@Max - It's hard to come up with examples without going discussing other Nine Inch Nails songs and albums, but it always made sense to be because of Trent Reznor's eclectic preferences, influences and inspirations. I've always liked how Nine Inch Nails can easily appeal to fans of rock and pop in general, and even rap as we can apparently see. It also makes even more sense considering how well his music works when remixed and mashed up. So, aside from fame, success and popularity, I always thought it's cool how a massive range of eclectic and overall diverse tastes also appeared to fans of just about any genre of music.

Anyway The Gangsta, The Killa and The Dope Dealer by Westside Connection, which sampled Hurt came to mind.



As for Hesitation Marks itself, I could totally see how it can work with rap. I do see how pop is a given though, but I still see what you mean.
