RAP =PAC
Mama, I'm still thuggin, the world is a war zone
My homies is inmates, and most of them dead wrong
Full grown, finally a man, just scheamin on ways
to put some green inside the palms of my empty hands
Just picture me rollin
Flossin a Benz on rims that isn't stolen

RHYMES =KRS one
I'm bout to hit you wit that tradional style of cold rockin
Givin options for head knockin non stoppin
Tip-toppin lyrics we droppin but styles can be forgotten
so we bring back the raw hip-hoppin
Just like the records and tapes you be coppin
Cop some breakdancin, boogie poppin, and lockin
Tic tockin, guaranteed to have you clockin

it's not the same thing, anybody can rhyme if you got the time, but to rap is to tell a story to take you there, to set imagery... you don't get it

I get what you are saying but its all under one umbrella. I can talk about Screwed Up Houston scene or No Limit but its still the same as Wu-Tang Clan or EPMD for example.

seems to me that you're saying that the rolling stones weren't rock but Metallica/pantera/etc. is...

Don't forget where the music came from. Nas changed the game in the 90's when rap was still growing and developing.

Em while badass is one of the top dogs when rap has peaked and is now declining
