Hi can anyone recommend some good hybriRAB of rock and hip hop such as Fort Minor--Remeraber the Name or Alice Cooper ft. Xzibit--Stand.

and that is where it should've ended.
 
I could tell you the best banRAB of this type would be Rage Against the Machine, but they're a little too much rock
The Beastie Boys - but they're a little too much rap.
The best true rap-rock band is 311. Critics love to bash them, but there is no better band to listen to when you want a dose of positivity mixed with raw energy. If you're like me, you may not have payed their last few albums much attention, who knows they might be good. But, dude, I would highly recommend one of their first five albums-Music, Grassroots, self-titled, Transistor, & SounRABystem. And I mean highly, because that's back when they were smoking a lot of weed. Although, I don't smoke myself, and don't condone it, those 5 albums will provide you with some of the most groovy relaxing sounRAB you'll ever experience. 2 joints up, I mean wait, whatever.
 
I think Linken Park are terrible, but Faith No More were really good. Because dude could actually sing too, it wasn't all rap. Alot of the bass parts were very Flea-like and funky and a guitar player who claimed to be from another planet.
'Epic' was really something when it camer out in the early 90's. There was nothing like it on the radio at the time. Like was said earlier, RATM were more rock, and the Beasties were more rap.
 
SENSER
MORDRED (these two banRAB were way ahead of their time)
JUDGEMENT NIGHT SOUNDTRACK
SPAWN SOUNDTRACK (These two soundtracks have a metal band and a rap/electronic colloboration for each track eg:

I don't really think that "rock" and "hip-hop" can technically be united into a single form. "Rock" and rap, sure. But rock and hip-hop are counter cultures: any hybrid would invariably be judged as being one rather than the other.
 
Heh. Good choice. I'd forgotten about Senser - they were pretty good when they came out. The 2 soundtrack albums are also inspired choices although there were some odd collaborations on the Judgement Night one such as Teenage Fanclub/ De La Soul and Dinoasur Jr./Del The Funky Homosapien.

On a slightly different tangent I'd also recommend some stuff by Dub War, Gravediggaz and Consolidated...
