They rap on the song so I'd say it's rap

hip hop=the culture

I would agree and so does this dude:

Are they terms for the same thing? No, says Davey D, nationally renowned hip-hop historian. He acknowledges that some people think rap is a more frivolous form of hip-hop, but thinks ''that's a false definition. One is part of a whole. Rap is part of a larger entity we call hip-hop, which is a culture.''

Hip-hop n., an American cultural movement composed of four main parts: breakdancing and graffiti art along with two more well-known aspects known as hip-hop music; they are rapping (emceeing) and DJ-ing.

Rap v., the act of saying rhymes to the actual beat of the music.



AMOG can you please explain why Brenda's Got a Baby is rap? Why is Electric Relaxation not rap?

KRS-one says basically the same thing on the Hip Hop lives title track also.

If he thinks conscious hip hop isn't rap then he needs to do be assigned an essay about what rap's subject matter was primarily about until Ice Tea came along lol.
