“Rap” of today is just that, people “rapping” aka talking to music. Hip Hop may have a few verses of “Rap” in the song, but will have more singing. What comes to mind, DMX is a Rapper – he tells you his story with his spoken words. Usher, may attempt to talk on some of his songs – however he is mostly a singer. There is so much cross over that most people think they are the same, when in fact there is still a difference.
