I don't know about the "best" genre, but it's indeed a strong catalyst for change, more so than most rock based genres of music. But to say there hasn't been amazing and inspirational artists amongst other genres that opened peoples minds is a bit shortsighted. Hip Hop is interesting though because it really brings back the original instrumentation of mankind, voice & percussion.

To call something 'best' is way too subjective. Best of what? But I would wager to say, with the world in it's current standing, hip hop is definitely the strongest agent for change in our musical area right now.
