I'm guessing you don't have kids.

You hung up on the sound but the sound isn't the issue. Yeah hip-hop is the sound of Pop and Katy Perry got hip-hop infused hits so yeah Rock Star's sound is cool and my kids bop to it when the clean version comes on the radio but you don't reach MJJ or even Justin Beiber or Bruno Mars status with opening lyrics on your radio song like "Ayy, I've been fuckin' hoes and poppin' pillies...."


Sidenote: Its funny you mention 21 Savage because my wife's company was trying to decide between brining in 21 Savage and T-Pain and everyone was like "21 Savage who?". This is a tech company with tons of the cool young people and they went with T-Pain.

Anyway, having a song that charts on the Pop charts isn't the same as reaching Pop Mega Stardom where the grandmas and the kids know you and your song by name and you doing Ellen appearances.
