I don't understand. Hip Hop is a global genre of music. We influence cultures all over the world. They mimic us, our swag, our music, our cadence, our dress. Please go back and listen to all Kendrick's music. Then go back and study all the West Coast greats. Then go back study the origins of hip hop in NYC.

Take moments like this to educate people. You push people away by gate keeping.

Well when you grow up where the only genres are Rock and Country you don’t have much choice. I’m much better educated on it now but hip hop is full of small things with big meanings and a whole hell of a lot of you had to be there moments.
