Jazz and rap, what You think about this combination? - Page 2

Hip-Hop and Jazz are my two fav genres, so I've always liked when the two are mixed together. Many classic jazz songs have the same topics of sex, drugs and money like many rap songs.

Could Snoop Dogg be the reincarnation of Cab Calloway?
They both like their refeer, women and making music about hustling.

I want to be openminded. I think there are various types of this mixture of Rap and Jazz.

This album is a great mixture of Funk, Punk, Jazz, Alt-rock and some Rap.

I've always thought of Gil Scott Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"
as an early rap form though certainly not hip hop and maybe not jazz (but I'm not so sure). I'd be curious to know toher opinions on this.

His Pieces of a Man record was produced by Bob Thiele and has great jazz insights (and also great jazz musicians ... Ron Carter, Bernard Pretty Purdie ... there is one beautiful version of Revolution will not be televised also ... ) .... musically, Gill's first outcomes (Small Talk ... ) are spoken poetries accompanied by percussions, whereas later on his record would be more soul and funk oriented, with an eye and ear to open forms, to modulation and repetition (Nothing But a Movie on Reflection) that gives him the possibility to recite over music ... in his latest record the first reference is the so called trip hop movement of the end of the nineties. So in the end we are dealing with jazz umbrella, but a straight definition of Scott Heron art in merely impossible ... but he's not too far away from this topic.

Have you ever heard the combination before?

It sounds pretty cool. There are a few hip hop artists who experiment with country sounds.

As a huge hip hop and jazz fan, I love the combination of jazz and rap.

Hip Hop freestyling is improvised on the spot which is similar to jazz as well.
