Difference between Rap and Hiphop
« on: June 16, 2004, 01:14:43 PM »
is there a difference between those two words? or are they just two terms for the same thing? and what's the point of making up two words?

Rap is a part of HipHop.
Rap is music and HipHop is a lifestyle.
Don't forget about Dj-ing, Graffity or Breakdancing. They all belong the HipHop as well as MC-ing.
Some evil tongues also say Rap is ruining HipHop because ppl more and more think Rap=HipHop and therefore forget about what it's really meant to be.
Oh well.
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

7even hit the nail on the head.  

People on award shows are stupid...

Just like when they announce D12 as 'D12 with Eminem'
