Yeah, I guess it comes down to the fact that the origins of rap predate hip hop, but that hip hop began as a dj and break dancing music that wasn't initially dependent on rapping anyway. So the first hip hop wasn't even about rapping and the first rap arguably happened decades ahead. So me calling the Last Poets self titled album early hip hop is technically wrong except the two genres really did fuse, especially by the end of the '80s like you say.
