totally not true... people get into music industry for 2 main reasons - the money or the pure love for the music... most of the ones who enter the industry, fail and very few succeed.

first I want to sort things straight - I'm 99,9% sure that
RAP and
HIPHOP has the same meaning for you. let me explain (sorry if i'm stepping on your foot by this but maybe it clears out something for others)... the meanigs 'hiphop' and 'rap' are two totally separate things... as KRS One once said (i believe it was him)
"hiphop is the music made by people with pure love for the music and the culture with the four elements of hiphop (DJ, MC, breakdance and graffiti)... they live, eat and breathe this shit 24/7/365... rap is commercial crap made by hustlers with only money on their minds"...
The only time as I use the word rap is to describe a hiphop vocalist... and rapping as what he/she does...
Purity, it takes a major talent to be a good rapper... very small part of all the hiphop artists can come out with something really meaningful, deep and earcandy (within lyrics)... for example take looptroop and their track "fly away":
I'm sorry for all I'm sorrys that came too late./
I'm sorry for the times that I went away/
but yo, I'm still here cus my love came to stay./
Remember that even though the weather is grey today./
I know we had some situations and I hate to say/
that I don't know the answers and how to erase the pain./
Close your eyes for the things that led us astray./
Then open them up towards a straighter way./
All I ever wanted was to hear you say my name./
Capture this second we'll forever stay the same./
I take the blame for all my great escapes,/
there's a high price to pay for travellin´ state to state./
I'm gone right now but you won't wait in vain./
I'll be back before you know it to put the aches on layaway./
Don't be afraid I know we'll remain ok,/
till I'll be back keep in touch through the radio waves./
Sometimes I fly away/ but don't cry babe/ cus you know I love you girl/ and you know that you're my world./ It's just you and me,/ that's the way we supposed to be./
the song represents nothing but dedication - to hiphop, to family and love... as I said - only some can achieve that level... purity, you have a wrong comprehension on the topic you took a word on... I'm not saying it's totally wrong but some of the things had a straigh hit on me...
I always loved hiphop, I still do and I always will.
qune.
