Everyone is going to have a different opinion on this. For me, if I listen to a song and think "Damn, that has a tight hook," or if it only has a good beat then it's hip-hop; however if I listen to a song and think "Holy shit he killed that," then it's rap.

Rap is something one does when making hip-hop.
Rap is the actual rhyming and lyrics. Hip-hop is the music that's formed by it.

Rap is to improvise some words to make a "hip hop song"?
And Hip hop is a song (or kind of music o_O) itself?
Yeah, what Reise said. nuf said

Rap - music
Hip hop - a style
Hip hop includes graffity, rap, break dance, beat box, etc...

"Rap may refer to:
Rapping, performance in which rhyming lyrics are used, with or without musical accompaniment (usually with drums or electronic); while an MC performs spoken verses in time to a beat/ melody "
"Rapping, also known as Emceeing, MCing, Rhyme spitting, Spitting, or just Rhyming, is the rhythmic delivery of rhymes, one of the central elements of hip hop music and culture. Although the word rap has sometimes been claimed to be a backronym of the phrase "Rhythmic American Poetry", "Rhythm and Poetry", "Rhythmically Applied Poetry", or "Rhythmically Associated Poetry", use of the word to describe quick and slangy speech or repartee long predates the musical form.[47] One early example includes the spoken word group The Last Poets.[48] Rapping can be delivered over a beat or without accompaniment."

Pop is mostly mainstream trash made to appease the general masses. The type of stuff 12 year old girls go crazy for and beg their parents to buy the expensive tickets for.
Rap has a deeper meaning most of the time. The type of meaning the mainstream, uneducated listeners cant appreciate
Unless you're T-Pain, then you make mainstream trash.

Sure hip hop can be called a style, but technically it's the music formed with rap.

Rap is cool sometimes
Pop is bleh mostly..
Hip-Hop is a combination between them, which can fail or win..

Not really. Since "mainstream" includes genres like rock, hip-hop (or rap?), teckno, dance and many others also.

Pop is mostly the main there, being the short of Popular. You are right about the other genres though
