I mean, Mariah is the reason that pop and hip hop can virtually overlap nowadays, which is pretty much the foundation for whatever gets played on top 40 radio.
Do we agree? -

u kinda have a point! Pop and Hip Hop were total opposites and people never thought that they could merge. Mariah Carey took a chance by put Ol ? Bastard on one of her mos famous single, Fantasy! This provided the formula for alot of things on the radio. Before that u never heard an Pop singers on a track with a rapper! Michael Jackson could be argued because of his work on Dangerous but that album was more New Jack Swing/R&B based than Pop. -
Is Mariah really a pop singer though??? Exclusively
You cant just put her in that category because of her success shes touched a lot of genres and pop just happened to be one of them but you cant say shes all pop and ODB brought hip-hop to her sound. -
This thread was done last year. The answer is resoundingly Michael Jackson. Nothing has changed. Mariah Carey is a big fish, but she's swimming in the pond that Michael Jackson created.
/Close thread. -
pop is not a ? genre....

I could definitely see this argument in terms of the actual sound of top 40. However in terms of being a "pop"-ular artist, Mike is the blueprint by which all these artists follow. Industry wise I'd say Mike and it's not even close. -
This can't be a real thread

All of which artists? In terms of combining hip hop with pop sensibilities, I'd say a lot of these "pop"-ular artists have followed Mariah, moreso than Mike. -

Well...it started in the G&S and got moved. That should explain things. -

I'm speaking in terms of the multi-media conglomerate that Mike was. He is the blueprint. ? he gave birth to the music video. -

I see what you're saying. And maybe I'm arguing something completely different.
To me, when I look at the overall landscape of popular music today, it's that pop/hip hop fusion that is so prevalent and continues to dominate all formats. And that has Mariah's name all over it. -

Yeah we're kind of arguing two seperate points. I understand the point you're trying to make however. -
