The act of stripping a song of its cultural identity or authenticity to make it more appealing to commercial or mainstream audiences. Usually involves taking hip-hop, R&B, or dancehall songs and repackaging them to appeal to a "pop" demographic. Commonly associated with sampling and whitewashing.
"They really pop washed that song - took out the rap verse, added a pop hook, and now it’s all over the radio."
"Did you hear 'Breathe' by Blu Cantrell? They totally pop washed 'What's The Difference'."
