R&b A Part Of Hiphop ?

[god-of-rock]

I thought R & B was short for Rythm and Blues....

another question is: why does all theese rappers have to put their own name in the lyric, is that because all of that shit sounds the same, so ppl have to know wich artist they are listening to?

However, i dont know the answer.

Rhythum and Blues is not a part of Hip Hop.

Hip Hop is a lifestyle and stands for more than just a mere genre.

R & B is pop + hip hop . Taking all the good things from both genres,

I personally like it, R & B singers have 500x more talent than britney nsync pink etc.... who are just garbage

Rhythm and Blues

R&B:

Evolving out of jump blues in the late &#39;40s, R&B laid the groundwork for rock & roll. R&B kept the tempo and the drive of jump blues, but its instrumentation was sparer and the emphasis was on the song, not improvisation. It was blues chord changes played with an insistent backbeat. During the &#39;50s, R&B was dominated by vocalists like Ray Charles and Ruth Brown, as well as vocal groups like the Drifters and the Coasters. Eventually, R&B metamorphosed into soul, which was funkier and looser than the pile-driving rhythms of R&B.

Hip-Hop:

In the terminology of rap music, Hip-Hop usually refers to the culture — graffiti-spraying, breakdancing, and turntablism in addition to rapping itself — surrounding the music. As a style however, hip-hop refers to music created with those values in mind. Once rap had been around long enough to actually have a history, hip-hop groups began looking back to old-school figures including MCs like Kurtis Blow and Whodini, and DJs like Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa. In fact, the latter&#39;s Zulu Nation collective sprang up in the late &#39;80s around two of the most notable hip-hop artists, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. With rap music&#39;s mainstream breakout during the &#39;90s, dozens of hip-hop artists pointed the way back to the old school, including underground rappers like Mos Def and Pharoahe Monch.

I think hip hop influences R&B just like R&B influences hip hop. There are alot of collaborations where rappers have a R&B performer sing the hook to their song, or a singer will have a rapper to a verse at the end of their song. The problem is when singers try to rap or rappers try to sing. See Ja Rule.
