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.

drake, lil wayne, soldier boy, beyonce, mariah scary, and all the music they play on kiss fm & power 106 in L.A. oh yea lets not forget the crap they show on Mtv & bet

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.
