Hip hop has it's ups and downs. You get artist's like Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, N.W.A, Coolio, Wu Tang Clan and Beastie Boys. That's all fucking class. Then you get EVERYTHING else and that's just a fucking disgrace to music.

"Hip-Hop and Rap are NOT two different genres. I hate it when people say they are. " Thats because they are two different genres. Rap is more low keyed and layed back dark sounding while hip-hop is more upbeat and often dancable. Rap is part of hip-hop subculture and rap is used in hip-hop music but the difference lyes in the beat. If you take the vocals away from hip-hop you can clearly identify it as hip-hop but if you take the vocals away from rap its no longer rap. Rap can stand on vocals alone while hip-hop can stand on instrumentals alone.
