Hip Hop is different from Rap, BECAUSE... Hip Hop is a culture and Rap is jus an element of that culture.
Edit part:
Im adding this to shed more light on this subject to everyone... Hip Hop contains 4 main elements, maybe even 5 to some... BUT, the four main elements are Emcee'ing, Bboying, Grafitti Art, and DJ'ing. The 5th that most people believe in is Philosophy or Knowledge. Hip Hop is the culture... you cant put it as a music style, cause ultimately... rap is still a part of hip hop. Its like saying a rapper isnt an emcee because he does rap. rap is a style of music. its beats are more harder hitting as with the lyrics. The only reason why people seperate the two(hip hop and rap) are because artists like atmosphere, the roots, de la soul etc etc, put theyre lyrics over a more smooth and mellow beat rather than a bass pounding beat like nwa, or the game.

Cool. Actually, there are some examples of rap with jazz, like The Youngblood Brass Band. There can also be rap on its own, without music.
pescina I think you mean spoken word when you say rap without music.

peace!
I'd give it a lot more thought but I'm trying to refute something harder. Perhaps you're right about the definition (English is my second language), but I completely agree with Clarusvisum with the possibility of rap being part of any kind of music. You can hear interesting fusions that were unthinkable a few years ago.

“The difference between rap and hip-hop is like the difference between saying you love somebody, and actually being in love. Rap is just a word.” - Brown Sugar (2002)

Hip-hop contains more "sung" lyrics. As opposed to just speaking them out in style like rap, most hip-hop artists attempt some voice fluctuation...and the beat is more built for dance.

Ding Ding, we have a winner! I posted this to see if the true meaning of Hip Hop vs Rap was common knowledge. Apparently it isn't. I have been hearing so much ignorance on this topic. It's actually offensive to those of us who take this culture seriously. I hope this helped clear it up for those who didn't know.
Rap is something you do, Hip Hop is something you live!
Hold your favorite artists accountable for real lyrics and beats. Don't get on the bandwagon just because they are popular or rich. Audit your music collection, lol. Weed out the B.S.!
