All you rap fans out there...

saywhat must be the authority... You get this with every genre of music. People who listen to obscure bands/crews whatever think they have the inside track to what is or isn't good. I don't care if you listen to brintney spears or metallica or tribe called quest. If you like it then it's good to you and **** anyone who disagrees.

 
I just wanted to chime in about all of the other pages...

I never said that Common was hard, I said that he rapped.

In my opinion there are no Hard rappers, just Hard beats that are rapped on.

Everyone that produces a lyrical melody is rapping IMO. Common, Nas, Mos Def, Fat Joe, Big Pun, LL Cool J, Tupac, Big, 3-6 mafia, Lil Jon, Remi martin, etc... THEY ALL RAP...

but the songs that they put out might be classified as an R&B song...

Tupac is a gansta rapper, most would agree, so is BIG and 50 cent...

YET the songs that they have put out might not be considered a rap song.

for example

"message to my unborn child" by tupac

"Staring through my rear View" also by tupac

both can be consider R&b songs...

 
correct me if i'm wrong

in the beginning, hip hop was defined by it's catchy hooks, and rap was just the rhyming words and such a-la rapper's delight.

what it is now is too big to be thrown in two categories, and each one serves a purpose imo.

when you go to a club to dance, you dont want to listen and reflect on spoken word - that's what the ppl like 50' are for. If you're looking for something deeper, look elsewhere. Btw, blackstar is pretty sweet - I like their stuff alot. Mos def and talib kwaeli - best alliance in hip hop.

 
um, if u say so....
u kno what, ill give u the benefit of the doubt, but one thing u guys were lacking in ur information was quality, so u guys can have the quantity, but ill take home the quality i mean it was a good argument, but regardless of what i say, im not gonna convince u, and regardless of what u say ur not gonna convince me so in reality we're all dumb for tryin to have this conversation/argument.....
Just drop it, youll never win with those ignorant asswhipes.

Defining the difference of hip hop and rap is like saying one sub sounds better then the other. Its all subjective....
