Hip hop and rap creative processes bear much more resemblance to a combination of poets and musical arrangers that historically haven't gotten much wide appeal critical acclaim or anything (who the heck knows about Sammy Nestico except jazz students that read his charts?). Everything else is about finding something catchy enough to loop together as support, but that is something that does require some form of pop taste intuition to be successful where this is done in a lot of electronic music far outside pop (power noise, ambient, and even dubstep do an awful lot of samples and looping of one lick or two and transpose or invert chords or something as tricks).
