It depends; sometimes you want a ham sandwich. Hip-hop in its extreme
contains (samples and elements of) all sorts of different kinds of
music; it could be funk, it could be movie soundtrack, it could be
opera, it could be country music; whatever can be scratched through a
phonograph stylus or recorded through an analog/digital convertor of a sampler.
