Hip Hop vs. R&B
A lot of people get mixed up with the 2 music genres, Hip Hop and R&B. They have similarities and differences. I am here to help clarify that for you and everyone else. Hip Hop is a musical genre just like R&B is but they are different in ways. Hip Hop typically consist of a rhythmic vocal style called rap which is accompanied with backing beats. R&B stands for Rhythm and Blues and is now defined as soul and funk-influenced pop music. African Americans created both Hip Hop and R&B. Hip Hop started around the 1970s in Bronx, New York. R&B started around the late 1940s and early 1950s. Its origin started somewhere in the United States. Hip Hop is a culture of rap, DJ-ing. B-Boying, and Graffiti. While R&B is a style of singing instead of rapping. Some examples of Hip Hop artists are Jay-Z, Kanye West, Nas, Run-DMC, and Fabulous. Some examples of R&B artists are Mariah Carey, Maxwell, Paula Abdul, Usher, and Micheal Jackson. Mainly you can always tell the differences between Hip Hop and R&B by knowing that Hip Hop contains rap in it and R&B is singing instead of rap.
