metallicaman8 08.31.06	hip-hop isn't the same thing as rap, just to let you know.
stompybeardo 08.31.06	hip hop is more a general description for the whole scene, including rap
Sepstrup 08.31.06	It is the same thing. What would be the difference, m8?
stompybeardo 08.31.06	they basically are
metallicaman8 08.31.06	Rap is generally faster paced and melodic. Take for example that their are a lot of female hip-hop artists. How many of them could you actually call rappers? Very few. Rap also seem to involve less actual singing. In hip-hop somtimes the verse will be kind of like wrap, but the chorus will be a series of powerful elonged notes. While rap is generally all rap. For me saying hip-hop and rap are the same thing is like saying that "Unfaithful" is a rap song. Which it's not, atleast IMO. The two genres are similar, no doubt, but not the same. I'm not sure how much of that makes sense. Anyways, i could be wrong that's just my take on the issue.
metallicaman8 08.31.06	and less melodic*
stompybeardo 08.31.06	yeah i guess old school stuff like slick rick or afrika bambatta is "rap" while the new pussycat dolls single is in a more "hip hop" region
pulseczar 08.31.06	There's no difference between rap and hip hop.
Tyler 08.31.06	Hiphop is more of a culture than rap. Rap is mostly just a vocal style. Hiphop music is typically an embodiment of it's culture. I can't spell today.
metallicaman8 08.31.06	"MM*, you're an idiot." Yeah, I was bored, so I started to talk out of my arse a little bit. The point I was trying to get a across was similar to yours, actually. Unfortunately I don't word things well and use lots of stupid examples. My bad.
stompybeardo 08.31.06	or just wanted to get on ppls tits!
Activista anti-MTV 09.01.06	Pretty much how VH1 would have called it.
