I will agree to an extent about the dirty south turning it pop (i.e. Nelly, Ludacris)
but the dirty south keeps it nitty gritty too, I have trouble seeing anything Cash Money being seen as pop.
Luda is not Pop, hell when Oprah criticizes you, that just don't seem "Pop" to me.
As far as Cash Money, they have too many "sing-song" songs, like Rappers trying to sing. Make up your damn mind, Before in the 90's R &B artists were doing a little rapping in their songs, trying to have that "hard" image, Jodeci's remix songs come to mind ("Come and Talk to me, I really want to know your name..."). Now, R&B artists just have rappers featured on their albums.
They just don't artists like Blackmoon, Smif N' Wessun, Jeru The Damaja anymore, hell I rather listen to Dell The Funky Homosapien than listen to Cash Money.
