yo...uh your video is great...however, i notice u put break dance at 2:24...and it's not breakdance...is bboy or breaking, breakdance is wat the main stream media created on their Tv shows...:)

@thespecialguy12 agreed. i made this video a while ago and have since realized the error of my ways :D thanks for noticing ;)

The "Rap" should be changed to "Pop (with rapping)."

[eboyd32]

@vote4cake1 that i can agree with COMPLETELY

rap vs hiphop ---THE DIFFERENCE? thats like saying ---biking vs. the bike ......eveyone whos not butt fucked by the media knows that Rap is the verb form of HipHop----if you are performing HipHop---you are rapping or dj'ing...it isnt a seperate artform...or a seperate genre....it is a VERB not a noun---it is only PROPERLY USED as an action word-----"TO RAP" is its proper usage...the idea that it is a noun is BECAUSE people who knew shit all about hiphop thought it was different than RAP BWAHAHAA

[eboyd32]

@TheGreatDeciever55 1. you don't need to have rapping in a song to be making hip hop music, and 2. you aren't necessarily making hip hop music if you make a song with rapping in it. the better comparison would be saying "Classical Music vs. Singing", and while that doesn't necessarily make sense in context, the title is intended to get you to separate rapping from hip hop realizing it's its own entity so that we can come to the conclusion that people who rap in hip hop are MC's which =/= rappers

2 different styles? I don't think so. If you look at the whole music scene these two words are almost, I said almost interchangeable. They overlap.

lmao @ Real Hiphop.. Rap Music is what 90% of people Listen to. they are 2 different music and rap Itself was Created 100's of Years ago, Any one can Rap, On any Beats, about anything that you do/did or want to do, an emcee can be really good at hiphop but a laughing stock when it comes to rapping, That is why many top emcee's can hardly sell anything when they rap, Others are good at it Biggie/jay z/eminem and others who were emcee's but rap. Its all about the delivery,ryhme,Beats and metaphors

[BlueLimeTV]

sadly true hiphop has been replaced with pop and emceeing, theres only a few good genres left anymore in my opinion
