Myself and the large majority of my close friends that are into techno were originally goose jacket, Public Enemy patch, Levi 501, kangol and fat laced addidas wearing hip hop heads in our early teens, though I dont listen to that much these days I still dust off the old BDP, PE, Stetsasonic albums from time to time.
I think a lot of Hip Hop heads in the UK got into the whole rave scene over here in the late eighties/early nineties as being into hip hop got socially quite boring. Apart from the odd concert, unless you lived in London there wasn't much to do other than hang around amusement arcades and get into trouble. The whole rave/house scene was a lot more inviting and a lot of people discovered techno through that. Dont know about the young hip hop heads these days, but I mean we were listening to Cybertron before we had even heard of Chuck D, so it wasn't really that much of a leap. Though I do remember seeing Public Enemy live around the time of Nation of Millions and hearing Chuck D pan acid house as total crap.
