OK, this one is a bit of a reach in the third round, I know that. But the more I think of it, the more I suspect that the "crossover" category is going to be a bitch. You have Walk This Way (picked), Bring Tha Noize (ineligible), and not much else. How many good rock/rap hybrids are there? I can see a run on Limp Bizkit wannabes. Shudder.
Just a tough category. Who came up with these anyways? Put some thought into next time, please.
So ... I'm going with one of the first artists to ever have success in multiple genres: pop and country. Yeah, country is pop now, but back in the day they were completely different and you did one or the other. But this guy had mainstream pop success despite being a country legend. So I'll pick him a little ahead of the curve so that I don't need to spend a late pick on Jay-Z/Linkin Park.

Technically Walk the Line was his first major crossover hit, and Boy Named Sue was bigger hit. But I like this song better so go piss up a rope, Mr. Negative.
