Hip hopis
the culture from which rap emerged. Initially it consisted of four main elements;
graffiti art, break dancing, dj (cuttin' and scratching) and emceeing (rapping).
Hip hop is a lifestyle with its own language, style of dress, music and mind
set that is continuously evolving. Nowadays because break dancing and graffiti
aren't as prominent the words 'rap' and 'hip hop' have been used interchangeably.
However it should be noted that all aspects of hip hop culture still exists.
They've just evolved onto new levels.
