Hip hop started in the 70s, often uses the drum break from James Brown's Funky Drummer (1970), played by Clyde Stubbefield, as its drum part. As with much R and B, soul and funk, there are some fantastic bass parts in hip hop (The Message - Grand Master Flash, Funkin for Jamaica are examples), and as a bass player it has certainly influenced my style.
It has influenced mainstream styles like house, garage and 80s/90s pop.
As I say, I think you're mixing up gangsta rap with hip hop - understandable - but it's like saying you don't like rock and roll because of the MC5 or some of Frank Zappa's more lyrically disgusting period.

That's a 'groan' surely?
