Pharoahe Monch — No Mercy

So far only Nine and Pharoahe Monch seemed to pull rap over classical music with some dignity and skill imo.

*seem to be able to pull off…

Busdriver knows how to handle a classical beat

No one’s mentioned Paparazzi or Prince Igor yet?

Was just about to post that Cunninlynguists song — such a classic track.

Have any of you heard black violin. Dope shit, they even did a song with dmx. Their cover of the brandenburg concherto is awsome.

not sure if its sampling a song but symphony 2000 is also a sick song.

sorry about the links

Ms. Jackson by Outkast. Doesn’t sound like classical at first, but the main chord progression is actually taken from Richard Wagner’s Treulich Gufeuhrt.
