I feel as though a hip hop "head" is someone who is fully immersed in the culture, meaning that they are interested in the lifestyle past simply beats and rhymes ... whereas a rap "fan" may still be immersed in the culture, but not to the same extent as to imply that the rap "fan" lives a hip hop "lifestyle" ...

^^^ I agree with that to an extent, but I think it goes a little further. The person who is just a rap fan has a hard time distinguishing between hip hop culture and pop culture, specifically the rap music that exists within pop culture and came from, but does not fully represent the essence of, hip hop. They may like rap and hip hop, just as a hip hop head may, but they lack an understanding of the cultures and their differences and tend to blend pop culture and hip hop culture when trying to understand each of them and wind up lacking a full understanding of hip hop as a result.

i agree, lack an understanding of the culture or doesn't even know it is a culture. i think some pop and rap fans are just so lost in the commercial world that they don't see or know anything else.

its a cultural thing as in the original Punk Rock formula in the days of Crass or Dead Kennedys , hip hop is a social movement has a set of distinctive sounds , ideas etc.

Well I don't necassarily dress like a Hiphop fan. I don't wear dickies or tilt my hat. I have long blonde hair. I wear things that most skaters would wear, minus those gay skinny jeans.
I don't talk like a hiphop head. I don't say "son" or "dog". I don't refer to my freinds as homies.
I think the lifestyle of hiphop has more to do with self-expression than it does with looking like who you listen to.
Life's a bitch and I'm just along for the ride.

Quote (ALCATRAZ) It's a state of mind
What would you define as being this state of mind?
We all know that each of our end is near; the question is do we accept the end of our living existence, or do we accept our existence as dead men...

Quote (I_Guy) What would you define as being this state of mind? The self. Bacon took my quote out of context and assumed that I was implying you needed to dress a certain way to validate yourself in hip hop. By me saying it's a "state of mind", all I'm saying is that being yourself is enough. To be hip hop is to be proud of who you are, and not to follow a certain code, or trend. Punk is very similar, to add on to what Menace said. People often assume that to be punk is to have crazy hair and pins in your jacket, but that is all a byproduct. To be punk is to be yourself, to not conform and to earn your own keep. The DIY method was revolutionized by the punks of the late 70's and early 80's, and the sub-culture is still growing today. But yeah, be yourself. That's what I mean. Clothes are secondary.

It differs for everyone in my opinion, but i think the different is that you can either have songs and talk about it, or dig deeper to find the essence, the lifestyle, the reason, etc etc and thats what makes me a hip hop head >.>
