It wouldn't refute anything but post away.
lol i'm too lazy to look up random rap lyrics after 12 hours of work. so im going to take the lazy route and say my basic point was that yea krs said that **** but really people call hip hop rap music all the time. it's a common term, they're basically interchangeable. krs is a legend but at the end of the day the common public dictates the meaning of words more than any one dude. so rap is another word for hip hop. you can like it or dislike it but it is what it is.


going back to the grime thing, i am about ready to concede the point and i think it was even you who explained it to me last time i just really don't think about it the same i guess. cause it seems like the emphasis with you and urban is all on the beats. where as i would say in rap the beat is important yea but the emphasis is really on the rapper. and i thought grime was the same way but maybe i am wrong.
