It seems like people want to say hip hop isn't a culture mostly cause they don't want to define it/ or submit to a "4 elements" definition (relevant to some but outmoded for most). True, the KRSs of the world are gonna give you a limited definition, but it's in their interest to do so.
I know the way I think, speak, hear, and dress has been impacted by hip hop. I listen to soft, folky shit and hear loops!
