Eh, only when it's on the radio and they edit the shit out of it until you can't get into the flow of the music anymore. I can kind of appreciate that Hip-hop really IS too crass for some and maybe even myself, but with indie loosing all of it's teeth and metal becoming a boring self parody, it's nice that there is SOMETHING out there that keeps people somewhat on their toes.
I like to think of hip hop as a type of punk music. At it's best, it's scary music by kids with no talent, little hope and some shit they are pissed about that needs to be said. At it's worst, its posturing nonsense to sell kids at the mall so that they feel edgy until they get old enough that they just listen to it "for the beat" and die of liver failure.
2003 maybe?
EDIT: Also, anyone who says music can't make kids violent or whatever hate art. That's the whole goddamn point of music, to make you feel something. If people process it wrong, you shouldn't punish art...
