If you're looking for a relatively pure black art form

I suggest mainstream jazz. And no I'm not talking that smooth jazz crap. I'm talking Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, Miles, Coltrane, Duke Ellington, all the masters.

Now as for hip-hop, I admit that it's danceable (not that I can dance) , but the constant b****, n**** and bling-bling ethos is tiresome -- especially because the art form has expanded into the wider community.
