rhyming is cool
Jaxon Ortiz
What the hell is happening? We can't let them do this.
Connor Morgan
Is rap really that popular in Japan? I thought Japanese can't rhyme.
Brayden Sanchez
is it true that japanese people bring immigrants from poor african countries and dress them up like cool hip hop black man from american media just to stand in front of their stores and try to bring in customers?
Eli Hill
The Yakuza aren't really Japanese.
Daniel Hill
Hip hop is cool when they aren't singing about the society or police cruelty agains minorities.
Eli Ross
Everything is popular in Japan. Do you think Japan is a closed island that doesn't consume foreign culture?
Easton Flores
It should be
Dominic Robinson
This, they even have a Chicano subculture.
Colton Torres
What do you guys think of Japanese rap and hiphop? They rarely if ever talk about politics or gangbanging or crime in their songs which most of the western acts I listen to do.
It's like they're still stuck in the 90s era of vibes and camaraderie. Even people like moe and ghosts has her subject matter be more abstract.
Jonathan Hill
What's worse is when the writer clearly isn't a rapper, and what's really really worse is seeing lyrics translated into English by other people who also aren't rappers.
Carter Green
Yea Forums should be. I'm tired of you /pol/tarded schizo fucks shitting up the board.
Jack Hill

What a faggot
Parker Adams
I like it, it's just pure fun and not diluted with trash politics and virtue signalling.

His Kaguya is sweatty, sees him with a different chick already, moar spagghetti.

There are some Japanese rappers I enjoy listening to, but it's more of a hit or miss. Thematically it's usually about women, money, or drugs, so it's not that different from American rap, but the delivery is not as obnoxious.

Needs to be some sort of test or filter that will filter out pol tards and their latinx army like a captcha of some sort specially tailored to them

Grayson Cooper
Well there is no mention of crime cause well nobody wants to get locked up whatsoever. If someone was repping they are a real hard g, but if they can't back it up they look like a fucking busta. There is probably songs about other shit you don't like, but you probably haven't heard them. I like some of the 90s stuff and I got a mediocre el nino cd this year. Sadly, there is few rappers that can touch viper the rapper in world let alone Japan .
Ayden Gonzalez
100x better than idolshit.

It's funny, because hip hop formed originally as a culture from the poor class. That's why rich people rapping makes it automatically bad. Same for nips, aren't they one of the most NPC-people in the world, rapping that inherently involves politics or some kind of contrarian opinion makes it even funnier. That's why they can only resort to this lukewarm "humor" rap, which is the most cancerous thing to exist in the genre. Either do it right or not at all.
Adrian Myers
And hip hop has ALWAYS been about the message and politics. It's only when the suitmen came that the entire thing became very stagnated and sterile.
Landon Phillips
Something that would cause people like Jose hizucoatl here to seethe and stop posting for several hours
Levi Flores
>this lukewarm "humor" rap, which is the most cancerous thing to exist in the genre.
"Emo rap" has been a subgenre for a while now
Jeremiah Smith
Not a rap fan, the image I got from it was that its mostly about doing drugs and banging hoes.
Carson Perez
Why are you so racist towards hispanic people?
Revisionists will probably claim that they were forced to do that by the industry or something
Jeremiah Richardson
You go on and project and call all the Japanese npcs. Then go on to argue the main point of hip hop is politics. Don't you have the reasoning to see why that is wrong? If not, why are you on this board?
Caleb Lopez
That's the image almost everyone has now, because that's what it is now. The roots have burned a long time ago.
Charles Howard
Okay so the way I see it there's two type of Japanese rap: the more "indie pop" melodic style, like DAOKO, ReoL and Suiyobi no Campanella.
And something closer to 90s USA rap like Rhymester and BUDDHA BRAND.
I was skeptical about it but I checked this song out and damn it rocks, actual NAS-tier rap.

I have a surface level understanding of Japanese via manga and anime so I can sorta follow the general meaning, with looking at the song text lyrics, of course.

That Kaguya one felt like it went one for fucking ever.

Except for immigration.
Angel Reyes
I like it as listening to hip hop in foreign languages makes you zone into the musical aspect instead of the lyrics. Because the rap in English is basically a glorified nursery rhyme for low information voters, having the lyrics not a factor makes you really feel the vibe and beat. Here, an example from anime:
Kayden Fisher
How much closer is it to rap than it is to denpa? Because the lyrics are uinintelligible.
Anthony Hughes
Oliver Evans
Japanese rap is trash and that's why I like it youtu.be
Connor Evans
That's why you always gotta google the lyrics 歌詞 whenever you listen to a Japanese song on Youtube, some Youtube channels include subtitles but for the older stuff like Tokyo Jihen and Makoto Kawamoto (not really rap but that's what pops up in my Youtube recommendations) you gotta search it out on Google, compare the text to what is being sung, look up the harder words on "jisho.org" (a really useful site dictionary site for deciphering Japanese text in sentence format).
You get a very VAGUE exposure to spoken Japanese at least, having an anime watcher background really helps with "hearing separate words", reading manga raws and doujinshis helps you recognize the more common kanji words.
Yeah, yeah I know it's a bad method of learning Japanese, in actual Japanese you gotta keep in mind to always add "desu" to nouns and adjectives and change the verb into a "-masu" form at the end of sentences if you don't wanna sound rude to real people (or should I say, riajuu no hitobito)
Parker Hill
the DJT thread is two blocks down
Levi Ortiz
They are appropriating black culture
Dylan Reyes
What kind of 90s hip hop are you listening nigga, lmao. The 90s were just as political and "venerating" of gang violence. What did you think Coolio was calling out?
I hate this nu-con bs, you guys are all the same, complain about todays politics in todays music because sincere feeling or not, it makes you uncomfortable but the music of the past is something to venerated even though at the time it was just as provocative and political vs then sensibilities
Wyatt Fisher
90s japanese rap

70% of the song are words with actual meaning, I see a couple of grammar structures in there as well, also check out this

I don't think this is rap, at least not stylistically
Something more along otaku pop music
Brayden Scott
actually the 90s were probably the least political years in hip-hop because gangsta shit took over and the actual political rappers like chuck d and ice cube stopped making (good) music. It only really came back in the 00s due to the influence of lupa fiasco and kanye which has carried over to the 10s.
Evan Watson
Is this rap?
Robert Torres
>I don't think this is rap, at least not stylistically
Yeah that's why I thought of it as denpa and not rap. It's just a bunch of Japanese onomatopoeia put together to sound cute and makes the listener get addicted to the song itself without having actual meaning to it.
Samuel Torres
I like the jazzy stuff

user Japan is probably the only country on earth that dabbles in nationalist rap.
Aiden Gonzalez
This is more "anime soundtrack" style, I think this would fit as a MHA opening, like UverWorld
Nice vocals btw
Ryder Morgan
>nationalist rap
wtf is that even supposed to mean

Right-wing nationalism as relayed hip hop. It's exactly what it says on the tin.
James Perez
>only country on earth that dabbles in nationalist rap.
Finland has them too
Carson Reed
that is way funnier to me
Christopher Wilson
do they use shamisen/koto music as beat samples?
