In 2004, Jay-Z (HipHop/Rap) & Linkin Park (Rock) recorded a whole album from this concept, Collision Course, taking lyrics and musical composition from each acts existing songs and combine them.
Numb/Encore
Artists also take a song from one genre and remix it to suit their preferred genre. For example Travis Barker, most wildly known as a member of pop rock band Blink 182, took 'Crank Dat' by pop rapper Soulja Boy and remixed it to his own style.
I think these sorts of collaboration can have a large impact on society. The fact that because of these collaborations people who would perhaps never usually associate with each other, now know the words to the same song even though their greatest divide is their preference in music.
