Nowadays with the MPC Live, you have a lot more to work with. Using the software with it gives you a lot more options in the way of software synths. But you can still add more hardware if you wanna stay away from the computer.
thanks. I've been reading this

it looks to me like software would be more appropriate for the music I make as I can't view the full track at once. it's a shame because ideally I'd love to be using a hands on device like the mpc live instead
That article is not very accurate for actual facts on what you can and can’t do on MPC vs DAW.
You want the points on where it’s incorrect read J Dilla Drums comments on it in the comment section. He’s got the inaccuracies pretty correct.
I would get more sources for comparisons than that questionable spinditty blog.
New MPC’s can work with a DAW well also.
I had been using a Roland mv8800 which has quite a few similarities to an MPC as well as using some of the simpler iMPC apps on iPad and hip hop is probably one of my least made types of music on it. I make a wide variety of genres on hardware which can also be made on software or a mix of the two like Drum n Bass, Industrial, Techno, Trap, Dubstep, Downbeat, EDM, Experimental, Ambient, Chillstep, etc
Again, yes it can do hip hop, but certainly not limited to any one style of music
