I actually don't like when people try to split hip hop into different elitist groups. I don't get how some people consider *barf* Soulja Boy the greatest out but if that entertains them then who am I to tell them what to enjoy? Besides, there is so much variety in rap that there is something for literally everyone.

I don't think its splitting anything up due to the fact that we have categories for a reason. "Artists" such as Soulja Boy would never fall into the category of being a hip hop artist, IMO. The media tends to throw the word hiphop around nowadays and pretty much label everything they see as such, therefore the meaning becomes distorted and watered down.
"All MCs and lyricists are rappers...all rappers aren't MCs and/or lyricists."<-----Thats the difference.
