^^ OMG!!! xquist ur an effin genius. finally someone who thinks like me. rap is jus music no life style bhind it. hip-hop is a way of living, a life style. hip-hop and r&b is somewhat the same i guess u can say. rap is jus i guess beat box and computer equ. and stuff. r&b is more on beats from instruments. well thats wut i think atleast.

so people with hip hop lifestyles listen to rap? then wouldn't their style be rap? or would they listen to hip hop? it still doesn't make sense to me.

Ok, let me school you guys some more on this. Hip Hop is an art form that has four main elements: DJing, MCing/rapping, breakdancing, and grafitti art. So rap emerged from hip-hop culture. Note that not all hip hop music has rapping in it (i.e. music by usher, beyonce, etc). So hip hop does not equal rap.
Hip-Hop is it's own way of life, not just music. The way they do things is more than just music, not just writting rhymes, and just making beats. Hip-Hop is not just rap, Hip-Hop is much more than that. |

if you're a rapper, you're under the classification of "hip hop"... but hip hop is thrown around and bein' killed because the mainstream... Nelly IS NOT HIP HOP but that's my angle and opinion....

hip hop is more lyrical, beats, rhymes, flashy
r&b is more soul influenced, coming from the heart, inspirational, focused more on the message in their songs |

R&B a form of hip hop music... hip hop's a culture, not a style of music the style of music that comes from the hip hop culture is R&B and rap... hip hop isn't rap... rap is hip hop "MUSIC".... and for the last post, anyone can listen to hip hop music... not everybody "LIVES" the hip hop culture... some f*ckin' skater can listen to rap 'n doesn't live the hip hop culture... hip hop is the clothes you wear, way you talk, way you live, and what you do... four main elements are grafitti, DJing, MCing (rapping or even bein' a hypeman), and breaking (B-Boying/Girling)... some of the subcultures are style of dressing, way you talk, R&B music can be considered, and way of living in general |

I think rap is a genre of music, and hip hop is a way of life.
I think some people made this point, though.  Watching 'Scratch' might help you. Also if you want to learn more about DJ's and whatnot. |

R&B is rhythm and blues
Rap is a lot of freestyling, rhyming, fast lyrics I think it should always have a good beat Hip-hop is sorta dancing music |
