What you see is not what it is all about. You see the glamourized version being used to make money off of teenagers just like N'Sync and Brittany Spears. There are some truly gifted hip hop artists. Heres a list for you to check out if you ever want to see truth:
Lauren Hill
Stetsasonic
The Roots
Common
Missy Elliot
Gangstarr
Guru's Jazzmatazz CDs
and many many more
As for your comments on sampling.....Sampling is copying but it isn't that simple. There is an art to it. If you've ever seen the time and energy it takes to create a hip hop song you might feel differently.
