I'm arguing that hip hop is the actual music, while rapping is the style in which the lyrics are spoken.

I listen to a bit of hip hop without any lyrics, and I can hear rapping in many other musical genres than where it's commonly found.
So, your sayin' Rap is more like poetry and Hip Hop is exactly what is shown?
