^ what he said
although nowadays you can&#39;t tell rap from pop anymore. it&#39;s all the same now. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
Yes u can tell rap from pop. Pop has more of a whiteish tone to it. one of the most named one rite now is Hillary duff (she cant sing but looks good) and britney spears. Oldies such as Nsync and back street boys the ORIGINAL boy bands their pop has no rhyme lyrics what so ever. in order to make rap, rap it has to have rhyme in it. There are a combination of pop and rap music such as Hillary duff and lil romeo- Uhh i forget which song... but yea. </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'>
Dude what are you talking about.Commercial rap is pop now,don&#39;t try and school me on this subject.Do you know what pop means...Popular.Pretty straightfoward.
Rap doesn&#39;t have to be &quot;hardcore&quot;,that&#39;s bullshit.Its people selling an image which you buy.Go learn the roots of the culture,b-boying,graffiti,the G.O.A.T&#39;s.Pick up a Old school Krs-one album,listen to Rza,check out the Rocksteady crew and how they get down.
