I find Pop-GAF utterly baffling (RANT)

HONESTLY. At least POP isn't so laser-focused on an image that it discriminates against an entire gender and sexual orientation.

Noooo, koodo. Dont expose them like that

Are you coming for Nicki Minaj

the girl who keeps stealing all the hip hop awards while paying the community dust cause she knows pop is where the money is at

Oh? Is that so? You mean there isn't a history of Rap MCs emphasizing minor or even non-existent records/street cred/general machismo in order to bolster their visibility in Hip Hop?

Sorry honey, no one cares about that in hip hop today. Expose yourself some more though. We all laughing at you.

Musically?

None of those even come close. Janelle, Fiona, and MIA are good though.
 
Fact is, Hip Hop artists dont need pop music or album sales to sell out concerts. What happens when a pop artist doesnt sell? CANCELLED TOURS!!!

Get em Recon
 
There is but the two examples you posted were chosen poorly.

Last time I checked it was somewhat of a scandal in the Hip Hop community when Rick Ross' past as a correctional officer was discovered.

Drake...maybe I should have just linked to an article detailing his beef with Chris Brown...
 
No it sells on FEATURING in POP music

Its TELLING the STRUGGLING genre you stan for needs a to collab with the TOP money making genre to be NOTICED.

The rap game and pop game have been pretty much separate since like the early naughties. Our indie scene is thriving, and pushing new talent to the top thanks to pay as you go, the wonders of free mixtapes, and general buzz and positivity in our community. Meanwhile you're sitting oh so sadly for one of these dime a dozen cheap tricks to produce a hit you can brag to your friends about, and most of the time you're paying out of pocket. Just look at y'alls thread, you live and die by the actions of women in their 40s who probably throw their hips out trying to do dance routines they barely got right in their primes. The age of the popstar is dead, gone, ethered, sitting in a hellhole somewhere with a bunch of old Christina Aguilera music. Now you're relying on cuntry shit like Taylor Swift (LOL) and your stars are coming for features from artists we barely acknowledge (Meek, Ross) Pop music?

Even Pusha had to sell out a bit cause he wasn't selling with his gangster-gangster stuff. On the 5th show I went to he asked the crowd who had bought Popular Demand and no one raised their hands. He didn't come out for an encore. It's a shame really.

Now he's stuck being a hypeman for some untalented prick like Kanye. Don't blame him though hopefully he gets his moment in the sun. Must kill him though knowing how much better he is than Yey. Of course his fans know this already, but people are starting to be like "oh man pusha killed iton this track" well no duh, he's been killing it since Lord Willin etc.

I hope Pusha stays doing pop and gets a name for himself because again it really is a shame he doesn't get more recognition.
 
Heaux plz. That song was big because of it's POP SAMPLE. POP MUSIC made it HAPPEN.

Eminem MADE Dido a thing. No one gave a shit after that. Shaded into irrelevancy.

HONESTLY. At least POP isn't so laser-focused on an image that it discriminates against an entire gender and sexual orientation.

Good music is good music. Pop gaf lacks that in spades. Personal beliefs outside of said music, I dont give a fuck.

Also, that isnt prevalent anymore. Keep using antiquated shade. It aint stressin me.

Only Xsphincta is struggling on the touring front, and we all know that has nothing to do with her (lack of) hits.

Meanwhile, Our Great Grandmother Mad-onna has not seen a day of relevance since 2004 and her latest tour will outgross every hip hawp tour combined.

When you got 98% of the faves in your genre saying homophobic slurs and spittin SEXIST and slut shaming lyrics you can have all the seats in the room.

Not really.

lesser known pop artists usually have a devoted fanbase that will follow them no matter what.
 
not every rap artist is homophobic

Shhh, let the children have their fun.
What katy perry is without all the makeup

This is the best. A random Pusha fan out of nowhere in the midst of this chaos.
 
Wow wow wow....

You guys think rap and hip hop needs pop to survive?

Wat is this....

Clearly.

Look at the Hot 100? Where are the hip hop/rap songs?

Look at the Billboard Airplay charts? Where are the hip hop/rap songs?

Why are some of rappers most successful songs with pop stars? T.I. and Rih "live your life" was a huge hit for him. Rihanna gave Drake his first #1 single with "What's my name", and so on and so forth. Hip Hop and Rap tried tho.

Dismissed.

Good music is good music. Pop gaf lacks that in spades.

if you think that you're really listening to the radio too much and not paying attention to the lesser known pop scene. A lot great pop music has been released this year that won't sell very well and won't get played on the radio.

Old grandma madonna? She sells on name only.

When you got 98% of the faves in your genre saying homophobic slurs and spittin SEXIST and slut shaming lyrics you can have all the seats in the room.

Show me the receipts for your stats. Oh thats right, you pulling them out of your Xtina sized ass.

Not really.

lesser known pop artists usually have a devoted fanbase that will follow them no matter what.

Receipts!!!!! I demand them.

Don't know if it's just me but it's completely the opposite. Rarely do I ever hear "fa**ot" being thrown around and look through the history of the GAF-Hop thread and you'll see people frown upon the use of such homophobic slurs.

Also, where have you listened to racist lyrics?
 
The ultimate irony is that these indie people they stan for actually want the success and fame of the people we stan for.

i meant to say sexist but put racist by accident ignore it

What the hell happened in here? Wrassle-Gaf and Hip-Hop Gaf?

Stans that only matter in ONE thread and have no one else to relate to in the world so they pretend their faves MATTER in a thread dedicated to a community that MATTERS.

Here's someone who doesn't read the thread.

There are plenty of smaller Pop acts that get love in the PopGAF thread and in the community as a whole or, at the very least, get mentioned (Lana Del Rey, Janelle Monae, Grimes, Sky Ferreira, ZZ Ward, just to mention a few people brought up in the last few pages of the thread). The Indie Pop scene is likely just as big (or bigger) than the Indie Rap scene.
