I have a theory that at one point or another, prog has combined with about all the genres of music out there. But has it ever combined with a rap?

I've never heard of anything I'd call progressive rap, but there is progressive music that has had rapping and hip-hop elements. I consider Faith No More to be progressive (In a general sense), and they have had elements of rap/hip hop in their sound (Most notably their hit "Epic").

I only know quality rap, which has elements of late-sixties psychedelic rock.

Of course there's progressive rap, even Art rap, but it's not a blend of Prog rock and Hip hop.

They are not prog rock but The Beastie Boys did mix rap with jazz, funk, fusion, rock, punk rock and other more influences, it is kind of a progressive thinking.

Well, rap is just a particular vocal technique, and there are examples of prog artists using it, sometimes to good effects, even if they are few and far between.

Now, when it comes to hip-hop, that IMHO doesn't mix well with prog.

Does this count ? : 


Hey, it has a flute and a nice blues-cum-funk bass figure on it.

I'm a hip hop fan and i haven't yet heard any of it crossed with what we would call progressive rock. I think the reason this cross pollination hasn't happened yet is because hip hop is a lot like funk and it demands a steady meter rhythmic cadence march thing that doesn't allow for time sig changes and classical / jazz interventions. There is a crapload of really great artistically brilliant hip hop though but it is the one genre of music more than any other that stresses the poetic meaning of lyrics and storytelling over musical w**kery. However that Death Grips probably is the closest thing and if there has been some sort of underground prog vs hip hop thing, i'm all ears :)

Prog has however been sampled quite a bit in hip hop. Here's a page that has a good list of who sampled who

Gong's title track of Shamal has some rapping going on in it. Other than that, God help us!

Aside from the aforementioned Death Grips, this is all that comes to mind for me

This does sounds little like it is rap with prog. The thing is, I usually don't like listening to rap because it always sounds the same. I thought maybe the prog gods could have put a spell on it to make it more interesting, but it doesn't really sound any different
