Definition of Hip Hop :- "Hip hop music, also referred to as rap or rap music, is a style of popular music which came into existence in the United States during the mid-1970s, and became a large part of modern pop culture during the 1980s. It consists of two main components: rapping (MCing) and DJing (audio mixing and scratching). Along with hip hop dance (notably breakdancing) and urban inspired art, or notably graffiti, these compose the four elements of hip hop, a cultural movement that was initiated by inner-city youth, mostly African Americans in New York City, in the early 1970s"
In my opinion, there is so actual definition to Hip Hop as it can have many meanings to each and every individual.
To me Hip Hop is the love of music, the culture, the passion and the freedom of expression.
Before modern Hip Hop was/is classed as "dead' it was known for it's smooth, soothing beats, intelligent, sincere rhymes and a solid representation of urban lives.
Hip Hop music can range from slow, slurring speech with digital beats and a heavy bassline known as gangster rap, or southern rap, which is mostly responsible for the the so-called "death" of Hip Hop to fast, crisp lyrical delivery with the instrumentals ranging from a multitude of sounds and instruments.
