Rap and hip hop are extremely different! Ya Mamma is so right.. rap is not hip hop at all. You wanna talk about hip hop, you wanna say that you are talking about real things. Real life, as they actually SAW it. You can’t say that rap even has that. Rappers talk about the same old shit in every song, things that they know nothing about.. but figure that they can talk about because they are ‘rappers’. Graffiti, Breakdancing, MCing, and Djing are hip hop. Guns, Girls, Money and Alcohol are rap.
