Is hip hop a culture or music?

Hip Hop, in other words, is a way of living—a culture. The elements of Hip Hop came together in the Bronx borough of New York City. It was the early 1970s and times were tougher than usual for the poorer parts of urban America. From a whole lot of nothing—and a whole lot of imagination—Hip Hop took form.

Is rap a pop music?
If we’re defining pop music as a “non-stop evolving genre that consists of whatever music is currently popular,” then hip-hop/rap is definitely pop music. Pop and Rock & Roll were synonymous back in the 1960s, so now it’s hip-hop that is synonymous with pop.
