A genre of music birthed in the impoverished black American neighborhoods in the US. A violent offshoot of 70s disco, it combines "rapping" (a vocal delivery distinct from actual singing) and pre-programmed music called "beats" (usually created through a drum machine or virtual audio workstation software such as Fruity Loops. The artist on stage is called an "emcee" or rapper while the guy that make the beats is known as a "producer". The greatest hip hop subgenre is "gangsta rap" which arguably produced the most number of classics in the genre.
In hip hop's early stages of evolution, it included three other elements such as break-dancing, graffiti and djing/turntablishm. As hip hop evolved through the decades, it shed these three elements; these cast off shells became separate disciplines and art forms themselves but are still often erroneously associated with hip hop (especially break-dancing or street dance). For example, turntables are now obsolete in most hip hop shows as the emcees rap instead over pre-recorded music, much like a pop singer; DJs though now have the spotlight in most rave and techno shows. Graffiti on the other hand is not really a field restricted to hip hop but is also something that can be found on other music genres such as punk rock or even metal music.

People confuse hip hop with rapping; rapping is just the method of the hip hop artist in delivering a song's message or subject matter.

hop off my dick. Dickriding the person, following them, asking them questions, etc. Usually some white person who wants to be part of the black kids group.

when your hearing suddenly becomes more clear because local law enforcement agencies know you listened to the deadliest genre of music hip-hop
The hip-hop mayday made blacks the lowest paid for median household income because of artificial fear.

Assisting the police when not asked. Usually always in a way that satisfies as urge to commit violence.
We went hog hopping last night and helped the cops beat down a juggalo with his own 2 liter of Faygo.
