Well, at least this will help us figure out where Mozart was buried.

A composer that I represent, Victor Vanacore (www.victorvanacore.com)
(www.colonialroadmusicpublishin.com), did a piece for symphony orchestra
called "Classical Rap." It is a rap beat with the insertion of pieces from
the classical literature including "Eine Kleine Nacht Musik"which fits quite

well.

I am not interested in hearing more than about 10 seconds of Rap Music
myself but it is music and it does keep those that delve in it occupied
with MUSIC. I also think it has been around long enough for everyone to
realize it is not going away whether we like it or not.

No accounting for taste, even mine and yours.

My 2c
