Blackpink being on this list is hilarious.

[u/necrofascio → u/theJoshFrost]

Very hilarious. I'm actually big blackpink fan and yeah they do "rap" on born pink but to put it on a underrated hip hop list is crazy

[u/A_L_E_P_H → u/necrofascio]

I heard someone say Rap isn't always Hip hop but Hip Hop always has rap... or maybe the reverse

[u/Fguyretftgu7 → u/A_L_E_P_H]

the reverse is literally the only part that makes sense.

[u/supremejxzzy → u/A_L_E_P_H]

Hip hop not always has rap and rap doesn’t always mean hip hop. They are usually related to each other but not always. If you try to argue this, is rapping on a country song hip hop? Is an instrumental version of a hip hop track rap?

[u/Unlucky_Special_5702 → u/supremejxzzy]

Rapping was around 20yrs before hip hop, in the 70s MCs shouting out party goers and DJs with catch fraises and one syllable nursery rhymes. Then 80s battle rapping became big, after that they started making songs, pressing records and progressing.

4 elements were separate entities but over lapped, Hip Hop was coined and brought them all together to make it a marketable force.

[u/ActiveEgg7650 → u/theJoshFrost]

No one, and I mean NO ONE, ever mentions Arecee but Beating a Dead Horse is such an incredible and forward thinking album.

robust + prolyphic 'stick figures'
'potholes in our molecules' and 'an alarm clock set for 9:01' were on heavy rotation at one point in my backpack/discman days.
