Although the two terms, rap and hip-hop, tend to be used interchangably, according to Chuck D of the band Public Enemy, there is something of a difference.

"Hip Hop is the term for urban based creativity and expression of culture. Rap is the style of rhythm spoken words across a musical terrain . . . .

"This is the sound and style of our young world . . . .

"It is the earth wide sound stream, the child of soul, R&B and rock 'n' roll, the by-product of the strategic marketing of big business, ready to pulse out to the millions on the wild, wild Web. It's difficult to stop a cultural revolution that bridges people together . . . .

"From Lauryn Hill, WuTang, Mack 10 to Everlast, all you have to do is look around. Watch, feel and listen. It's only just begun."
