The Hip Is In the Hop

From Rock to Rhythm & Blues, to Classical, Country, and even Pop,

All are now willing to acknowledge the greatness of Hip Hop.

Although the melodious harmonies do vary

And are to the contrary in content and form.

The mere thought that you, can combine any of the two,

Creates a pleasingly tuneful storm.

You see, when we do combine any type of music to a slickly put rhyme,

A favorable endorsement is always hard to stop.

Like when hip-hoppers paired with those of Rock -n- Roll,

The fire of the "match" was hard to control.

That's why in '86, teens jammed their kicks to "Walk This Way, talk this way",

DMC style in a form I like to call, Rock Hop!

See my amounts are ample and here's another example,

Of the fusion that many fans seemed to like a lot.

Plenty thought it was Phat and "Cool Like That", to put Jazz with Hip Hop.

In years befo', there were many for sho',

Who thought this fusion would be equal to a pile of junk,

But, you don't have believe me.

Just listen to Heavy D when you cop, "A Bag of Blue Funk".

Because Music is most definitely universal, and usually without much rehearsal,

The rhythmic beats can make your head bop.

Like Hiphop's fusion with Reggae, still "Boombastic, really Fantastic" til this day,

To create what I like to call, Rizzop!
