not necessarily, no. this is certainly the case in a lot of underground hip-hop, but there's plenty of hip-hop where the emcee is only there to "funkify" or enhance the flow and the groove. take Busta Rhymes, for instance - virtually no lyrical substance in any of his recent singles. or Mobb Deep - their rhymes are all about adding to the canvas of gangsta malevolence.
i'm sure Underworld have been influenced by hip-hop as well; see "Bruce Lee" ...

I need info on this 'Boner' track - I don't know it at all, and I thought I had pretty much everything they've done (as well as half a dozen live bootlegs).

Ronan so completely otm in first post re: vocals as essential rhythmic backbone of song. "NUXX" -- I've never seen people dance to what amounts to a ringing chord and a vocal til I saw them play this live.
