Rap And Hip Hop

[Jack Man Everyday Blatant]

Some kid in my endz was hyping saying there were two different genres, i swear rap is just another way of saying hip hop

['nuum general]

They're not different genre's imo.

[S.Dubz]

People always ask this.

Rap = A genre.
Hip Hop = A genre but also a culture.

they're not full stop

if "rap" is a genre is "sing" too?

people often bundle the subgenres of hip-hop (notice they're still not seperate genres) 'gangsta rap' and 'hip-pop' into the same basket and just call them 'rap'

type of people who consider back-pack to be 'real hip-hop'

[Joe]

hip hop = beats
rap = rapping

[Jack Man Everyday Blatant]

hip hop = beats
rap = rapping

so if
Grime = Beats
MC = MCing

you are saying we could have Grime Rap and Hip Hop MCing

I'm just quoting the founders of Hip Hop.

There's a documentary somewhere on youtube where DJ Premier or somebody says this.

When I call something Rap I'm referring to the realness. Hip Hop can mean any type of rap oriented/RnB track. Not sure about anyone else lol

Krs One - "Rap is something you do...Hip Hop is something you live".

Rap = Spitting

Hip Hop = Culture that encompasses many elements including "Rapping"


Many "Hip Hop" artists call other MC's "Rap" artists in a derogatory way, if they feel they're not sticking to the culture.

perfectly said, repped.

[Minus -]

It depends who you ask, but if your asking me I'd say that it's definatley two genres.

Think about it...you get Gangsta Rap, but have you ever heard of Gangsta Hip Hop? So many people in the scene call themselves hip hop artists to distance themselves from 'rap'. People like 'Little Brother', 'Murs', 'Little Brother' and 'Talib Kweli'.

You could say hip-hop is more underground, but it's simply just got roots and culture unlike rap. Rap is radio/chart music, people like 'Flo Rida', 'Kardinal Offshore' and maybe even 'Fabolous'. They are all rap artists.

Can you kinda see the difference? There is one but it's just pretty hard to explain.

The bar sums it up...And if I can remember right. That was a sick song aswell.
