Is R&B part of Hip Hop?
 

Well?

ooooohh thats a weird question. In my opinion it isn't. It is however an urban music as is rap but R & B isn't an element of hip hop.

so in short: no! :thumbup:

ehhh, i dont think so. but it makes dope hooks, werd

?

Don't make this bout skin color, all I was asking is if you people thought R & B is part of hip hop. With so much of R&B in rap now, I am thinking that it is starting to become part of the hip hop culture.

well like i said, in my opinion i dont think it is. Its urban music but not part of the hip hop culture.

arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh

i seriously hate the term urban when regarding hip hop and RnB

its almost as if they ain't got time to stop and give a shit about it so they just chuck it all into one category, don't get it twisted viva i ain't tryna get at you cos you safe to me still

but i'd say yeh RnB is now a part of hip hop as hip hop is becoming more and more versatile as time goes by, for example people like Neptunes putting rock guitars n shit in their music. Nearly any other type of music can be fused with hip hop and it'll still maintain as a hip hop tune.

I'm saying its urban music because it is urban music, it was made to reflect streetlife in inner cities hence the name urban.

the whole question was asking whether it was A PART of hip hop....so what exactly was the second part of your post in aid of

no he wasn't the question clearly says "Is R&B part of Hip Hop"

the thread title is right in front of you so why is it so hard for you to understand the question :huh:

Hip Hop isnt just rap
