I'm new in the forum (well actually i was here some years ago but i can't recall my previous username, so i just had to register again). I re-entered the forum because of a topic regarding the possibility of mixing rap and prog music, or something like that, which i accidentally came upon while searching for something else on google.
Anyways, i wanted to comment on that topic, but it's been closed for some time apparently.

There IS existing progressive/experimental hip-hop, trip-hop and rap related music (i don't really care for music tags, but it does mix up elements of all of those genres). I particularly know of Massive Attack, Dj Shadow, Tricky and Dalek, to name a few.

It'd be cool to hear of some other interesting artists of that sort. If you don't know what i'm talking about, please check out Tricky's "Pre-millenium tension", amazing stuff.

Madlib, he uses anything from jazz,prog rock,brazillian psych,hip hop into his work. I would call his type of hip hop progressive. The west coast  underground hip hop duo Blackalicous are considered progressive hip hop by many.

MF Doom, DJ Eddie Def and check out some of the DJ Lobsterdust mashups.
Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

Couple of live performances by new seven piece hip-hop group Fresh Cut Collective that pretty much fuse everything together. They're from Wisconsin of all places. Here's a couple of live performances, sound pretty damn great.

The last incidence of progress within hip-hop occurred in 1989 with Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys. Creating such a record today is impossible.
