hey divine... i hear you on what you're doing, and i'm not against software and it's extremely true that talent is talent... which means that you should be able to write with anything.. for me though.. software has this sterile sound to it... i don't know if i want to call it too clean but no soul to it if you know what i'm sayin.. now if you're not playing any real chord progressions and whatnot then vst's are cool for sparse arrangments... no diss to anyone here, but hip hop is not the most musical genre.. and i'm not saying it has to be.. but real keys and the sounds that keyboards give me make things pop without having to go through extensive mixing and extra effects and stuff.. for me, hardware works.. btw.. sequencer software is not hard to sell and you can get about a third of what you paid for it.. and really only about 20 percent after you factor in the upgrade costs.. as far as hardware you get atleast 60-80% of what you paid for it depending if is still a hot item.
