whaaaaaaaaaaat, why the fuck did i not hear bout him dieing??? how he die??? shiiiiiit thats shocked the shit out of me lol.

hip hop - is a culture, a life style(all the things i mentioned before)

hip hop music is music made to feed that culture(which lets face it people into that are into underground/old school stuff e.t.c)

rap music is what you catch on the mainstream made to entertain the none hip hop fans(people who dont live and thrive off the culture)

notice how i didnt say music and said culture???? there is your difference.
