Rap= the genre of music
Hip hop= the culture (DJs, MCs, break dancing, graffiti, clothing, slang, etc)

Thats the misconception.

Mizery more or less got it right. Hip-hop is the genre and rapping is the art. Gangsta rap, conscious rap, horrorcore, etc...all sub-genres of hip-hop.

X-Raided and Common are both hip-hop artists.
and who says you're the all knowing source for what specific terms mean?

According to your theory, hip-hop isn't an art, and rap is.

I can look up "Gangster Rap" as a musical genre.

Go do something better with your time other than make threads that can be argued for weeks. Next thing I know you're going to start with religion and politics.

It can be argued, that the two are not that identical, but in general you're right IPIM.

And Hip Hop is the culture, rapping is an element of the 5 original elements (MCing, Djing, B-boying, writing, and some people say beatboxing) of the culture.

there is no difference. hip hop is just a term that elitist dickheads use to make themselves feel better about the shit that they like and to try to belittle the shit they don't like, they call it rap.

Who said i was the all knowing source?

According to your theory, hip-hop isn't an art, and rap is.
Where did i state this?

I can look up "Gangster Rap" as a musical genre.
Apparently, you need a reading comprehension course. I clearly stated that Gangster rap is a sub-GENRE of hip-hop/rap, you nitwit. Just like thrash metal is a sub-GENRE of rock.

I get paid to surf the net for 8 yours a day, you faggot.

Can you tell us again how suicide is a mental disorder? Hurry up and run back with the answer. Thanks.
