When the fit takes me

Have you ever seen an idealist with grey hairs on his head? Or successful men who keep in touch with unsuccessful friends? You only think you did, I could have sworn I saw it too but as it turns out it was just a clever ad for cigarettes.

Hip Hop is a culture, Rap is the music of that culture. You can't listen to Hip Hop.

Hip Hop is a music genre isn't it, and not all hip hop music is rap. :blink:

I listen to it.

No, Hip Hop is often incorrectly called a music genre by various corporations, including MTV which would like to make people think there is some distinction between rap (Nas, Rakim) and "Hip Hop" (Justin and Britney over Neptunes beats).

There is no such thing as Hip Hop music. Hip Hop is a culture consisting of turntablism (DJing), graffiti, breakdancing and emceeing (rapping). Rap is the music, Hip Hop is a culture, a way to live.

Oh yes, that's why in tons of music (at least the stuff I listen to, nothing you'd ever find on MTV) artists refer to their own beats as hip hop, directly. Hmm.

Thats why I got the impression it was a genre, not all hip-hop is rap and vice-versa.

Feel free to enlighten me with who these artists are.

FYI: Korn, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit don't count.

Yeah, 'cause Ruck listens to that trash and because Korn, Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit refer to themselves as Hip-Hop groups. :rolleyes:

Personally, I think rap is just noise. I have no liking for it, and I cannot stand to hear it.

I'm forced to listen to it at work, but frankly I'd happily pour acid on eery rap album in the world. And I absolutly refuse to listen to 50 Cent and have actually gotten into arguments about it. Frankly I think that anyone who thinks guns, crime and violence are so fun and cool should have both their kneecaps blown off with a .357 hollow point and then see if they have the same opinion.
