What is the difference between hip hop and rap?

This is an honest inquiry, as I have no idea and thought the two were synonymous.

Rap:

To the untrained ear, all rap and hip-hop may sound the same, but there's a number of different levels in even the simplest rap song. At its core, hip-hop is a post-modern musical genre that deconstructs familiar sounds and songs, rebuilding them as entirely new, unpredictable songs. Early rap records, commonly called "old school," were made by DJs scratching records and playing drum loops, with MCs rapping over the resulting rhythms. As the genre progressed, hard-rock guitars and hard-hitting beats were introduced by Run-D.M.C., the first hardcore rap group, and the scratching techniques were replaced by sampling. With their dense collages of samples, beats and white noise, Public Enemy took sampling to the extreme, and they helped introduce a social and political conscience to hip-hop. That faded in the '90s, as gangsta rap — originally introduced by NWA, who used Public Enemy's sound as a template — became the dominant form. By the '90s, gangsta rap, which originally was in direct opposition to such pop-oriented rappers as MC Hammer, had become smoothed over and stylish, and consequently was more popular than ever, as evidenced by the success of pop-gangsta Puff Daddy.

Hip hop:

In the terminology of rap music, Hip-Hop usually refers to the culture — graffiti-spraying, breakdancing, and turntablism in addition to rapping itself — surrounding the music. As a style however, hip-hop refers to music created with those values in mind. Once rap had been around long enough to actually have a history, hip-hop groups began looking back to old-school figures including MCs like Kurtis Blow and Whodini, and DJs like Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa. In fact, the latter's Zulu Nation collective sprang up in the late '80s around two of the most notable hip-hop artists, De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. With rap music's mainstream breakout during the '90s, dozens of hip-hop artists pointed the way back to the old school, including underground rappers like Mos Def and Pharoahe Monch.

have you heard much Masta Ace???? His album Disposable Arts from 99 (i think) is absolutely amazing. He's an original from back in the day with Biz and Marley Marl. This is his latest, and it's quite a commentary on today's stuff. worth it! it's the shit.

I checked into that Masta Ace, not bad. A little sleepy for my taste.
On another note:
I dont understand why alot of Rap artists are so uncreative with the music, they seem to concentrate almost totally on the rapping. Its the same "Boom tik, boom boom tik" for three & a half minutes. Just doesnt seem creative to me & the thing is, everybodys doing it. Even live, You see four guys come blasting lyrics on the stage & theres a Dj looking all gloomy behind them fiddling with buttons but whats he really doing of its the same loop running throughout the track???? It seems very poserish to me.
Any thoughts??

i've got Del, i haven't heard the others though. i'll check them out.

As for the beat comment above, i think it depends what kind of hip hop you're listening to. A lot of the underground stuff has either really complex beats, or else it has really simple beats. They either impress you with the beat, or with the lyrics (which is why those ones tend to have simple beats). As for radio crap, i don't really listen to it much, i'm not impressed by it at all.

well, magpie0001, i disagree somewhat with your comment that all hip hop has the same boring beats... a lot of it does, but there are definitely some innovative production crews out there that push the envelope. RZA back in the day was really doing things, Timbaland brought a new sound, and most recently the Neptunes. This is not an exhaustive list by any means, just some major new-chapter authors...

i would also say that there are subtle nuances to every track that are different, but i too hear the same tired beat done over and over, but what makes it different are different loops on top, and of course the "instrument" of the rapper's delivery.

that is all i got for now...

Much respect to the innovators, or those who introduce a different twist. What Im talking aobut the HUGE majority of rappers who just follow the formula.

Rappings great but its nice when an artist goes all out & creates something, suprises the listner, rather than just spitting rhymes over a break.
Do you still disagree with me?

hip-hop and rap to me are still words that can be used interchangeably, though i definitely know the difference between their meanings. i should have been more careful of their context here, however, since their exact meanings were just mentioned earlier in the thread.

i can't really fault the rappers (other than to say that they may at times be complacent when choosing a beat to rap over) when their primary function is write and deliver their poetry. rappers who both produce and rap, are another beast altogether. if they do both and do nothing to move their art in a forward direction, then i can see where there is certainly something to discuss.

maybe if i could hear the particular sounds that prompted you to begin the thread, we could discuss from the same place. do you have the link to the radio 1 show? i looked for it all over the radio 1 website, but could not locate it.

also, give me an example of one of these rappers that isn't doing much, and maybe one who you think is - that way we can discuss specifics if you want to continue this thread.

btw - i hope you didn't feel like i was attacking you or anything - we're just chattin'

You cant find the track on radio 1's website coz its a bootleg. The only way to get it is Kazaa. Im dying for someone to check it out, its the sweetest. Rheally phresh. Real hip-hop. That is the particular sound that prompted me to start this thread.

