Can someone please explain the difference between Rap and Hip Hop?
To me, they seem like they are pretty much the same thing :conf: |

| The difference between rap and hip hop is liek difference between progressive trance and progressive house... unless you are into it you wont be able to separate them |

Hip-hop is the culture that consists in:
Rapping (the words)
Breakdancing (the dance)
Graffiti (the art)
DJ'ing (you know what it is :p)
DJ'ing and Rapping combined lead to Hip Hop music, but they can be independent: you may rap without a DJ, and you may DJ without a rapper ;) |

^ he hit it right on the head
Hip-Hop is the culture, Rap is just one aspect of that culture, ie, the MC rhyming over a beat. |

hip-hop is the culture, however it is somewhat of a genre as well.
now days u might consider artists like missy elliot to be hip-hop
and artists like jay-z to be rap. the reason is that missy uses so much of the culture mentioned above (the dancing, graffiti and etc). jay-z on the other hand just spits and keeps it 'hood'. :) |

hip hop = culture
rap = music, a part of hip hop.
MCing
Graffing
BBoying
DJing
these are all parts of hip hop. |

The people who really support hip hop isnt on mainstream radio
The underground hip hop scence is just great, you meet a whole lot of people and its not about gansta rap and crap such as you hear on the radio. HIP HOP is a CULTURE!!!
if you meet any graffer, ture mcs, djs who have skills and bboy/bgirls they are some of the most down to earth people you could ever meet. And most bboys/bgirls i know listen to house/dnb/jungle along with old/new skool breaks and freestyle....the hip hop culture and EDM scene is very much alike in a lot of ways |

So true. It's kinda sad to see how people view themselves at elitest electronica heads while at the same time cannnot find themselves appreciating, or better yet, understanding a culture and a musical style that is just as diverse and 'underground' as trance or EDM.
Simple put, you have to understand music to appreciate it. |
