Hip-hop and classical music don't cross paths too often, but when they do, their alchemy is powerful.The rising tension of a string section or a timpani's thunderclap can lend a larger-than-life gravitas to a rapper's storytelling about struggle and triumph.Just take Rick Ross' emotional performance with Orchestra Noir in Atlanta this past weekend, or Nas' landmark National Symphony Orchestra concert celebrating the 20th anniversary of Illmatic.
