Great quote, I've always adored the aspect of rap that just fully embraces how epic and dramatic a string/horn section can be, even the chord progressions and structural ideas of rap over the last two decades have roots in 16th-20th century classical as much as they do roots in blues, rock, soul, and jazz (which all themselves borrow from classical by degrees, never quite as emphatically as rap). Combine that with the producer's mindset of going for cutting edge technology, this whole hippin and the hoppin and the bippin and the boppin will be around forever
