Pop rap, also called hip pop, pop hip hop, melodic hip hop or melodic rap, is a blend of pop music with hip hop.
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". Pop rap also tends to have less aggressive lyrics than street rap. Pop rap songs often contain pop-like lyrical content on themes of love and relationships.
