If you guys haven't been listening to the synth wave scene you are missing out. In the last 5 years there have been a lot of great analog synthesizers released. Also, people are building analog module rack synthesizers that are complex.

There's a lot of amazing music in this genre.

I think synthesizers can be implemented well and blend into hip hop. I think future hip hop music will involve more synthesis and go analog and be more a live performance instead of just loops.
