Pop Rap | comment |
Pop rap is a subgenre of both Hip-Hop and Pop that emerged in The '80s (during The Golden Age of Hip Hop) and became extremely popular at the beginning of The '90s, with another resurgence at the beginning of The New '10s. It aims to combine the edge and rhythmic nature of hip-hop with the mass appeal and theatrical approach of pop. Pop rap production tends to place more emphasis on the melody instruments in the beat rather than on the bass and percussion, and uses the fashionable sounds of the time. Many pop rap songs will feature both a pop singer and a rapper collaborating on the track, usually with the singer taking the hook and the rapper handling the verses. Infectious sing-along hooks are an essential, and pop-rap often uses light lyrical content like romance, breakups, sex, dancing/partying/the club/the beat, self-empowerment, and occasionally novelty topics, though there are significant exceptions. During pop rap's second resurgence in The New '10s, a general audience more hip-hop literate than in the 90s led to a wave of pop-rap using more traditional hip-hop subject matter like Boastful Rap, Glam Rap, social issues, lyrical technique showcases, and even battle rhymes and diss tracks. While "pop" is short for "popular", it shouldn't be assumed that a rapper makes pop rap just because they're a popular rapper — if influence from general-audiences pop music isn't present, they are just making hip-hop (or a different subgenre of it). Similarly, it's possible to make pop rap music that nobody actually likes. Pop rap is stereotyped as being more lyrically clean (it needs to get radio play), and several acts in this genre built careers on being The Moral Substitute to edgier rappers of the time (such as MC Hammer and Will Smith), but there are many pop rap songs that got popular because they combine accessible production with controversial subject matter (Lil Nas X, "MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)"), gratuitously vulgar lyrics (Azealia Banks, "212") or, indeed, both (Eminem, The Marshall Mathers LP). Similarly, pop rap is often assumed to be more musically simplistic than other hip-hop, but rappers such as The Notorious B.I.G., Eminem, Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Nas, Nicki Minaj and Jay-Z have all made pop rap records that do not compromise on their exceptional technique. As pop rap places more focus on the melody instruments in the instrumental than conventional hip-hop, some pop rap is also praised for complexity and musicianship in its instrumentals, such as Dr. Dre, Pharrell Williams, BROCKHAMPTON and Lizzo. Despite pop and hip-hop being similar genres in many ways — both pull in influence from every other genre of music and aim to be fun, attitude-driven and accessible — the pop rap label is often used as a pejorative to imply an act is inauthentic and shallow. Pop rappers such as MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida and Pitbull are often derided as making watered-down party music for white and mostly female audiences, unlike the real stuff from the streets. The result of this is that there are many rappers with enormous pop audiences, making songs for pop radio, that use pop song structures, pop hooks, and pop lyrical content, who would be insulted by any attempt to label them as "pop rappers". LL Cool J mocked his labelling as "the forefather of pop rap" on Twitter; Eminem's attempts to resist the label led to his legendary Turn of the Millennium beefs with Boy Bands and Teen Pop artists, though he was still happy to collaborate with adult contemporary artists like Dido and Elton John, and would be comfortable self describing as a "pop star" by The New '10s. Despite this, pop rap is still enormously popular. Many pop rap acts are rightly recognised as hip-hop pioneers and skilled rappers and performers. Due to a greater awareness of the Unfortunate Implications of rejecting pop music outright, some critics have highlighted pop rap's greater accessibility to women and LGBT+ performers, with the subgenre containing many female emcees who use their music to share feminist messages. While white emcees are often thrown into the pop rap subcategory due their skin colour making them easier to sell to a largely white pop audience, many white rappers gravitate towards a poppy sound due to an uncynical desire to fuse hip-hop with their own White-music influences. Pop rap is also a way of breaking down the Public Medium Ignorance that surrounds hip-hop, serving as a Gateway Genre to hip-hop as a whole. Compare to Rap Rock, which can overlap, such as in the case of artists like Run–D.M.C., Crazy Town and Post Malone. Significantly commercial Alternative Hip Hop, Hip Hop Soul and G-Funk also overlap, as well as Country Rap, Southern Rap, Trap Music and Gangsta Rap with appeal outside of the usual audience niche. Horrorcore pop rap is historically rare, but does exist note e.g. Eminem's "My Name Is" and "Stan", DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Nightmare On My Street" and "Then She Bit Me", Snoop Dogg's "Murder Was The Case", and became increasingly common in the late 2010s and early 2020s due to the rise of SoundCloud Horrorcore and horror-pop. It's common to the point of cliché for Hardcore Hip-Hop artists to transition into pop rap after they become successful, or at least make several songs in the style. Many an artist working in a less commercial subgenre has had a Black Sheep Hit with a pop rap song... or tried for one. |

