In my experience, a note has no interest in itself:it makes sense only by the one that comes before, after or at the same time.
Maybe those two notes are tremendous to you: good for you.
Some bands are even more minimalist, like Cypress Hill, who only use one note, but I won't put a link now, cause I'm listening to Cows.

Look,
First of all, I want to congratulate you on liking the Cows because they're an awesome band (unless you're talking about actually listening to bovines outside your window or something)
Second of all, you're being stupid. What is Hip Hop if not music? Urban poetry isn't a good description because that only applies to the vocal part, which is already called rap. Hip Hop isn't traditional music, true, but neither was rock music or even noise rock when it first appeared, and there were plenty of narrow-minded forgotten fools saying that they weren't music for whatever stupid reason they could come up with, even though in retrospect we can easily see that they were wrong. Why don't you just quit fighting against the tide? There's no point and you won't win.
