the highjacking of a cultural movement to create fast cash by marketing and signing talentless artists who release music of this genre

Music that some "hip hop" artists produce...like those songs directed at girls or the rapper himself/herself does not show that they are good lyricist but somehow a favorite at the club, maybe its catchy and can be listened by those "white folk" that say "I like hip hop, I listen to" so and so but they have no idea about the hip hop culture. I think those artists cannot be looked as one who wins battles or is very influential. I think 50 cent and Eminem are becoming a trend but if you listen to their other tracks on their albums or mixtape sh*t they show their skills(I think Em is a very talented becuz of his "Big Daddy Kane sh_t" he makes words you wonteven condsider to rhyme and makes it work. He uses his prononciation to the fullest) not like other artists, who i think are like hip hop knock-offs. No skills...check. Known to just about everyone...check. Soft...check!
Girl 1- (at the club)hey girl, this is MY song! Lets go dance, come on.
Girl 2- NO! whatever its my song.
(the girls dont walk, they run to the dance floor and shake their little pancakes)
Such artists as Nelly,Ja rule...etc.

A word first mentioned by Binary Star as popular hip-hop music. Namely, Mtv rap songs such as anything produced by Puff Daddy since biggies demise, Ja Rule, 50cent, Eminem, etc...
50cent is a manufactured rapper, complete with his own clothing-line. He is the definition of hip-pop.

Hip-Hop music which achieves mainstream success and popularity. Generally not particularly good, however some Hip-Hop songs are popular because they are actually good.
+s and -s of Hip-Pop:
- Tragically, more people own 'I Am...' than 'Illmatic'.
+ 99 Problems was a popular song, but also very good.
+ Black Eyed Peas' first album, 'Elephunk' was good hip-pop, because they actually made songs about real issues.
- G-Unit
- 'Todd Smith' by LL Cool J
