That's why I consider "rap" (bad, commercial) and "hip hop" (good, art) to be two completely different types of music even though they're extremely closely related.

Compare Kanye West and Brother Ali to see one example of the difference.

EDIT: Switched to a better example of hip hop. Also, someone downvoted me for making a distinction? Strange.

I certainly remember hearing tons of intelligent, political, and not particularly "commercial" stuff called "rap" on the radio in the early '80s....
