RHYTHM and BLUES (also known as R&B or RnB) is a popular music genre combining jazz, gospel, and blues influences, first performed by African American artists.

HIP HOP (also spelled hip-hop or hiphop) is both a cultural movement and a genre of music developed in New York City in the 1970s by African Americans and Latinos.[1] Since first emerging in The Bronx and Harlem[2], the lifestyle of hip hop culture has today spread around the world.[3]

Hip hop culture includes breakdancing (a street dance style done over funk or hip hop music rhythm breaks), graffiti (also known as 'writing'), rapping, beat-boxing and hip-hop fashion (a style of dress).

When hip hop music developed in the 1970s, it was originally based around DJs who created rhythmic beats by "scratching" with record players, and "rapping" (a rhythmic style of chanting). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop

RAPPING (also known as emceeing, MCing, spitting, or just rhyming) is the rhythmic spoken delivery of rhymes and wordplay, one of the elements of hip hop music and culture. Although the word rap has sometimes been claimed to be a backronym of the phrase "Rhythmic African Poetry", "Rhythm and Poetry", "Rhythmically Applied Poetry", "Rapping About Poetry," "Racing Always Pacing," or "Rhythmically Associated Poetry", use of the word to describe quick speech or repartee long predates the musical form,[1] meaning originally "to hit".[2] The word had been used in British English since the 16th century, and specifically meaning "to say" since the 18th. It was part of the African American dialect of English in the 1960s meaning "to converse", and very soon after that in its present usage as a term denoting the musical style.[3]

Rapping can be delivered over a beat or without accompaniment. Stylistically, rap occupies a gray area among speech, prose, poetry, and song. Rap is derived from the griots (folk poets) of West Africa, and Caribbean-style toasting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rap

in todays music they're all the same

yea todays music its the same but in the ninties rap was all about the problems you had to face but now its just about girls shakin dere *** which i dont have a problem wit

R&B is more like singing.(Ex.Chris Brown, Neyo, etc.)
Rap has no meaning to it, its all about the beat and dancing and whatnot. Also about getting Hoe's and money(Ex.Soulja boy, Flo Rida, Lil' Wayne, Etc)
Hiphop has alot of meaning to it. (Ex. Nas, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Krs-One, Etc.)


Radio Station's tend to play more of Rap than Hiphop

there are all the same but it don't think there different because they changed different beats and sounds and stuff but more people used other kind of music. since my brother make rap music and singing with his friends that makes him think to change all different beats and all that.. so anyway there are all the same so good luck with that lol.a lot of people listen to the radio and think which type of music is better there still choose though.

doesnt matter to me
i love music

Rhytm and Blues is a "popular music genre combining jazz, gospel, and blues influences, first performed by African American artists."

Hip Hop is actually composed of four elements - DJ'ing (deejay), B-Boying (breakdance), Graffiti, and.. Rap.

However, it's generally used to describe Hip Hop music, not Hip Hop culture, which would include the four elements I described. So, basically, Hip Hop is rap.

* I personally use Hip Hop to describe music from underground artists that spit knowledge with passion and expression, not the club thumping mainstream rap.
