Since its inception, hip-hop has been something of a bogeyman. It’s glorified violence, misogyny, shark-eyed greed, homophobia and a whole load more. Artists have been branded as ‘sick’ (the outrage in the press when the Beastie Boys first came to the UK was savage) and Jay Z’s Glastonbury headliner slot was seen as a threat to the very essence of the Pilton Festival (rather than, say, a defining moment like Sly Stone at Woodstock or Otis Redding at Monterey).
