So, anytime music, specifically hip-hop comes to be talked about on here, you have people calling it not real music, shitting on it, saying that rock music is real music, yada yada yada bullshit
Yet, you have artists in totally different genres working with or commending rap music and hip-hop constantly
Like here, you have Cobain saying this
Elton John said this
Paul McCartney has worked with Kanye and so on and so forth, so....why do people act as if Rap/Hip-Hop does not have merit or credence musically?

"I think rap music is the only vital form of music that has been introduced to music in a long time since punk rock. I would never do rap music. No. There's just no sense in it. The people who do rap music do it just fine. I'm usually offended by people like Vanilla Ice and stuff like that. The white man ripped off the black man long enough. They should leave rap music to the African-Americans because they do it so well and it is so vital to them."

We spoke in 2006 and you told me you wanted to incorporate hip-hop into your music. Are you still thinking about that?
I'd love to. I just don't know how to do it. I do love electronica. So, for me, I'd have to work with someone who knows about it, like a Pharrell or a Kanye, who I respect tremendously. I'd love to do that. It's just a matter of when and where and, should I do it, the mood that I'm in. You can never tell. It's happenstance and luck, basically.

The answer is racism, plain and simple. Probably not overt on...some people's ends, but still.
