Hip-hop or hip hop (formerly known as disco rap) is a genre of popular music that emerged in the early 1970s in New York City. The genre is characterized by stylized rhythmic sounds—often built around disco grooves, electronic drum beats, and rapping, a percussive vocal delivery of rhymed poetic speech as consciousness-raising expression. The music developed as part of the broader hip-hop culture; while often used to refer solely to rapping and rap music, "hip-hop" more properly denotes the practice(s) of the entire subculture.[1]

Fandom racism
White-dominated fandom spaces often perpetuate a bigoted assumption that Black hip hop music and culture are un-intellectual, un-nerdy, and morally contaminated, in contrast to white creators supposedly elevating hip hop music with white nerd culture; the nerdcore community particularly has been criticized for excluding and distancing the Black cultural roots of hip hop.
The thing about video game rap or "nerd core" or whatever we're calling it these days is that regular rap is also made by huge nerds. If you actually pay attention to the words you'll find that rap is full of fast and furious allusions to not just video games and anime but also old movies and TV shows, classic literature and poetry, the history of music and just about everything else. Rap is actually an extremely culturally literate genre, and its hard to explain people who just assume that it isn't without at least some racism[2]
