Hip Pop

Music made to appeal to MTV and pop audiences.

i.e. Hip Pop is: Soulja Boi, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, T.I., Kanye West, new Jay-Z, T-Pain, and anyone on sucker free for the most part.

Hip Pop

Whatever so called "rap" you hear on the radio that repeats its self 20 seconds each day. Something that little kids like but dont know what real rap is because they were born around 2002, and not born in the 90's like I was, but unfortunatley Im still growing up in this generation. But not everything on the radio is bad, just most of the Hip Pop I hear all the time.

Hip Pop Artists include:

Lil Wayne

Soulja Boy

Flo Rida

Pitbull

Ja Rule (used to be a Hip Pop artist but hasnt made an album since 2004 because 50 cent ruined his career)

Birdman

Rick Ross

DJ Khaled

Plies

Kanye West (He used to be real until 808's and Heartbreak came out, started to use autotune, come on Kanye your too good for that piece of shit.)

Kid Cudi

Ace Hood

(I cant say Akon or T-Pain because theyre R&B not Rap)

9 year old: Flo Rida is the truth (tries to act gangster)

Me: Look Flo Rida is what we call, Hip Pop, not real Hip Hop, like Nas said, Hip Hop is dead, and now is being replaced with Hip Pop. Hip Pop is like a mix of Pop and Rap. Listen to real Hip Hop like Immortal Technique, Eminem, Nas, 2Pac, Jay-Z, The Notorious B.I.G., Big Pun, KRS-One, Kanye West before he put out the 808's and Heartbreak album, Mos Def, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Eazy E, Dr. Dre, and E-40 (from the 90's).

9 year old: Ok I'll go try those out.

hip pop

A term that is often used as an insult directed at certain rappers whose songs are constantly played on mainstream radio and MTV, and top the Billboard charts, and who rap about softer, less-threatening subjects which include how rich they are, how they want to please their girlfriends, partying at clubs, drinking champagne (Cry-Stal), and how rich they are. Their music is mostly listened to by young, white surbaban teenage girls, which adds to the criticism since apparently, white people are afraid of rap music if it's too rough. So this is considered the white-friendly alternative. Artists attacked for this include Nelly, 50 Cent, P. Diddy, and Ja Rule. Hilariously considered "Not Real Hip-Hop" by some African-American and Hispanic rap fans. It IS actual hip-hop, just attacked because apparently rappers aren't allowed to become sucess ful, make lots of money, and have their music played alot.

Yo, Nelly ain't real hip-hop! Real hip-hop is Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and De La Soul! That shit is hip-pop!

hip pop

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
