Hip-Hop and Rap are the same unless you want to take it back in time for history.

My interperetation of the two is that rap is a style of vocalising and Hip-Hop is a type of beat. What do I know though.

It does if were going to have a mix contest.
Rap (using the term I know for rap) is very limited in the way you can mix with it.
Because it is a vocal form of music there are two many vocal clashes and not enough instrumental to mix with. This means you can never play both tunes at the same time or it will sound like a mess.
However if you mean hip-hop (and by hip hop I dont mean R&B because R&B by definition is rhythm and blues something I think the youth of today forget when they class hip-hop as R&B). Sorry to go off on a tangent there back to the pint. Hip Hop is much better because of its beat and instrumental nature. You can actually mix very well with it. And because of its tempo around 80 -90 bpm you find that Hip-Hop can be very cunningly mixed with Drum and bass which is usually 160-180bpm (twice that of hip hop). What this actually means is that they are infact at the same tempo because hip hop is a very simplified and slimed down version of a drum and bass beat.
So if you are going to run a hip-hop contest this would be cool.
If rap this would be uncool.
