I dunno... if I was an elitist I would have more confidence in my own judgement, I would have listened to Lil Wayne's music and thought it was disappointing and moved on. Instead I'm deferring my own judgement to other people's, thinking that they're right and I must be missing something (I don't really think the world is full of robots and I'm the only one who can see through the matrix or some bullshit).
I think intellectually 'slumming it' is worse than elitism anyway. Some music is just fucking dumb. I heard a Notorious BIG song a few days ago and he was rhyming about cumming on his stomach and having a prostitute lick it up. In a few years time someone will propose doing Notorious BIG studies at a shitty university and some professor guy will say 'no way, that music is dumb - and stop saying he's a poet' and he will be accused of being a stuffy elitist.
