Mizz Undastood was right sayin that hip hop is a different term, yall cant get "rap" and hip hop mixed up.See rap comes from back in the jazz days like a man would holla a female right so dey would call that rappin just like tryin to sound smooth and the way it would flow. 4 instance youd holla at someone by sayin hey let me rap wit cha for a minute. Now hip hop is a culture thats more like a lifestyle. Dont forget the words of krs one "rap is sumthin you do, hiphop is sumthin you live". My bad i know that was way off subject but i hate when people get that shit twisted.
