I once did a lousy, cheesy, satirical rap/rock song called "Blista on My Trigga Finga." All about poppin' caps and smokin' crank. At the time ('97) I though the trend was dying... no such luck!!
It CAN be done real well though-- I dig the old Powerman 5000 stuff. More funk than rap though.
As far as Tool goes, I still like "Opiate", but I could never take in any of their other records in one sitting. There's something seriously pretentious and annoying about them, IMHO.
When "kung fu radio" came out, I was the music director at my college radio station and we played that record endlessly. "neckbone", "earth vs me", "swim with the sharks", etc. Most of that record really sounds great. I wouldnt call it groundbreaking, just great performing, singing, song ideas, etc. They definitely pointed things in a new direction along with another love em or hate em band: Clutch.
Good call on undertow. That was Tool's peak. Everything since then is cool but pales.
