According to Wikipedia, hip pop is a synonyme for pop rap.
And honestly, that is actually true.
Yeah, like many of us said, it's what killed true hip hop in the early 2000's.
(In)Famous artists:
Jay-Z (after his first three albums)
Nelly
Ludacris
Pitbull
Flo Rida

The new jack swing in the late 80's and early 90's from artists such Mack Morrison, Michael Jackson and En Vogue isn't pop rap either.
