Ok.
First thing's first, I personally don't like rap all that much. I love rock. But, I know my music, and I know it well so listen up.
Rap is not a sorry excuse for music. People like 50 Cent, Young Jeezy, and just about everyone else you see on MTV give it a bad name.
But people like NOSS (might of spelled that wrong), Mos Def, Tech Nine and Tupac make secular rap good.
It's true, in most rap songs, there is a LOT of cussing, and a lot of talk about sex and drugs.
But there are also positives, like some talk abut eating healthy, doing your best, and so on. There's also Christian rap, which personally I think SUCKS.
Note: I am a Christian.

Sucky rap: I'll take you to the candy shop,
I'll let you lick the lollipop. (Wonder that means.)
Good rap: I strive to eat healthy,
My goal in life is not to be rich or weatlhy.
GOOD
Alright I said enough.
P.S. I'm not white

The art of creating a song comprising of verses composed in a rhyming style. Whilst many other definitions have already been assembled, it is my duty to inform y'all, these other definitions have been made by retards with mono-syllabic minds and hence unable to contemplate the obvious talent and subtle genius it takes to create a good rap. So fuck the haters, this shit imma lay down is for real.
Whilst rap is, in its mainstream form, known as music discussing the joys of drive-by shootings and blazing up, there is a lot more to it than that although this sub-genre (otherwise known as gangsta rap) has produced some of the best music ever to enter anyones ears. Fact. What many don't understand is that not only is it hard to compile a rap with meaning and metaphors discussing the rappers own experiences and subtle messages for fans, it also takes skill to rap (or spit). rappers must have a good flow which they must fit to the beat and change if necessary, varying tempo and style on-the-go. They must also focus on breath control to enable stutter free verses and add emphasis onto lyrics more prominent or important to the theme of the rap song.
The best rapper ever is widely considered to be 2Pac mainly due to his incredible deep and expressive raps relating to all spheres of modern society with thoughts on racial issues and politics and also because of his emotional delivery and ability to alter his flow on a whim. Rap has also evolved since his day with mainstream rap falling short with more reliance on beat than substance with latter day rap group G-Unit, though good, on the verge of falling into this category.
In other words, rap is a true music form and requires just as much skill as rock (given the fact that raps are usually far more complex lyrically) and certainly anyone who disagrees totally has not thought it through, and are bound to get capped once they diss any of ma niggas with they hatin. Fo sho.

An acronym for "retards attempting poetry".
by Prophet of Truth March 31, 2005
Is a music genre mainly consisting of spoken poetry, set to a beat. And that's about it. Most rap fans defend rap by saying that "Some rap sucks, but other rap is awesome. Shut up." Yeah. I have HEARD a lot of rap, and a lot of it is outside this "gangster rap" shit that people are now using to defend it. Rappers DO have talent, they can speak fast and can rhyme. Kind of like a sugar high third grader with basic speech understanding skills. But, rappers can rhyme and make sense. Though, most of it is forced. Rappers also decimate the whole English language, by replacing "the" with "da", and the infamous "lil'" prefix that normally goes in front of a name. All of the douchebags in your school listen to rap. Generally, listening to rap is considered cool. It is also a way that normally "cool" people make fun of other people who listen to good music. Fans of rap say, in retaliation to someone saying they hate rap, that rock bands like Led Zeppelin suck. There is an instance of their douchebaggery. Most rap fans also think that people who listen to rock cut themselves (See: emo) and like Fall out Boy. I don't cut myself, I hate Fall Out Boy, I hate rap. HOLY SHIT. A-FUCKING-POCALYPSE. I don't hate rap music. Well, I USED to be able to tolerate it, until the douchebags who like it started driving by in their '87 sedans, blaring it at top volume. And now, rap seems to be taking over music. That and sissy rock. Quick question, who here has heard of Motorhead? Not many, I bet. That's because now people shun GOOD music to be cool and listen to rap, when in reality, the whole music genre is shit, and the whole music industry is going down fucking hill. Rap used to be considered rebellious. Now, listening to rap is what most people do. Yet, they still think they're unlike everyone else. Huh? You walk around in your clothes meant for a 500 pound man (Their baggy jeans that show their fucking underwear. Nobody wants to see that,), their "throwback jerseys" (old basketball jerseys), their 500 dollar shoes (which suck anyway), their hats, turned slightly to the side (LOLOL I CAN'T GIT MAH HAT ON STRAIGHT LOLOL I AM KEWL.), and yet there are still some people with a ounce of sense yet and wear slightly less shittier brands of clothing. (See: Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, Aeropostal, etc.) They wear these clothes because they think they're "comfortable". THAT'S FUNNY SHIT. Especially considering I have tried one of those shirts on, and they are most certainly not. I walked out of the fucking store. Also, fans of rap that are female are sluts. SLUTS. YOU ALL FUCKING HEARD ME, SLUTS. Girls who like POP music are not sluts. Girls who like RAP are sluts. Girls who like ROCK have a fucking brain. Rap is becoming mainstream in America, which is really, really sad. That also leads to people from other countries laughing at us because they all believe the stereotype that everyone in America likes rap. Sadly, that is somewhat true. Many athletes, and actors like rap more than rock. Fucking sad. Well, I'm going to finish up my sensible report on rap with this.
RAP.
FUCKING.
SUCKS.
ALL RAP, YOU CUNTS.

AKA Hip-Hop.
A type of music the is very popular in urban cities. There are many Rap genres such as Old School, Positive, Gangsta, Hardcore, Crunk, Southern, and Snap. Real rap is nothing like todays types(aiming at Gangsta) which talks about shooting peoples whips up, bragging about $200,000 cars & mansions ect. ect. Real rap artists would be LL Cool J, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Kanye West and a whole lot others.

the word rap i believe is slang for rhyme because thats whats taking place your rhyming consistantly there are other slang words such as rap example, flowing, spittin,mcing ..etc
the fact is its all slang for rhyme it is not a sub-genre of hip-hop
hip-hop is a expression of ones self through ,breakdancing,graffiti,djing and mcing
rap is slang for a form of poetry rhyme rappers use other forms in there rap such as simile metaphors and so forth
there are different style of rap depending on what the artist is expressing if he is gangster then its gritty and hard so the hip hop beat will be gritty and hard if the artist wants to be upliftng then the beat is uplifting if he wants to be misogynistic the beat will be misogynistic
