But since graffiti and breaking died or kinda dead. What does the Hip Hop culture include nowadays?
Fucking, Drinking, Smoking, Pimping, Killing, and Beefing?lol. What a chance since the old skool days huh?

Exactly what my definition is!

[Danté Williams]

I never bought what KRS said. I'm not into the Rap=Hip Hop thang.

To all those who think like that, could you elaborate and share some thoughts?

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I'd see it like this. To me rappers who partake in seriously, or show due respect to the other "elements" of hiphop, are to me considered to be hiphop artists. Those who don't I would consider rap artists, because they rap but aren't involved in hiphop in any other sense.

[big mat]

the hip hop is the culture right, but the hip hop is also a kind of music. The rap is a part of hip hop but it's not always hip hop.

The rap music that is related to hip hop culture is hip hop. Hip hop is not commercial. Few hip hop artists : gangstarr, krs one, de la soul, a tribe called quest, pete rock & cl smooth. They are all making hip hop music and rap music as well.

but some artist are just making rap like eminem, 50 cent, even wu tang to me is more rap than hip hop, but they more hip hop than snoop dogg.

Most of the hip hop is from the east, but there are few artist in the west like dilated peoples and jurassic 5.

that's my definition of hip hop, that's what the culture is to me, if u think the culture is different maybe your definition is different too
