I think hiphop music, and hiphop culture in a broader sense, is for a big part about certain codes and creating a culture for yourself - apart from where you from. For example, I still follow a hiphop music forum where all kinds of people meet; people who are in their 'real life' art critics, or plumbers, high school students, or fathers, graphic designers, or corporate businessmen, or unemployed, religious, non-religious. The only thing in common is their interest in the same music (that has his own kind of language, history etc.). On the other hand - hiphop is very much about where you're from. Since the music is originally from a very specific part of the us (the bronx, new york, afro american & latino communities) you can't close you're eyes for where it's from, and where you're from yourself.
