Because the sampling of popular songs and percussion-heavy instrumentation is easy to groove to and rap artists usually do a lot more lyrically than pop artists do in the same amount of song length. 

Why do people like this specific project though? Couldn't tell ya

i def see this appeal in melodic rap sung by women, but the masculine energy is just so off putting from male rappers - but see that’s the exact reason it’s so popular: men are not okay

Obviously, but nothing clever makes you feel “sexy, dangerous and ghetto”

But this Drake album cant relate, sadly. But if society can tolerate Katy’s music then sure Drake is allowed

Ms. Badu would like a word. As would Doechii. As would Jay-Z on some of his earlier records. Especially Kendrick.
