Get the Hip-Pop mug.
A genre of music an artist can fit into. A combination of stable flows through the beat as well as adding pop singing influences.

According to Wikipedia, hip pop is a synonyme for pop rap.

And honestly, that is actually true.

Yeah, like many of us said, it's what killed true hip hop in the early 2000's.

(In)Famous artists:
Jay-Z (after his first three albums)
Nelly
Ludacris
Pitbull
Flo Rida

What I think:
No. I rather stick with real hip hop such as Common, Gang Starr,, Grandmaster Flash and the Sugarhill Gang.
And yes, you can say Grandmaster made a pop rap song with White Lines, but that is from a different era.
The new jack swing in the late 80's and early 90's from artists such Mack Morrison, Michael Jackson and En Vogue isn't pop rap either.
Hip Pop aka Pop Rap is cheap Top 40 rap
