Rehab would probably be one of the better bets for rap/rock hybrids that are actually worth a damn. They really hit it big in 2008 (when I discovered them) with the single "Sittin' at a Bar", which joyfully narrative about how a man is feeling when he knows he's going to get arrested for something. So instead of acting like a rational human being he goes all self destructive and crashes his girlfriend's car. It's actually quite the sing-a-long song if the people know the lyrics. Besides that their 2005 album Graffiti the World was when they made a magnum opus with some really clever songs about some very realistic things. It's just a shame the 2008 re-release (with "Sittin' at a Bar" on it) wasn't as good because of some really key songs that they swapped out. Definitely worth a look:
Another memorable mention would be The Blend. While they lean more towards horn sections than most rap/rock bands do, they do have a pretty heavy grind in some songs. Very energetic and youthful, sort of like college party songs. However they do get deep in a few songs, but none of them are particularly negative, which is a really difference when it comes to most rap/rock.
There's also a pretty new band out of Australia called Casual Projects which has a pretty unique sound. They're pretty youthful as well and a sense of humor.
