Old with the New Pt 1

There are very few producers who impress me and Ryan Leslie is one of those few who actually demand respect in his productions. He was able to take the idea of Harmonies and the complexity of more classical music and intertwined it with the form of modern minimalism in hip hop and r&b. Hip Hop started off as minimalistic as possible with just the use of samples but as technology has developed so has the thought process of conscious artist who are looking to diversify the what was becoming so dead that is why hip hop is still around it has ceased to be just one format but as a genre has mingled with other genres in order to create something new and fresh constantly.
