Metal bands that mix in Rap/Hip Hop and don't suck

For the more open minded people here who don't think all rap/hip hop sucks, what are some good metal bands that incorporate all this into their music? Preferably black or death metal, but anything is fine if it's good.

Damn I'd like to hear some of that too! Right now I play at least one metal and one rap album a day... and I was just thinking yesterday how awesome it'd be if there was a band that mixed extreme rap with kvlt black metal.

Unfortunately I think the mixing of rap & metal has been bogarted by generally poser-type bands who do a real lame attempt at it. Rage Against The Machine is what I'd call the closest to a quality mix of metal and rap that I've heard but they don't really have all that much of either. Necro is awesome but I'm not sure there's really very much metal in his stuff.

I thought Stuck Mojo might qualify for this AND they had some very catchy stuff.

Rage Against The Machine is the closest I can think of. I'm not a huge fan, but their first couple were pretty good.

You might want to check out some of the groovier 90's Hardcore bands. I was never very into those bands, but some of what I've heard the vocals almost approached "rapping" at times.

I've thought of forming a Prog. Rap Metal band before. The instrumentals would be like tech death, except sounding like the extreme looped beats I've heard on commercials for some games.

I'm also interested in finding bands like this, the problem is that doing that would get them hate from the Metal community.

You can try searching Metal bands on myspace and putting hip-hop artists in influences. Or you can search Hip-Hop and put metal bands in the influences.

I found this band from searching in Hip Hop and putting Burzum in influences.

The music is in Italian though.

I like rap, but the idea of a progressive rap metal band is terrible
