I really love to hear people rapping! Are you a fan?

Yes, I am a fan. Rap is a primary ingredient in hip-hop music but the origins predate the culture.

Rap is older than hip-hop? I never knew that! Do you know how long rap music has been around?
1_Wizard
Not exactly but hip-hop is a subculture and art movement developed in New York City during the late 1970's so maybe before that?

Wow. I never realized! Are there any characteristics a song needs to have to classify as rap?
