,Are you a rapper, or artist

As the world changes, so does music.

This is one issuse people don't appreicate especially today'sgeneration.Everyone calls themselves a rapper.For me Rap just a form of music where as Hip Hop is a form of lifestyle. Poineer KRS-One simply put it as "Rap is something you do and Hip Hop is something you live.

There's so many answers a person can give, however I believe to truly understand that you have to do your History on both forms. Rap is like a branches of a tree, as where Hip Hop is the seed to build that tree, and different branches. Is it that all Hip Hop is rap, but not all Rap is hip hop?? I recently read an article where they stated Rapping over a heavy metal beat is not hip hop just simply rap, and selling millions on cds is hip hop. So is that Run DMC is not hip hop but Lil Wayne is?? These are the things with this generation people need to teach children especailly those who want to become a musican not just a rapper.

Hip Hop really started in 1925 with Earl Tucker where it was just his Mic and dance moves, no girls no money just a man displaying his talent. Now foward to 2009 when everything consist of money females and cars. Artist nowadays if i truely can call them that, are sending the wrong idea to people that u really dont need lyrical skills. You just need apperence and a camp behind you that believes and cosigns for you. Whack ass music gets people on and notice where these unsigned mixtape artist are killing the game. people need to take notice.


Hip Hop will never be the same like the 80's and early 90's ((Not another LL Cool J, KRS One, Rakim, Biggie, Run DMC,)) but rap will always be rap, there will always be another (( Soulja Boy, Gucci Mane, Plies, Bow Wow,)you get the dift
