was i spy the last smash single in this vein? i dont pay attention to pop music but this was everywhere and i havent heard stuff like it since

Sure you can technically claim that musically they were garbage but man I love show uplifting and fun they sounded in general

We’re u talking about pop rappers like Ye Graduation and B.o.B or more niggas like Kyle/Flo-rida.

Or both.

Former

eh

it was hit or miss

End of Transmission

Charles Hamilton passed the torch to CHIMP1

Who the hell is this chimp1 guy y’all keep mentioning

Pop rap = Flo Rida, Pitbull, Macklemore, B.o.B

Conscious rap = Kendrick, Cole, Lupe, Wale

Comedy rap = Childish Gambino, Open Mike Eagle, Lil D***y, Ugly God

Stoner/Psychedelic rap = Wiz, Rocky, Currensy, Flatbush Zombies

Not all non-street rap was "pop rap" necessarily.

the pop-rapper par excellence never left

I mean like I said, you can just find more of it from back then. I had no clue this De La Soul album from 2012 existed.

carti is an eclectic weirdo
