It can if you want it to be but no, nobody came up with the word rap as an acronym, that's just some creative way to define it, but that ain't THE definition.

nikkas been "rappin" long before the music industry found a way to pimp it. If a old nikka taps you on the shoulder and pulls you to the side to impart what he feels could be a life changing piece of advice or just something he thinks you might need to hear, he might say to you "let me rap with you for a minute".

No.

Mama nem started calling it rap because that's the musical genre that was packaged and sold to them. Hip Hop existed without rap. Rap existed without Hip Hop regardless of how much they go hand in hand as Rap is the "voice" of "Hip Hop" as an entity if we are to look at the collective as one.

Rappers moved to the forefront of the culture because rap is more readily mass produced than graffiti or break dancing.

I don't care about the racial shyt.

It's packaged and sold as rap by...because it is rap. Hip Hop and rap are two different things and an important distinction to make.

If that's what you're getting at then we on the same page.

If that's what you're getting at with the addition of "honkey this and that" then we on the same page.
No. I'm saying that the mfs selling it (Jew"ish" billionaires) are the people who made rap and hip hop the same thing. Rapping is to talk. Hip hop is a music genre....
They market hiphop as rap
1: because the artists are literally just talking on record
2: They're basically saying it was not real music.
Blacc people who started hip hop called it hip hop and once it became somewhat popular it all of a sudden is just rap.

No it's not.

Hip Hop is a culture. You don't need music to graf write, you don't need music to dance, you don't need anything on a reel to Beat Box.

Rap is the musical genre utilizing the art of rapping to sell albums. Hip Hop is the container for that and a hell of a lot more that has NOTHING to do with the genre of music. It's an entire "sub"-culture of Rappers who are thriving WITHOUT the music industry or even any music at all.
