Do you mean to imply that rap sucks? Because Im pretty darn sure that Linkin Park (at least their first album) definitely qualifies as rapcore, which basically means its a fusion of Rap and Metal (some songs are a little bit more toward the rock side rather than the metal though, especially in Meteora). They also released two albums (Reanimated, and Collision Course) which feature an even greater rap influence than in Hybrid theory.
Also Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park, is a rap artist in his own right.
And just to let you know, not all rap is about the drugs, guns, and b**ches. If you do like Linkin Park (and since you recommend them I assume you do), I would definitely recommend you to check out Fort Minor, which is a hip-hop oriented project headed by Mike Shinoda.
