The hypnotic swaying of ones hips.
Damn son, check dem hypno-hips
first off, if it's on mtv it's NOT hip hop (50 cent isn't fucking hip hop), secondly if it's about lots of bling with my bitches riding on my twenty's capin some mofo it's NOT hip hop, thirdly if the song is only two lines repeating over and over it's NOT hip hop, fourth if the verse is all jumbled together and not enunciated it's NOT hip hop, the above mentioned criteria constitute rap.
Hip hop typically has a social message that not just about how fucking awesome I am and how hot my bitches are, enunciated lyrics, a more complex beat, and requires serious talent. If you want to listen to hip hop, you have to seek it out. It's not going to be on MTV or clear channel
And finally if you listen to both and can't discern a single thing and think I'm full of shit go listen to Umi Says by Mos Def (you can even find the lyrics on line), at least you'll understand the differing messages between hip hop and rap
I fucking hate it when people call rap and hip hop the same thing, they're not, go fucking educate yourself

Music rappers call "hip hop" when it sounds like pop music (intoxicating beats to lyircs nobody actually listens to)
This can mean a beat that sounds like Britney Spears or a pussy/money song with a nice beat but doesn't use more than 50 different words.
Some Hip Pop artists are:
Soulja Boy
T-Pain
Yin Yang Twins
Lil' Wayne
VIC
Flo Rida
Foxx and Webbie
Timbaland
Hip Pop Fan: Did you hear that new Yin Yang Twins song, 'Drop'? It's so mothafuckin raw!
Hip Hop Fan: Yeah, the beat sounded just like 'FeedBack', by world-famous pop music star Janet Jackson, who's been making pop music for the past 2 decades, so I turned it off. What's it about, anyway?
Hip Pop Fan:.......

"Hip pocketed" means keeping anything around for easy access.
A technician may keep a Swiss Army knife in their hip pocket, just in case.
It does imply the person carrying the thing has complete control of it, so if someone's in you hip pocket, it means they are in complete control of another person.
It's become popular in Hollywood for an agent to "hip pocket" an aspiring actor or writer.
The talent may say an agent is "hip pocketing" them. It's not the best or optimal professional relation, but as they say "something is better than nothing."
A producer sends a script to an agent, if the agent doesn't have a client that fits the role, he may give a "hip pocketed" actor the script, and a verbal guarantee that the script was authorized by the producer.
For a writer, it is reversed. You informally give an agents scripts. If a producer asks for a particular idea, the agent may give the producer the writer's script.
If the actor gets the role or the writer sells his script, they sign paperwork and become a client. If not, the agent may continue "hip pocketing" you, sticking to verbal agreements only.
It sucks to live in LA. I'm 30 years old, and agents keep hip pocketing me.

I get what you're saying...
Hip= Wise/Knowledgable to
Jive=Slang/Code
"Does anything ever 'fall off ' the back of the truck? You know, 'Fall off'..."
"Yeah dude, I'm hip to the jive. And, yes, if the price is right."
(Jive: fall off truck = sell stolen merchandise from employer under the table for profit)
"Hey, on our way out we need to swing by Shorty's to pick up a couple of sticks. Are you listening?"
"Yes dear, I'm hip to your jive."
(Jive: sticks = joints)
