Obviously R&B is compatible.....

Actually with the sampling going on...you could make any genre compatible with Hip-Hop....

Maw bruh, Tim McGraw and Nelly had a platinum single using the Country influence and Clot Ford got a Gold album using the hybrid.

It's hard to say

Rock, pop, country, blue grass, even heavy metal

Has it's roots in traditional soul music

Hip hop has a way of blending with it all

For now I'd say what people catogorize as 'adult contemporary' or sad white people music

Classic soul music has to be the most compatible ... Seemingly the most influential as well

I would put country as the the most non conforming to hiphop ... Now there has been some instances where the two have fused obviously the nelly Tim McGraw track and the dude cowboy Troy with big and rich had a little success but thats just a couple of solid pop songs I think looking at the core of country music and it's sound compared to hiphop you'll see two genres that just dont make a good mesh ... Instrumentation wise or vocally

Soul in my opinion is the most compatible.

Country music owns this thread. Every attempt to cross these two genres over failed. The only good example I can think of is Bubba Sparxxx's Deliverance

Nappy Roots was a dope Country Rap group. And Nelly's country shit was always jammin.'

Country Rap is just as successful as Rock Rap. Moderate, but not big, like R&B Rap has been.

Anyway, all genres can be blended with rap imo. I've heard Classical, Gospel, Jazz, Blues & Techno in it, with much success, along with the stables of Soul & R&B.

that's so true tho some of these R&B beats be flyer than anything hip hop artists are using. And honestly dudes like trey who been singing and rapping but can actually sing unlike drake who is a shitty singer are better overall artists.

Hip Hop can pretty much go with anything you take old songs and sample them into a beat loop,slow down the tempo, speed it up etc. the most compatible would be R and B and Soul because they have elements of the hip hop sound. The Least compatible would be country just based on how it sounds and the intstruments being used in that genre, in my opinion just wouldn't go together well.

Alanis Morisette...

I see Em doing a song with Alanis Morrisette. It all depends on how you approach it. I mean, Stan featured Dido, and this is where it came from.

For the sake of the thread, and music in general, I don't think success should be considered more here than the actual quality of the music. Cross-overs and blends with country may not have been successful, but that does not mean they have less quality.

hip hop and country are quite a good mix.

This is dope... I remember Em cuttin his ass for switching to country. For the sake of argument, he didn't really cross genres, seems like he just dived right into country. And songs like these are few and far between.

And here's the Em diss song, kinda did the same thing... funny as shit tho if you know the history
