Jeez. I'm a Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms fan, with a lot of Mozart thrown in. Currently, Andre' Rieu is my favorite conductor, but I suspect all these names are totally foreign to y'all.

Nope, shockingly, some people can listen to both hip-hop and appreciate Bethoven at the same time.
Thank you. One of the aims of the '90s was to breakdown and stir up the compartmentalized classification of genres that congealed up in the '80s [[just going to a Harmony House or Sam Goody Musicland became a nauseating experience for many of us-Hmmm Rock, Pop, Jazz, Heavy Metal, R & B, Rap, etc.).
For those wanting a boiled down history of Hip Hop in a digestible format [[hearkening to the awesome VH1 documentary NY77-The Coolest Year in Hell) of comics [[ahem-providing that one likes comics), there is the "Hip Hop Family Tree" by Ed Piskor on the Fantagraphics [[!) label.
Yet, comic to another form, I'll weigh in on Bach [[and those with a yen for Gestaltic crossovers-especially with patterns of thought and formulas and mathematics will like "Godel, Escher, Bach" by Hofstadter-which compares the art, music, and mathematics of those three with a Lewis-ugh-Carol twist. The part on Crab Canons is interesting.). What was a riff from an X-Files episode became this: https://vimeo.com/129620623Who says it can't all come together?
