Hip Hop by far is nowhere near the inventive genre people claim it is. It's just basically a variation of jazz beatnik poetry that's existed since the 50s, and occasionally sound collage which has existed since the 1960s.
However, it's the only genre in the mainstream scope that promotes such a level of experimentation in production as it does, and deserves a nod for changing the mainstream's perspective on 'using production as music'.
Culturally? **** if I know, I'm not a sociologist.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
