Maybe calling "Blame It" rap is a stretch but I just can't think of it as pop or R&B. Maybe because I think all R&B has to sound like "Anytime" by Brian McKnight. @Phil- As artists, I’d say the qualify as straight up “pop” singers, but it’s 2009 baby so even though the verses have melodies, the delivery on these songs is rap, particularly the Sean Kingston tune.

I would add that the pop sound is taking a lot from Europe now. In the UK, we have electro, 80s, dance, rnb, rap mashups. And I can see that crossing over to the US, for example Busta Rhymes+Estelle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYgthVyj2wU good analysis of what’s happened and what is happening.
