Hip Hop, Rap

[Benno]

I dont listen to rap music but i wondered whats the difference beetween Rap and Hip Hop. Im sure someone here can tell me.

I know for sure someone will come up with a better answer, im tired.

Hip hop focuses more on the beat and tune and is generally more upbeat and "cool"

Rap, I believe is more about the lyrics and is more mean\powerfull.

id say hip-hop is more poetry
rap is more hooks and beats
thats why i prefer more rap cause i like big beats

IMO,hip hop is the main genre name its sort of the whole sound,beats,samples,scratching and all.

Rap,on the other hand, is the lyrics and way it is performed.

[marine_aart]

Hip-Hop is the collective name for the scene which consists of Breaking, Graffiti, Deejaying, Clothes and RAPPING. I can't really say it any better than that. How can you be into Rap and not be into Deejaying?? That's 2 down, only 3 to go and then we've got you!! I posted this in another thread yesterday and thought it would be relevant.

To me RAP and HIP-HOP are not mutually exclusive.

Nas, Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie were called RAPPERS not HIP-HOP-ers because they RAPPED they didn't HIP-HOP. They are all part of the HIP-HOP culture/scene, as are Shelltoe Adidas, Kangol Hats, Bally's, Windmills, Headspins, Burners, Whole-Cars, Scratching, Vinyl, Etc.

Discuss.

Shut the feck up fool...what do you know.

If you dont like rap/hip hop then dont reply in a thread with it in.

Start up a radiohead thread and lets all have a laugh

Just stick to listening to that whineing muppet Thom Yorke or whatever his name is

Hip-Hop is a CULTURE!
Rap is a MUSIC!

Hip Hop, as a culture, has got 5 elements : rapping, dj-ing, graffity, breakdance, and human beatbox!

that's my way to see those things! I think that idea came originally from
KRS-One.

BTW : why t´did the MTV but separate awards for hip-hop and rap.....are they really that ignorant......
