crap on the radio. Most people who listen to the radio probably have never even heard of RHH, and they usually deny the existence of a difference between RHH and rap. But anyone who actually knows anything about real music can tell you the difference between rap and RHH

Rap is usually about rims/sex/
money/cars while RHH is usually about tough times on the streets, tryin' to get by, how the
