View Full Version : Hip Hop and Rap question spook 16-12-2006, 19:41 .................................... Beakerzoid 16-12-2006, 19:47 Hip Hop is the whole culture, which includes Rap, beatbox, deejaying (especially scratching and mixing), etc etc. Rap is just that...rap. Rhythmic verse in a lyrical style. Rap is to Hip Hop what Heavy Metal is to Guitar Music. Just one branch or element of the whole. spook 16-12-2006, 19:55 .................................... Banjo Griner 16-12-2006, 20:29 deejaying (especially scratching and mixing) For the purist, this is called 'turntablism'. Proper hip-hop DJs who scratch are called 'turntablists'. Whereas the modern mainstream 'pop-hop' DJs just put a backing track on for the singing rappers or rapping singers to sing / rap over. And that type of thing is rap with a silent 'C'. |
