    (And before I get abuse for being any sort of anything i'll just state clearly that im a lover of all music, I can spend weeks listening to Pantera or P-Diddy, Queens of the Stone Age or Q-Tip. Intergenre collaboration is something I admire and I wish more artists gave consideration to)

    "Judgement Night" soundtrack - 1994 movie with Denis Leary, Cuba Gooding Jnr and Stephen Dorff or someone like that. Soundtrack is top-to-bottom rap-rock crossover and bands like Therapy, Pearl Jam and Faith No More on it. Slayer and Ice T did a song called "Disorder" as far as I recall.

    .



    I assumed from the poll question, you meant songs that were actually recorded not DIY home mixes by Internet users. In which case, you forgot to include Britney Spears and Metallica. I hear thats an ok version.

    No, the poll asks for your favourite rock-rap collaboration, and i wouldnt consider Britney Spears very "ghetto" or "gangsta". At that rate of going New Order vs. Kylie Minogue and The Strokes vs. Christina could be in here. So I decided to keep it strictly rock/rap.

    When the hell did Britney Spears ever 'collaborate' with Metallica anyway? "So F**king What" was a remix by someone else. I don't believe they ever met up in studio to re-record a song TOGETHER.

    Walk this way is the one for me, i love anthrax & P.E. too.
    what about the butch vig remix of house of pain?
    It certainly rocked the shop back in the day before rock/rap became
    NU-Metal or wotever it is you crazy kids call it.
    love de la soul vs teenage fan club on the judgement night album too.

    Jay Z and Linkin Park for definite.

    It's possibly one of the best things I've heard in a long time.
