    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.

    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?
