Right. I don't think anyone owns a genre, or a form. I thought the critiques of Iggy Azalea were ultimately unconvincing: no one owns a sound. Rap/hip-hop may have originated among the African American community, but it did so by drawing from a variety of musical genres that themselves drew from genres.
But the experience needs to be authentic. If you're a rich white person and rapping about being a poor black person...well, I can see the problem there. First and foremost, though, you aren't going to accurately capture the experience.
