Rap is a form of music . . .


Hip hop is a form of art . . .


Rap is an action . . .


Hip hop is a lifestyle . . .


Rap is keyboard and synth beats . . .


Hip hop has that raw sampled sound to it . . .


Hip hop involves turntables, graffiti, b-boying, and breakdancing as well as lyricism/emceeing . . .


HIp hop has a message . . .


Rap sometimes does but a lot of times it doesn't . . .




The difference between hip hop and rap to me is like the difference between a painting thats a painting and a painting thats a work of art . . .
