Why is Hip Hop so heavily influenced by nerd culture such as Anime and sci-fi?
There are no more hip-hop songs dedicated to anime and sci fi than there are rock songs.
a lot of black guys/mexicans aged 18-30 that grew up poor watched DBZ, toonami and all that shit
when you grow up poor you watch a lot of cable

Hiphop during it's goldern era was made mainly by 20 year olds who grew up consuming anime, comic books, and kungfu flicks and other staples of nerd culture.
Hiphop made the first commercial and televised AMV.

Because only nerds end up being good enough to sell their product. Even among the hardcore and gangsta rapper crowd of the 90s, most rappers were actors who were far from hard dudes. Cf. Biggie (he was a nerd), ODB (came from a good home, his father is a succesful musician), 2Pac (he was a trained dancer and actor) etc. Real gangsters don't make music.
is it?
