Based off of your first age range, teens normally tend to rebel from the mainstream stuff they are hearing and dig deeper. So I'm more willing to bet that teenagers know who listen to rap casually AND the ones that are hardcore fans know Slick Rick and Ice Cube.
Well Hip Hop is a youth oriented genre so I think going lower is not that far a stretch.

I do not think this has anything to do with rebelling.

I think this is a case of children's exposure and lack of exposure to certain artists that were before their time.

It is not rational to conclude that all teenagers rebel and therefore all teenagers listen to music before their time.

How do you know that?

If we would to go off of your argument... how would you be able to tell that a teen that likes Slick Rick likes him because he is rebelling against mainstream music and not because he or she parents exposed them to Slick Rick?
