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!

Get the hip pop mug.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.

Get the drubble hip popper mug.Another way of expressing that something is extremely chic or trendy. To say something is “hip and poppin’” is to say that it is popular, “in”, or “the next big thing”
