IIRC Audio Note and Living Voice have played it at past UK shows. I may be mistaken but I certainly don't recall such daft snobbishness in their demonstrations (and others). I seem to recall that Living Voice also have a passion for good reggae too.
But then PQ and KS are fairly adventurous souls and real music-lovers (and good businessmen), and share the passion of music, if not everyone's taste.

To most "audiophiles" and posters at AA, Hip Hop is a total waste of time and an inferior form of music
IF and when even acknowledged as such, so one should completely disregard it just for being labeled as such and insult it as much as possible.
Look at some of the tired old knee jerk responses to a thread started by someone that can't read properly!
There are SO many sociological reasons for this, especially in the USA.
I don't doubt it's a completely different ball of wax outside of these borders, so wasn't surprised that you are posting from outside the USA.
Personally, I consider most recent Hip Hop to be crap, but that also applies to a good 80% of any other popular music forms released in the past 100 years that I've heard, which is most.
I prefer NOT to discriminate against art forms based on solely on marketing genre, but many people seem to need to.

I agree with muse for a change. Hip- hop is total crap.
Good hip-hop is exactly that - good music, great even. The bad stuff is bad and, frankly, sad (gangster-related, misogynistic, immensely shallow). And there is a slew of total rubbish from that genre. But, like you say, this is true of any genre.
I'm sorry to say that at a recent audio society meeting here in New Zealand, some of the same, small-minded and factually mistaken attitudes about music and questionable taste were aired before the (rather homogenous) group of listeners. So it's not an attitude that's confined to US borders by any means. There do seem to be some cultural markers though, that might indicate it's occurrence.
It's tiresome and life's too short as it is. However, it's pleasing and reassuring to know that there are other humans out there who, like yourself, think independently and can direct intelligent attention to art forms of all kinds.
