Rap is the actual lyrics, and hiphop is with the music.. I guess.
Err Yeah either way I dont like any of it.

hip hop is like a really good song that pumps you up with good beats. then rap is just like a lot of fast singing.

Hip hop is easier to dance to?... I dunno I used to wonder the same thing. It's that rap can get boring at a time so it's all turning into hip-hop.

[and those people who say "i dunno i dont care" then dont' respond -_-;;]

I think hip-hop has more meaning to it. Rap is just ... blah. Hrmm ... I don't listen to much of that stuff nowadays. Unless it's Eminem. Wait, is Eminem rap or hip-hop? o_O okay nvm

i'm surprised no one mentioned the 16 bars deal.

"At its rhythmic core, hip hop swings. Instead of a straight 4/4 count (pop music; rock 'n' roll; etc.), hip hop is based on a triplet feel somewhat similar to the "swing" emphasis found in jazz beats. Hip hop takes this concept a step further, however. Whereas jazz swing implies three eighth notes (a triplet) per beat, hip hop implies six sixteenth notes (a "double triplet") per beat. Like the triplet emphasis in swing, hip hop's double triplet "bubble" is subtle, rarely written as it sounds (4/4 basic; the drummer adds the hip hop interpretation) and is often played in an almost "late" or laid back way.

Here's a basic hip hop drum set example --one bar that would be repeated indefinitely. Note that no single instrument plays all of the implied double triplets. This is usually the case. In this example, the bass drum plays part of the double triplet subdivision. The bass drum pattern is most often the part that provides the hip hop feel."



there.

i dont understand what that has to do with the difference between rap and hiphop

i dont understand what that has to do with the difference between rap and hiphop

rap = emceeing
hip hop MUSIC = combination of djing + rap

... i thought that was apparent

then why did you mention the 16 bars deal

[queen]

then why did you mention the 16 bars deal

because some people who posted above didn't have a clue as to what made hip hop music hip hop ;o they just mentioned "instrumentals and other stuff"

and those that mentioned that hip hop is a lifestyle and rap is one of the elements is right, but i think the original question that was asked was aimed towards the music genre, not the culture. and, yes, i believe it has evolved into a genre ;o

oh alright i thought you were talking about the diff between hiphop and rap so i was a little confused
