    Hip-hop is good. Rap is not.

    IMO hip hop is more laid back, chilling music with more melody. Rap is generally more energized with a heavier beat.

    And pomunus, the mind is like walking through a door. It only works if it's open.

    Unfortunately I wasn't looking for opinions on the quality of each genre. Thank you though.

    RAP is 'rhythm and poetry', or more simply poetry recited over a rhythmic beat. Hip-hop, is a form of RAP, but it's also a political movement. Guys like The Voice are part of the hip-hop movement. Ludacris, Lil White, Cham, Bun B, and others are not.

    From time to time a rap star will put out a hip-hop song such as Eminem did when he released "Mosh", but rarely ever will a hip-hop artist put out a song without a message.

    hip hop is a lifestyle , a culture, an expression

    rap is just music
    anything can be rap
    but not everything is hip hop


    imo
