You're right to make the distinction between rap and hip hop....I'd describe rap as the audio portion (lyrics...djing...music) of the entire hip hop culture. Although many of us use the two terms interchangably.
As for the definition of art, I'd use Webster's definition:
"...the conscious use of skill and creative imagination; or an aesthetic object produced as an artistic effort".
