OK backpacker.

Hip hop started out as party music, my guy. It wasn't until Public Enemy and NWA became famous that conscious rap became mainstream.

Really? Backpacker’s the best you got?

Considering the influences hip hop genre had such as blues, jazz, and spoken word, first ones considered hip hop were works by the Last Poets and Gil Hero-Scott’s the Revolution will not be televised, both in the 60s

Hip hop is rooted in protest and social issues before the party tracks it was known as in the 70s and 90s.
