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.
