..Hip-hop as a culture was meant to be interactive and community-based. It wasn't meant to be a "show." It was a jam/party and everybody rocked in their own way.

Hip-hop as a musical genre is a totally different species, and yes.. for the most part, hip-hop music, when performed live and compared to live performances of other musical genres, can be seen as a rip-off.
