Who is your favourite Rapper?

[hellnoire]

Your point?

[shan]

i have no idea :P
but the black eye peas are hip hop R&B and etc
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Eyed_Peas
and ya akon goes both
and timberlake has been featured on some hip hop songs which makes him also a hip hop artists

[hellnoire]

Featured doesn't make him anything.

By your logic, a metal singer featuring a pop singer as side vocals would make said pop singer a metal singer... but it's not the case.

enough QQ, more music.

Not a fan of rap besides two or three songs by random artists and Captain Dan. Check out his pirate flow. You'll lol hard.
Hiphop is incredible when it's done right. The only time I find it's done right though, is when spoken word poets have a beat behind them. Right now I'm hard into Shihan, who's offering his first album for free. Links:

@hellnoire and shan

Why are you guys 'arguing' over what's rap,what's hip-hop, and what's R&B? Duh...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapping
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop_music

Read them and you will see what's similar and what's different between the two.

Hip hop is a musical genre which developed alongside hip hop culture, defined by key stylistic elements such as rapping, DJing, sampling, scratching and beatboxing.

The term rap is often used synonymously with hip hop, but hip hop denotes the practices of an entire subculture

Rapping is a primary ingredient in hip hop music, but the phenomenon predates hip hopculture by centuries

In modern context, the terms may be used interchangeably...

If you ask me, here's how I would put them:

The Black Eyed Peas: Hip-hop + R&B
Akon: Hip-hop + R&B + Pop
Justin Timberlake: R&B + Pop

P.S. I *almost* learned DJ-ing so please....
