Rio = Rap in Opposition?

That would make me the perfect troll at 21 posts boo!!!!

I thought I should correct myself that the song that was sampled was Riders of the Storm by the doors, just remembered because I loaded up Need for Speed Underground today.  You know what? I really don't mind it, I think its because of all those hours long ago playing NFSU that its just seemed to of implanted itself into my head.  Same the country music from Grand Theft Auto, I was always too lazy to find out the button to change the radio, and thus, got used to the Country Station with some sh*t kicker singing don't let you babies grow up to be cowboys, god help me.

But I originally wanted to bring up the question; do you actually think Rap or Hip Hop has the capabilities to become symphonic? Or even avent/rio?  I have recently heard some really strange songs influenced by many things that I have always thought couldn't be made into rock.  We have so many great songs that have just random gibberish as lyrics, some with people hissing, others just have bizarre noises of sorts, and yet still manage to fall into progressive category, why not rap or hip hop in the future? 

Look back in time here a moment.  Did any of the classical music snobs (who in many ways are like us now) during the debut albums of pop by the beetles ever imagine rock as they knew it could be transformed into something artful?  No, it was simply thought of as garbage and that people where simple minded to like the stuff.  Then of course Sgt. Pepper came along and the whole thing is history.
