Super Bass is a pop-rap song with a pop and electronic-influenced hip hop beat which HAPPENS to have a pop chours and a bridge and HAPPENS to have catchy rap verses. It's not hip hop, but not pop either.

Half pop in the title, pop influenced beat, and a pop chorus? So basically it's pop.

Hm seeing that thread about hip hop being white hot and etc. Has me thinking on the cultural impact I want Nicki to have with this album. I'm really interested in hearing these topics she's speaking on! Is it possible she would speak on the state of hip hop and it's double standards or limitations ?I want this album to hit hip hop culture, pop culture ( in terms of media and people) and critics hard! Seeing an album have cultural value is very important to me. Do you guys think the last two album had cultural impact ( I want your honest opinions)

He said "pop-electronic influenced HIP HOP beat."

Bottom line is, Super Bass is more Hip Hop than the rest of her pop songs.

It's not, though.
By that logic, M4L is a pop song too.
Pop influenced beat means that pop added extra "flavor" to the original beat (which is electro-hop) and "pop-rap" is basically everything that isn't straight hip hop, it's rap, but has pop influences.

Super Bass is just like Fancy, except that Fancy's beat is 100% hip hop with not pop INFLUENCES.

Lauryn Hill's album, what is an example of a cultural album in your opinion ? (@ richa and anybody that's interested in replying)

I think the song of insta is the next single

Is there a chance Nicki might give us a snippet of a single at BET awards?

Exactly. I never said SB is full hip hop, but I said that it isn't as pop as her other pop songs.

I actually dont blame Nicki !!! I blame her Urban fanbase whom were to harsh on her judging her and abandoning her due to songs like Starships and Super Bass and other popish songs they wanted a full 100% hip hop Nicki and Nicki sorta transformed into a pop sensation ... Now u might say how does that hurt her ? Losing ur urban fanbase is one thing but nicki as a pop star isnt working as Stars like Rihanna Gaga Perry (original pop stars) have huge fanbases and Nicki cant compete with that

This is true...

BEYONCE was trending because of the surprise release, it had nothing special.

Hm I see where you're coming from but my idea is one that causes controversy and causes topic discussion among the public..I'm going on a limb here hope I don't get dragstered but oh well IMO l.a.n is an excellent track example of a track on a cultural album, the way how she used rap to discuss the horrible morality and work ethic of African American men and called them out, it was so controversial that even the single cover got involved in controversy (Malcolm x etc)

The devil is lie.
In this pills n potions thread we are going to express the truth not fantasy...
The closest are: 21, let go, fame /fame monster, back to black, even that one taylor swift album.
For males, justified, confessions, that one kanye west album, that one Coldplay album, etc.
While pnp doesn't deliver as much im sure tpp will be another one.
Also, i was just thinking about pnp getting 5 mics.
The current albums female rappers have to go by are:
The miseducation of lauryn, hard core and maybe the album with work it and thats a huge stretch.
I think tpp will complete that trinity...
Honorable emotion to salt n pepas very necessary

No thats for August Alsina not TPP. She confirmed its not on the album.

It did have something special otherwise it wouldn't have sold what it sold.

The surprise release is what brought the album itself to everyone's attention and then bits like "I been dranking, watermelon", "surfbort", "***FLAWLESS", "i woke up like dis", etc. all went viral. People might not have been talking about the album itself for weeks (what albums get that kind of discussion nowadays anyway?), but people talked about the material on the album + Bey herself for long after the album was released.

I agree.

Nicki usually doesn't talk about serious topics on her songs, at least not on her singles, but maybe that'll change with TPP.
