I Hate Hip Hop

[headshake]

bullshit rap IS hip hop. Hip hop is more like the lifestyle than the music.
its pretty dumb to say hip hop and rap are completely different like they have nothing to do with each other when the founders of "hip-hop" were "rappers" not "hip-hoppers"

i agree with your statement to a certain extent. hip-hop is a lifestyle, but it's also a genre of music. hip-hop and rap are not completely different, their roots are intertwined from the beginning. the founders of hip-hip were/are EMCEEs, orginally, M.C.s, short for master of ceremonies, called such because they would talk/or host ceremonies over djs scratching/mixing at block parties and local events. this eventually turned into it's music form, hip-hop. to rap simply means to converse or to talk, or to talk over a beat. hence an emcee is a rapper.

but let's look at the genre of gangsta rap. gangsta rap is not hip-hop, nor is hip-hop gangsta rap, therefore rap and hip-hop are not the same thing although hip-hip emcees are rapping. there are many other sub-genres within hip-hip/rap. to try to put it all into one category is ludicrous...at least if you don't break it down into smaller, more manageable categories.

same as classic rock and grunge aren't the same, yet both are rock and roll.

all music is intertwined.
