Me too
all four people you named I knew what they looked like and notable actions. This proves my absolute lack of any sort of cool

I do love hip hop.
I mostly turned my back on it due to the inherent sexism and gratuitous violence.

There are bad apples in all genres.
My favourite hip hop has nothing to do with the sexism, materialism and gratuitous violence which plagues mainstream hip hop and somewhat colours (excuse the inference) people's impressions of the genre.

IMHO it is the most important modern musical form since Jazz appeared in the twenties.

I agree to some extent.
I remember when it first came to the attention of the general public and I was blown away, even though my musical tastes lead elsewhere.

It's easy to just form an opinion of an entire genre based on the dumbed down pop shit that is the mainstream face of the music.
Most heavy metal sounds nothing like Bon Jovi, much like it is a terrible mistake to base one's view of hip hop on shite like 50 Cent, Sean Paul or Ja Rule.

I loved the backpack scene in the late 90s/ early 00s- bands like Company Flow, J5, Cannibal Ox and Anti-Pop Consortium. A fantastic time for conscious, intelligent hip hop. That whole Rawkus scene was tremendous too.
