Well, lots of the post above seem to be saying it's about the background of the people who make the music, more than the people listening to it.
Does that answer your question
No, because it's not that simple. I can think of two lairy Mancs - working class, urban - whose music is massively popular among their own kind and could be heard blaring out of cars, pubs, shops, everywhere (particularly after closing time), but no one ever called Oasis street. But an ex-drama school rapper like Tupac who spent years trying to fit into the caricature of a streetwise black thug, supposedly is.
