It doesn't seem too off-topic for this list for someone to ask for a
recommendation. It's not like you are obligated too.

So if one would say that they didn't like rock would that mean they dislike
white culture.
I think Black people have influenced and created many other styles other
than hip hop. Just because someone doesn't like commercial hip hop doesn't
make them racist.
And hip hop isn't the absolute expression for black culture, it's just one
part of it.

Just because someone doesn't have positive statements about the current
state of hip hop...or what is being played in mainstream media doesn't mean
it isn't worthy of discussion.

I thought it was the hip hop tunes themselves that were reinforcing the
stereotypes. You aren't stereotyping by saying "spineless white people" are
you?

Again I don't really care the color of the musician.
I don't know if IDM is the list if you are looking for soul and blackness.
