13429458, RE: There was nothing pop about LL songs Posted by double 0, Thu Apr-08-21 12:01 PM First.. there is no actual genre of pop especially now. Back in the late 80s and 90s if you were a rapper who wanted to get on the POP charts (Top 40) you needed to make a hybrid song... rnb + hip hop. LL did it.. as did everyone else. "Around the Way Girl" was LL's first top 10 single.. following the formula.
