...not unlike the true history of Hip-Hop.

Not sure I really get the parallel there..
I mean, yes, Jay Miner is Rick Rubin  obviously..
I'm guessing R.J. Mical, Dave Morse, and Carl Sassenrath would be Run DMC.
After that tho, it's gets hazy for me...
Would Dale Luck be Curtis Blow, Melle Mel, or Grandmaster Flash?

(Bill Gates as Eminem is too obvious, even for me.....)

Nah, actually Hip-Hop's origins could more accurately be traced back to about 1970

That all depends on how you define the beginnings or origins..
In keeping with the Amiga metaphor, are the "origins" of the Amiga Jay Miner's designs for the Amiga, or do you go back to his work at Atari on the 8-bits?
You could easily go back even farther to trace the origins of the origins..
As the phrase hip-hop (IMHO) was coined by the Furious Five, and that is when (again, IMHO) the movement started to take off, I choose to place it's origins there..
Obviously, you can go back farther, and if you are doing so, stopping at the 70's is just a pause in the line..  Spoken word poems go back much farther as the origins to those origins...  ;-)
