Some Hip Hop Fans Don't even know ..........?!?!?!?

Ya know...I notice there's alot of people here that listen to Hip Hop style music but do they REALLY KNOW what Hip Hop is %26amp; What Rap is?!

Some people don't even know what rapping is because they say statements such as:

1."Chris Brown is a good rapper!!"

2."Akon didn't know how to rap on his last track!"

3."T-Pain %26amp; R Kelly should do a rap song together..I love those rappers!"

4."We went to the Usher rap concert..it was GREAT DUDE!"

These are all R%26amp;B artist with a Hip Hop style..that DON'T make them rappers.

Hip Hop is the Genre...Rap is the music...you see the difference?

The 4-Elements of Hip Hop:

1. Rapping(rhymes/lyrics)

2. DJ-ing

3. Graffiti (Wall/Subway Art)

4. Breakdancing

My question is why do some Hip Hop fans say R%26amp;B singers are "rappers" when it's VERY OBVIOUS they're not?

Because... They may like rap/hip-hop but they aren't rap/hip-hop fanatics.

They don't love it like most rap/hip-hop fans do, they just listen to it without really paying attention. Those are usually the same people that love Soulja Boy and all that other mess.

But to the person above me... What in the hell are you talking about?

"Because theyre black and some people think that all black people who are in music are rappers / hip-hop artists?"

Lol, you are even dumber that the people that think certain R%26amp;B artists are really rappers. SMH...

Their not real true hip hop fans that know the difference, they just followin the crowd
if they listen to it and think theyre rappers they are stupid, but if they just hear about them, igeuss since they see them collaborate with actaul emcees they think there the same even though they make obviously different music.
Yup I know the difference, Lol. Although I'm not gonna lie at first I thought T-pain was a rapper. Clearly after listening to it a couple times I could see he is just an R%26amp;B star.
because they only listen to the big hits and song played on mix stations like kiss fm.

you have to be a true hiphop connoseiur to tell the difference
The answer lies in your question young grasshopper. It is because they are hip hop "fans". They do not live the culture of hip hop, they just observe it. They picked up the catch phrase from the media and they apply it to most black music of urban origin. They are on the fringes and should not be held accountable for their ignorance of the culture-changing impact hip hop has had on the world.
they just don't have the life experience to tell the difference
lol, i dont think people are as dedicated to hip-hop as you are. It's just that they're ignorant. They like what they hear but they don't feel what they hear, if u get what i mean.
Yeah you are right

I think it's because theyre black and some people think that all black people who are in music are rappers / hip-hop artists.
Yeah i read some a that.there was a question on Y!A askin some of the good new rap songs . and some answers were:

- sorry blame it on me_ Akon
