There's mainstream rap and underground rap, just the same way with ALL music. You can't compare Nickelback to Battles, even though they are both technically "rock" bands. This is the same way you can't compare Black Star to Lil Wayne, or J Dilla to Three-Six Mafia. Please, learn about the music and the CULTURE before saying rediculous things like rap and hip-hop are different genres.

Thank God someone already said it, when will people learn. Rap is a verb, its what you do. Hip-Hop is how you represent yourself, your culture, your life.
For those of you posting rappers only talk about "bling, money, and ho's" turn off MTV and look at real music. By hating an entire genre you are only being ignorant. There is a way to appreciate music and not like it. I can appreciate Rag music (doubt anyone here even has heard of the genre) even though I don't like it.
