I'm officially offended that you think hip hop as a genre is a suitable comparison to this

Nah it's more subtle than that. Basically is this art because it's being presented in a museum or is this art because it's being presented as art? It's almost like a catch 22 essentially. It's not art because it's in a museum but by being put in a museum as a piece of art by someone making a statement about art being put in a museum it becomes art. Or more purely it becomes art based on the artist articulating the context of what they are presenting.
