It’s not the same social dynamic. She lived through Jim Crow and now she has to sit in a room filled with white people, probably conservative, against her will. The wealth her grandson earns will enrich white people. You would have to understand the context.

There was black music and creativity prior to hip-hop. Over the last 30 years, hip-hop has influenced other genres and with that came hip-hop producers producing for non-hip hop acts which is why sampling is so dominant in current popular music.