Lil Nas X became a major artist through attracting controversy — first, when his Country Rap song "Old Town Road" was rejected from the Billboard charts due to not being enough of a country song (which many declared to be racist, despite the fact that Lil Nas had made a country rap song in the first place because he realised it would be easier to make it chart), and second by antagonising the religious right with a button-pushingly homoerotic and blasphemous video for "MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)". MONTERO (2021) "MONTERO (Call Me by Your Name)" |

Heavy D: Interestingly, despite hitting all the checkmarks for a pop rapper, and having a legion of fangirls, the Heavster's lyrical skill and choice of producers got him props from the hardcore crowd, and allowed him to work with more hardcore emcees, most notably giving The Notorious B.I.G. his major label debut. | |

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince: Will Smith, both solo and with DJ Jazzy Jeff, was a shameless pop rapper, and openly wore the label during the height of his solo career. This, and being famous for not using profanity, led to him being mocked by more hardcore contemporaries, most famously Eminem. Ironically, Nas, his total opposite (though he was flirting with pop rap at the time), was a ghostwriter on select tracks on his 1997 release Big Willie Style. DJ Jazzy Jeff felt limited by the Contractual Purity of his association with Will Smith as it prevented him working with edgier rappers. A collaboration he did with the considerably more vulgar Eminem ("When To Stand Up") was squelched by his record label for this reason. |

Sean Combs and his Bad Boy Records was a significant force on pop rap in the late 90s and early 2000s, often blamed for the "Jiggy Era" or "Shiny Suit Era", a controversial moment in pop culture where rappers wore Space Clothes and rapped about how much money they had into fish-eye lenses. Bad Boy signee Jadakiss of The L.O.X. made a significant album in this style (Money, Power, Respect), but admitted he hated it, rebelling against it as soon as he was able. Lil' Kim, one of the most controversial recipients of five mics in The Source for The Naked Truth in 2005 — a review which commentators have speculated was payola at a time when The Source was struggling with its ownership and editorial staff. Ma$e, considered a great of the Shiny Suit Era. Famously quit rapping to become a priest. Missy Elliott, another great of the Shiny Suit Era, a boundary-pushing Big Beautiful Woman and sexually dominant female MC. |

Dr. Dre's G-Funk sound would become the "philosopher's stone" of creating radio friendly rap while still having enough hardcore appeal to not be considered a sellout. However, Aftermath, his followup album to The Chronic, and his Hip Hop Soul group The Firm, both garnered criticism for being too poppy and commercial. The Chronic (1992) After adopting the G-Funk sound, N.W.A became this, although they never toned down on their shocking and profane lyrics. This became the appeal. Straight Outta Compton (1988) Snoop Dogg, collaborator with Dre on his genre-defining G-Funk album The Chronic, later became known for his extreme enthusiasm to sell out, collaborating with pop artists like Katy Perry and Robyn as well as pop-EDM like David Guetta and The Chainsmokers. But he never toned down his Gangsta Rap lyrical content or his love of pot. |

Lizzo is a great example of a pop rapper able to use the genre's greater interest in melody to her advantage, combining cheerful, catchy self-empowerment songs with her virtuoso flute playing. | |
