Q. Is there a difference between hip-hop and rap?

 

A. People kill me with the real hip- hop shit. I guess Nas is hip-hop but Young Jeezy is rap? To me hip-hop is a culture. A culture in which ruled my generation! So to answer the question yea there is a difference, rapping is what you do on the mic. Hip-hop is a lifestyle.
