Lastly there was pop rap which grew popular in the late 1980s, similar to hardcore or classic it still looked to prove realness to its audience. The main artist were surprisingly not from New York but from Philadelphia, this group was a duo that included the Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince as the first recipient of a grammy from the new rap genre. This music did not necessarily rap about street life but rapped about humorous or more relatable things for mainstream media. For this reason, core rappers labeled any artist who entered this genre as “inauthentic sellouts”. Trying to mend the lines between hardcore rap and pop artist such as Heavy D and the Boys created R&B rap which included rapped versus, nasal vocals, and harmonized chorus, this way not made popular until P. Diddy and the Notorious BIG used this style. From this subgenre also came New Jack Swing where artist adopted a more street look but rapped to more syncopated and distinctive rhythms. Artist included Bell Biv Devoe, Johnny Kemp and paved the way for new female artist like Mary J Blige, TLC, and Total.
