score hop 

Hip hop produced with the approach of making a musical score (like, for a movie, for instance) rather than an orthodox hip-hop beat. Beats used by Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West, with their intense use of strings and piano, often classify as score hop

Lupe Fiasco's The Cool was a downright score hop album.
