Australian stuff??? Personally, i would say that they are essentially the same thing, but rap is a more generic term used for people like 50, tupac etc. The Spectrum 06-07-2005, 12:23 PM hip hop the culture n rap the music Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live KRS now close the thread before we get any more moronic responses Nico 06-07-2005, 12:27 PM wait!

Thats it... And what Spec said.... Mr.J 06-07-2005, 06:13 PM Rap is just an element of HipHop, HipHop also includes B-Boying, Graffiti, Beatboxin,...

Plug Zero 06-08-2005, 11:39 PM Even if HipHop is not the actual music, but the way of living, I still prefer calling it HipHop. Mostly because a lot of close-minded people at my school love to rhyme rap with crap like some ignorant 40-year-old father. I like the word HipHop because it seems only people who actually listen to the music call it that and everyone else just calls it rap. Well, that's around my way. And to me, it seems like the word rap evolved to the word hiphop with the evolution of the music. Like, old school hiphop was a lot about the spitting right?, the lyrics. The action of rapping. When the beats started to become a big part of the music and the record sales (Dre, Neptunes, Kanye) with all these new rappers, it was all about the hipping and the hopping as a whole. |
