"Do you really need a tweaked out audiophile system to listen to hip hop? I am always noting how much better a lot of rock sounds in my car than on the big rig, and I bet hip hop is even more noticeably better."
Hip-hop is a part of modern popular music, this is why the mainstream's interest in high-end audio has declined since 1980.
"OK I'll come out and say it: most hip hop does not need an audiophile system to sound good, and sounds better out of lo fi gear."
Although true, there are exceptions.... Snoop Dogg, for example, is audiophile quality..... Also one of the few hip-hop acts I can tolerate, albeit in small doses.
"And the alternative; jazz is unlistenable through low fi gear and absolutely requires a refined system."
Jazz can be enjoyed on any system, but the nuances and depth of the performance are better appreciated on a high-end system.....
"Why does AA have a hip hop thread and no JAZZ thread?"
You made the same mistake I initially made.... It's actually "Hip Pop".... I personally would have changed the name of the forum, because too many people think the forum is about hip-hop....
"I don't mean to rain on the three users of the hip hop thread but I'm sure there are hundreds of better places on the internet that are populated with younger and much cooler fans than here."
If you look at the posts on that forum page, you notice almost none of it discusses hip-hop.

You don't need to listen to hip-hop on a high-end system. Hip-hop is trash so you need to listen to it on a trashy sounding system.
More stupidity from you. Since when does your opinion of a genre of music translate to what system should be used to listen to it. That would be never. I don't care for hip hop but WTF does that have to do with it? Nothing.
What does it feel like to be the most despised person on this board? That you can speak on by all means.

I'll repeat myself for you (hip-hop is trash)
