we as hip hoppers didnt create RAP, it was a media invention created to exploit hip hop to the masses via record labels, its all based around the old saying 'any publicity is good publicity' ice T and his cop killer songs and all that were USED to create controversy to middle class white american adolecents, before that it was all about the elements. do you wonder why it died out from media coverage after the eighties? because the media dismissed it as a fad, and everyone listened. The real kids kept it going and now people are making money off it again so its on TV
its all bullshit in any case i do agree that it is a subgenre of hip hop, but it now has nothing to do with hip hop at all (except in the aesthetics of sound)
