Features

AllMusic describes pop rap as "a marriage of hip-hop beats and raps with strong melodic hooks, which are often presented as part of the chorus section in a standard pop song structure".[1] Pop rap also tends to have less aggressive lyrics than street rap.[1] Pop rap songs often contain pop-like lyrical content on themes of love and relationships.[2]
