"Even though hip-hop has its roots in the rough inner-city, it has become the identity of many suburbanites of emerging generations. The urban mindset has spread well beyond the city limits. In fact, hip-hop achieved its dominance because of the economic force of suburban dollars. According to Forbes, “Hip-hop is no longer the music or culture of a particular ethnic group. Hip-hop has grown well beyond the urban market since the genre’s first hit, ‘Rapper’s Delight,’ was released in 1979…Its customer base is the 45 million hip-hop consumer between the ages of 13-34, 80 percent of whom are white.”
