Yeh I get that, but it's a music genre. It's like a web developer winning the lottery and being called the first Javascript millionaire. :) /s Sorry I totally get what you mean it just irks me for some reason and I can't help but comment regardless of the down votes.

Hip-Hop, love it or hate it, is a lot more than a music genre. It's an entire subculture that includes a significant proportion of the population, particularly the young.
