R&B stands for Rhythm & Blues. I don't know where you're getting this connection. Rap and Hip Hop usually have a steady simple beat, sampled instruments and the artist raps (not sings) over the song. R&B usually features a backing band and an artist who sings with the music. R&B has more ties with the Blues than anything else.

EDIT: Oh crap, well it looks like R&B is discussed in this forum.
