As someone who's more into metal and in that community I would say it's 100% fact that metal/rock fans are more into rap than the other way around. I've legit never heard any rock fan say something like "can't spell crap without rap" lmfao. Take skaters for example skate community is heavy into both, I think rap fans in general are closed minded when it comes to having a wide taste in music.

I've seen some isolated cases of someone saying that phrase or a variation of it("Music is like candy, you gotta throw the rappers away") but, overall, I agree with you.

There's actually more cases of rock publications acknowledging hip hop than vice versa. I remember ironically getting into a lot of great indie/underground rap just following reviews from Robert Christgau.

Haven't read the article but surely Rick Ruben's take on hip-hop is near the top of influences? He may have tarnished his legacy a bit with the Em co-sign but doesn't stop what he done before.

While Rick's work with em is mostly dogshit I wouldn't say it's affected his legacy besides em fans.

Might have been before your time. I’m now 30. 15 years ago I saw nothing but people post on forums how “rap was crap” etc. However, this new wave of rock has been influenced by Nu-metal and rap. YouTuber PunkRockerMBA actually has a great video about this.

No acknowledgement of Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys or Weezy’s masterpiece Rebirth?
