Title: What makes an artist pop?
Post by: S.G.V. on July 08, 2003, 12:49:24 AM
i see a lot of people call ja...nelly...and ashanti pop...but i dont see why theyre pop and people like snoop...dre...jay-z...etc arent...ja uses hip hop producers...so does nelly...as does ashanti...ja raps about street shit...nelly does sometimes...and ashanti sings about love...like most pop artists...but...if shes considered pop for that...then r & b shouldnt even be a category...they should just call ALL r & b pop...i mean damn...if its on mtv...its on bet...on the radio...etc...its pop...no matter who the artist is...thats the way i see it...

Thats true.. I think people call people pop in the rap industry to say they're a sellout or sum shit like that.. But i feel ya.. If your talkin popularity Eminem has gotta be the biggest poop artist ever

i think people mistake pop and novelty  artists

it's not bad to be pop it just means you're popular


i don't consider ja rule, nelly , lil flip, david banner, bone crusher,  and all those other trash artists as pop artists , cuz they arn't gonna be Popular 10 years from now, they're all novelty


 recent examples are juvenile and silkk the shocker. once the industry changed people lost interest . what DOESN"T make you novelty is if you're still relavent when times change.....that's why peeps like jay-z, snoop dre eminem and such are on a higher level than ja rule and nellly when labled as pop

haha.. whichever way its funny  ;D



first thing this thread brought to mind..
Quote
this is for the radio so I better chill
they won't play it if I co get ill
eazy - eazy-er said than dunn


people been making tracks for the radio since the year dot... you can spot eminem's radio tracks a mile off.. same with snoop.. (these days if the neptunes made it... last time it was timbaland... he has whoever's on top) its stupid not to... but it really depends how far you take it.

i mostly agree with what jake said :)

your argument is getting way old right now

first of all you're wrong about p not changing, i never saw a more blatant jacker of the current trends than him and his crew dating back to 96'. so you fucked up this argument

cash money as a lable is pretty much on an IV as far as i'm concerned , yeah baby might have a couple hit songs but who else is doing shit on that lable......no one , they tried to blow wayne up again....flop. big deal  though my whole point with no limit and cash money is that they're both TRASHHHHHHHHHHH and they OWNED the south A LOT more than flip did and acording to you , you said all of the south is flip's fan base...........well thank you sgv or whatever the fuck your name is, you just proved my point all the south must be is little kids and ignorant rap fans.........i don't know WHY you're defending such crap, next you're going to come out saying that Destiny's child is the all time greatest girl group and that vanilla ice should be considered a GOAT cuz  ice ice baby had girls shaking their ass and showing their tits back in 90'......man your shallow

Post by: Don Jacob on July 08, 2003, 04:13:58 AM
you answered your own question when you asked how are they ignorant when they listen to lil flip......the fact that they listen to him like he's a serious artist proves a point. and i really don't care what the southerners are bumping over there.....you really said it all when you said the south ,academically the stupidest area of the world.


P jumped on the jock of cash money when they came out, now he's trying to be like all these throw back jersey rappers ...


and if i was singing a long to vanilla ice......at least i was like 7 and too young and ignorant  to know the difference, not like i was teenager like you still lisening to crap like that ....


and so what if i work at mc donald's, i make more money than most of my friends with "cooler jobs". i'm a fucking student where else am i going to work Kern Medical center?


beaner please you know you lost an argument when you gotta get deeply personal

actually the south is the dumbest area ,it has the highest rate of illiteracy . california has the lowest test scores and that's only because  most of the people who take those test at the end of the year make designs in on the scan tron, because it doesn't affect their grades at all and is seen as a big waste of time. but of corse you didn't see that on 20/20.

and i'm not getting emotional about my job, i welcome any diss you can throw at me for it, i take it with a grain of salt.

For me, a "pop artist" is a mainstream successfull artist, it dosnt neccesseraly mean he's a sell out or anything, its just that the artist is popular and I cant hate on that

This is for the
cats who hustle all day and night
in the streets doing what's wrong or what's right
you see ya babies when you can
don't ya know ya lil babies need to see you man
if you don't teach them
then they gonna learn the wrong way
so sit down and listen what they got to say.
And you boys in the club every weekend
straight ballin' but you can't take care of ya kids.
When they grow it's to late to try to make it up
you never know when god plan on taking us.
So much evil in the world and it's all new
to a child who ain't been through what you been through
a kid can't play in the streets without dodging bullets
and nine times outta ten
a kid probably pulled it
cause they momma
and daddy weren't there for ‘em
so it's important that we let ‘em know we care for ‘em, yeah.-8Ball

the south aint wack. and its not all aboutthe gold teeth
