magilicuti Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 timberlake, j-lo and mariah to name a few. i mean their new songs have some good beats but why throw in the hip hop. everything is getting hip hop thrown in it lately. i don't mind hip hop but i don't think it needs to be thrown in all the songs out now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reeni Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 its all about the money to reach different markets when a pop star adds a rapper instead of being played on z100 it also can be played on hot97 take for instance mariah carrey new song with cameron its taken from which didnt do that well she took it added vocals now he can profit from it which might make people buy his album on the other hand when ppl are on the same label record execs. might add a rapper youve never heard of to get there name out on the streets;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I especially dont mind if its J-LO b/c she is kinda hip-hop to begin with. It goes w/ most of her songs. Her best songs are the ones with rap in them actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
