Why do people think rap and hip hop are the same?

its not you idiots! rap is gangster, its about life in the streets and selling drugs and stuff! Hip hop is a bout sex and women and it has a nice beat that you can dance to in a club...they shold make rap and hip hop two diferent sections

Update:

you guys are so dumb, how can a music you dance to in a club be a culture...******* morons

Update 2:

and I never seen rap on a table of elements, man you guys are retarded...you should have stayed in school

    omg we think lyke the same !

    yeah i agree with u

  • The way you classified rap and hip hop is wrong but u r right about they are not different. Hip hop the flow is like a mild rap the message thru hip hop is not necessarily about sex and women it can be about anything. Rap, however, is a hard flow, where its just a raging beat, the message in raps are usually about life, but not necessarily about gangsters, some can say that So seductive by Tony Yayo and 50 cent is somewhat of rap and hiphop. The key thing is that Hip hop and Rap fall in the same category, since hip hop is the culture of where rap originated.

    Actually, rap is an element of hip-hop, so you really don't know what you're talking about either.
