Rap is a style of sprechgesang
And Hip-Hop is a genre of music for that matter.
One guy of linking park for example is rapping but that doesn't make their music hip-hop, vice versa there are sung parts in hip-hop songs. |
You're right. I'm not sure how to define the difference between what I think of as hip hop, and rap. Maybe "old school hip hop" vs "gangsta rap"? For example, I can listen to the Roots, but not Eminem. Not sure what subcategories of hip hop they fall into though.
