"Rap is something you do. Hip-Hop is something you live." - KRS-One.
My view (which I find is generally shared among people involved with the "scene") is that Rap is a music genre, while "Hip-Hop" by itself refers to the culture.
"Hip-Hop music" would refer to any music created in said culture, whether it's rap, turntablism, or whatever.
Whenever people say something along the lines of "50 Cent is rap, not hip-hop. MF DOOM is hip-hop" I get an incredibly strong urge to roundhouse kick them in the face.
Edit: Maybe DOOM is bad example, considering his fans generally aren't that dumb. Immortal Technique or Aesop Rock would be a better example I guess.
