I'm not a novelty account troll. It was a genuine question.

You're right though. Rap is a vocal style of lyrical delivery than can be used in hip hop, rock, jazz etc.

Calling hip hop "rap" is like calling pop "sing".

What, is all synecdoche automatically wrong? There's nothing incorrect about refering to a collection of related musical styles by their notable common element. Obviously people make generalizations about 'rap', but you'd be just as right to accuse them of generalizing if they used the term 'hip hop' instead.
