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
