I view it quite the opposite.
I listened to Massive Attack's Mezzanine for the first time yesterday. Pretty good stuff overall, though I didn't hear a hip-hop influence on every track. Not that that would disqualify it or anything, just saying I was kind of looking for it and it wasn't always there.
