Manji said:hip hop and rap are two different things
yeah, thats the dumbest shit I ever heard
Qwerty said:Well...sorry but..it is. Hip hop is the CULTURE: that includes, clothes, way of thinking, talking, etc. Rap is the actual genre of music. I'm not sure but i think that 2day's RnB is included in HipHop ex: destiny's child, alicia keys, etc.
I guess YOU were wrong.
Yo Ive heard that shit commin up I always laugh and be like do it then.classic said:"anybody can rap, that stuff is easy"
H&R said:Question . . . Did any of these people happen to be white ? (No Offense) Because most of the time stupid comments like those in my experiences have came from people of the caucasion race who only listen to whatevers the latest fad being played on the radio & mtv . . . And a hip hop great to them is 50 Cent . . .
No offense once again . . . Thats just from my experience

o-a-ksavage said:Nah man, I think you are wrong. I'll admit that the two words have different connotations, at least for me. When I hear hip hop I tend to think of east coast rap and when I hear rap music i tend to think of west coast rap. But if we're talking strict definitions, they've got to be the same thing. THE WORD HIP HOP IS NOT THE CULTURE. If it was, why would people say hip hop culture? wouldn't that be a redundancy? Hip Hop is the music. There is a culture, hip hop culture, which coincides with that music. And come on man, Alicia Keys hip hop? Why not just throw the Rolling Stones and Beethoven in the hip hop category as well? We might as well add James Brown while we're at it. Come to think of it, hip hop is a word that describes any genre of music, as well as the culture that goes along with rap music, as well as fashion shows with a lot of black people in attendance.
Money said:I was talking to my wife the other night, and we're listening to a random rap playlist off the comp. and she comes up out of the blue like.. "Damn, 50cent makes some hot beats", So i just hold my tounge try not to embarass her at the least. So we just sit there for a bit, and once again shes like "Damn hon, you should try to make beats like that "In The Club", beat. "
I couldn't hold it much longer, and just started bustin up laughing my fucking ass off.
The look on her face was Priceless

Qwerty said:Well, that Alicia keys beat with the violin when she is in the Subway..if that's not hiphop..
And that thing about it not being the culture. If you see a guy with some baggy jeans, wearin Roca-Wear, NY cap and a doo rag, what are you gonna say: he's dress with a Hip Hop style, or : he dress with a Rap style...
I don't really know what to say to contradict you, cuz eversince i remember I always been taught that Hip Hop was the culture, and i alway read that everywhere.
Here's the definition of hip hop in Merriam Webster's dictionary : http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/hip hop
" a subculture especially of inner-city youths whose amusements include rap music, graffiti, and break dancing; also : an element or art form prevalent within this subculture"
I have heard that crap alot too.The Bastard said:the most ignorant comment ive ever heard is why do you do that its black music
