Key quotes
· 3 pulledFusing hip-hop with other genres comes with the inherent risk of the rap half being seen as a more accessible—or, even worse, respectable—version of itself.
The phenomenon of rock fans, in particular, needing a gateway in order to respect rap is nearly as old as the genre itself; hilarious, considering it all derives from Black music in some way.
It's only natural that some of the most vital sounds in the history of rap—a form largely founded on collaging other types of music—would come from mutual respect across divides.
