There's definitely an objection to be made to "urban culture" glorifying selling drugs and killing people, if you do it very carefully. But I'd say B-boy stuff is far enough from this that it's not hard to realize their relationship is fairly distant and literary. To me, it's more ridiculous than anything else. In the championship round or whatever one of the competitors flashed his abs then gave a little provocative shrug at his opponent. That's artistic expression, and the shitty kind. It's not sports.
I just generally don't think any sort of dancing is an Olympic sport. There was some rumblings about ballroom dancing getting into the Olympics a few years ago and I don't think that's a sport, I wouldn't think country line dancing is a sport, and I don't think breakdancing is a sport. And I also think the gymnastics event where they wave the ribbon around is extremely suspect as a sport.
But at least ballroom dancing has an aura of seriousness. Between things like what you're referencing and the commentating and the insanity of the Australian woman, breakdancing just came off as silly and weird.
And, again, I'm all for sports that try to be inclusive of urban culture. Having skateboarding in the Olympics is great and the American/Canadian competitors in particular were clearly from a different demographic than most Olympians and made for cool/different role models for kids from different backgrounds.
