People are very ignorant when it comes to hip hop and rap. They think it is the same thing. Well guess what it isnt. Hip hop is baiscally pop music. Like G-Unit, Nelly, and Lil Jon. These guys rhyme about money, cash, hoes. Rap music on the other hand is the best and fastest growing genre of music. The rap industry is dominated by Rocafella Records, which includes artists like Jay Z and Kanye West. It is also still dominated by the late great Tupac Shakur. Who has realsed more albums since his death than any other person. These rappers rap about meaningful things on great beats. There music changes how people look at the world, and it lifts the moral of the people who live the ghetto. Most rappers come from the ghetto and they are self made people and all they have is there great music.

BTW, Usher doesnt not fall into any of these categories. He is a RnB SuperStar!
