I agree with all of your points except #2. Except for "You Got Me", the Roots, Common, and Mos Def don't get a lot of RADIO exposure. Video is definitely important, but radio is more important. Popular songs get played every hour on the hour. Except for an exclusively Hip-Hop radio show, I've yet to hear Mos Def or Common on the radio.
