili who's majority of albums were produced by who......Rick Rubin....the same person that produced the first hits for Def Jam, especially LL Cool J.

"He's (Rick Rubin) the most talented producer in the history of the world" - Russell Simmons

I would say Russell has an strong merit based argument for genre versatility...
