the roots are sick! seeing them live is especially sick best hip hop show you can ever see they have mad talent

hip hop to me is more of an art, its an actual viewpoint on life and an observation of the artists surroundings, put into ill lyrics with meaning, rap is just rhyming about what other motherfuckers used to do, i cnt stand rap its for ignorant kids who wish they had street cred

Many like to refer to Hip-Hop as the politically conscious aspect of "rap", while rap, itself, is plain rap (i.e. more of the low-key rappers). With that said, you can't say you like Hip-Hop but don't like rap (whateva that means). If you don't like rap, then what do those MCs do? They RAP, which in turn, makes your statement contradictory. That's like saying you like apples but don't like fruits.
Just my two cents:)

Rap is what you do, it's not what you like. It's an action, therefore it's not something "tangible" (for a lack of a better term). You rap, but you never like rap; the correct term, in my opinion, is I like "To RAP", which then, turns it into a verb - or if you're trying to refer to the music, then, you say "Rap Music", as opposed to solely "rap." Hip-Hop, as a result, is the culture, while RAPPING is the action executed by the MCs (one of the elements of the culture).

My own take on it and what I've always believed to make a great deal of sense (objections are always welcome):
Hip-Hop is a culture, consisting of four sub-units that include MC-ing, DJ-ing, graffiti, and B-boy/B-girl-ing. When you say you like Hip-Hop, that translates into you liking some or all of those aforementioned units. Rap, on the other hand, is what you do. It's a verb, synonymous with "spittin'", meaning you are rhyming, as in poetry in motion.
