because its f*cking great?
lyrically, musically. the raw emotion and social consciousness in rap music is what draws me to it.

political rock/folk is eh. some of it is really good, but most of it is cheesy and overdone.
political/socially conscious rap music is a match made in heaven.

You forgot LL Cool J. Definitely an important part of the early sound, at least in the 'New School' Def Jam stage of the movement.

Also,
"West Coast" and Ice T were not pioneers. They were just the first to get popular. And Ice T was more famous for his hardocre punk band than his rapping.

Anyone want me to write something on the difference between hip-hop and rap? I'm not sure everyone knows it, but there's nothing the original post.

Hip Hop: Essentially cut and paste backing music, used in many musical styles besides rap.
Rap: Rhyming over beats.

It's a little more complicated but that's the basic's. Hip hop has a whole sub-culture attached to it as well.
