 Hip-hop is the first black musical movement in history where black folks pimped themselves for the white boy beat them to it. Hip-hop pimped the funk before the white boy and heavy metal, too. See, hip-hop is the perverse logic of capitalism pursued as an art form. Like capitalism, hip-hop converts raw soul into a commodity. Like capitalism, hip-hop has no morals, no conscience, and no ecological concern for the scavenged earth or the scavenged American minds it will wreck.
