Hip hop and rap music are often viewed as interchangeable genres, but key differences exist. Hip hop emerged in the 70s, encompassing various cultural elements like DJing, street art, and breakdancing. Rap then developed as the musical component centered around rhythmic speech. While rap's amplified into mass popularity, hip hop culture maintains creative diversity across artistic mediums and messages.

Hip hop is a cultural movement that emerged in the 1970s in New York City. It encompasses four key elements: MCing (rapping), DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti art. The music that grew out of hip hop culture is known as hip hop music.
Rap is a music genre that features rhythmic singing or chanting. Rap lyrics are spoken or chanted over musical instrumentation or synthesised beats. While rap originated as one part of hip hop music, it has since grown into its own popular genre.
Although closely linked, hip hop and rap are not the same. Hip hop refers to a broader cultural movement that includes various forms of artistic expression, while rap specifically denotes a musical genre characterised by rhythmic vocal delivery.
