Genre: Pop/ Rap

 

 

Pop-rap (also known as pop rap or hip pop) is a genre of music fusing the rhythm-based lyricism of hip hop music with pop music's preference for melodious vocals and catchy tunes, which gained mainstream popularity during the 1990s. The lyrics are often light hearted, with choruses similar to what's heard in pop music. The influences and roots of pop rap trace back to late 1980s hip hop artists, such as Run DMC, LL Cool J, and Beastie Boys.

 

 

 

The original Pop/ Rap genre was really been put into the lime light by artist such a Run DMC and successful songs such as 'U Can't Touch This' this song really did get the Pop/ Rap genre going and publicised it.

 

The genre is also a very good genre to make a music video out of, most music videos in the pop/rap genre are very disjunction. I believe this is easier to make because you can let your imagination run wild.
