You can sing rap too.

And yeah, rap is a genre of music.

The difference is, you sing on rock music it's rock music. You sing on old school sounding hip hop beats it's R&B. You sing on trance music it's trance music. Etc. You can rap over all of those and they become sub-genres of rap.

Hip hop took avant garde electroacoustic concepts and made them so enjoyable that nobody remembers it's avant garde.

You can also tap dance to anything. And if you can tap dance and break dance at the same ****ing time, you have the whole world of dancing in your palm.

No, you rap over metal and it's nu metal. Or rap metal. Or whatever. Limp Bizkit and Rage Against the Machine, even if you want to say that they are somehow rap, are not magically not rock. Rap is a vocal style. And even if I bought into your idea, the rap vocals would be piggybacking on another genre's diversity, not creating it.

And if you want to talk about hip hop instrumentals, then you're really just saying that electronic music in general is the most diverse, since it can use any of the same instruments as any other genre, but has the limitless potential of synthesizers and computers. Even hip hop instrumentals evolved from electronic music.

Wrong. If anything hip hop instrumentals evolved from it would be dj-ing.