Others:
Latyrx
Dj Shadow (of course)
Quannum projects
Mix Master Mike (turntablism)
Dj Krush
Cut Chemist
Q - Bert
Beastie Boys
Lyrics Born
Kid Koala
Busta Rhymes (creative rapping))

Theres a few turntablists there but thats coz its my passion. If scratchy beats aint your flavour the breezeblock tune is still sooooo worth a listen.
If you want to go out & get something, check out Soulsides Greatest Bumps Vol.2

Rappers that arnt doing much, I could write a book.

Shawn Combs (this weasel is just a business man)
Will Smith (An entertainer, he said it himself)
Nelly (Pop music)
Jay-Z (An artist, a rip off artist)
Lil Kim (a rapping hooker)

most of the above, on top of the "Boom, tik, Boom Boom, Tik" running throughout 99% of thier trax the rapping is not that great & in some cases tragically talentless.

Btw: I know where just chatting.

you like some good ish...but now i see where you are coming from. seeing as how you are big into turtablism, i can understand your orig. complaint.

if you like that qulity stuff, you'd prob. like (or like already)

anything on ninja tune label
http://www.turntableradio.com/ (rush to this site!)
-as well as-
tribe called quest
outkast
black eyed peas
de la soul
blackstar (as well as mos def and talib kweli's solo stuff)
common
the roots
pharcyde
etc.

i admit that i like my junk rap too like lil' wayne (manny fresh is a great producer), gfk, jay-z (he has really got some flow, but every third lyric is BIG's)

great post up thereMagpie. Its very hard to articulate the difference between those two genres and u put it very nicely. I almost wish i could take a copy of that around with me and show it to all the kids who try to tell me jayz is hip hop. I think rap is on a hard down swing and only artists like mos def are doin it any justice. And thats only because of his obvious love for hip hop. Again great post man.

MagPie0001 seems to have good taste, so I may have to check out some of that stuff. Also, clues_blues mentioned "anything on Ninja Tune" and I would have to wholeheartedly agree.

But why has no one mentioned The Roots? Great example of what hip-hop is as opposed to rap.

Thanks Antagony, Im still waiting for someone to D-Load the track at the begining of this thread. But alas, I fear it will never be.
I have to say Im pleasantly suprised at the musical maturity here in TFP.

I bought the new Prince PAul Album 2 weeks ago allong with RJd2's single for "the Horror"
Liked the RJ single. Not soo impressed with the Prince Paul LP. I like Paul.. I liked "A prince among Theives" and "handsome Boy Modeling School"
I loooved Automator's "Lovage" album, and "A better Tomorrow", but I cannot say the same for the album "Politics of the Business".

Maybe I need to listen to it more, maybe not.. but we should remember that just because we identify with something being "underground" that doesnt automaticly make it great. Try listening to a full Atari Teenage Riot, or MixMaster Mike album. Sure technically they are stunning (if you dig turntablism and digital hardcore), but I just cant listen to that shit every day.. you know?

S'true, the MMM album is a little hard on the ears, It's very technical & If you dont scratch yourself it can sound like "mental scribblings" Thats the thing with Turntablism, I'll be the first to admit it does'nt always sound agreeable. If you can follow the real time editing, which table is being used, where one sample ends & one begins, Where the faders are, etc etc it takes on a new life.
Maybe thats why turntablism hasnt become popular, mainstream.
Gotta say, I prefer it unpolluted.

Mapgpie00001 - The breeze block is on Radio1 in the UK week nights from about 11:30pm til 1:30am. You can usually get track listings on the BBC website. Trouble is if you don't hear the show you'll have no idea what song goes with the artist. You'll have to work that one out for yourself.
