Can You Understand Rap, Hip Hop Music?

Is there a difference between the two? Last night I was watching the tv series "Salvation". In the opening of the show there was some song. I could only make out like every 5th word. I had no idea what the song's theme was and its relation to the episode.

A song where you couldn't understand the lyrics? Sure it wasn't Tom Petty or Bob Dylan singing?

I don’t even try.

 

But I haven’t really listened to anything popular since 1974 or so.

I like Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" because it has "Napoleon" in it.
