Japanese gangsta rap, hahah

Personally, I think Korean rap sounds better than Japanese.
Korean sounds like it was made for rap.
But my friend showed me some clip of a ´famous´ Dutch rapper , there isn´t much of a music-industry there, but it was funny as hell, they had no charisma, and the words did not flow at all, maybe it´s because of the language. But the audience didn´t know better and cheered.
But the Japanese rule in the rock-department.
Some chinese singers can make a good rapping.

what Dutch rapper !? i wonder how it sound like 2

Japanese Gangsta Rap? O_o. I see yakuza's coming thru dancing and singing slicing all their enemies with their swords :P. Japanese people are good at the rock indeed but the rapping still needs more practice.

I remember I heard an korean verision of Gangsters Paradise made me laugh pretty much thoe.

Chinese singers, the guy playing Takumi in Initial D Live Stage had a good voice and made some soft rap music.

let me tell you, it was laaame, no charisma, no talent, there was some pale white ugly boy performing, my asian friend translated while he was rapping and had to giggle herself. I thought he acted like a black gangster with ´yo, yo, yo´s´ and he added some some ´fu-k´ ´fu-king´ ´$hit´ in his dumb, wannebe tough, cool lyrics, really laughable. I don´t think dutch is a very strong or impressive or pretty language to sing in. my friend told me they listen especially to american music, in short there´s no much of an entertainment there.
I can honestly say that (even ) China has better rappers.









Korean rap, you should check MC Sniper out, I have one of his cd´s, it´s called ´be in deep grief´, and I love the tracks number 2 and 16, it´s a good album overall.

The ´problem´ is that japan is quite a well-off country. but I´m sure there are rappers who can rap roughly about things.
I though Zeebra was good.

I agree with this.
Japan is pretty bad with rap for the most part, so the idea of "gangsta rap" and Japan together just makes me feel weird to think of at this point. Japanese does not flow well with rap. Maybe in the future it will be better.

I like this song a lot though (you have to have RealPlayer before you listen)

Co-Key - Aho bounce

It is creative because it actually uses a real Japanese song in it and the guy is actually using rhythm in his rap....a few Japanese rappers seem to fail to understand the importance of rhythmic patterns in rap.

Here is another somewhat interesting rapper:

Hannya - Shinpai sunna

It's creative too because the guy is actually using some Kansai dialect in it. Kansai ben sounds better than hyojun go in rap (even though there's not that huge of a difference between the two, it just generally is better suited for rap with the words and way to say things).

Dragon Ash really isn't Gangsta' Rap but they're pretty good. Them and Rip Slyme are the biggest Rap acts in Japan right now.

I remember their song from Battle Royale's ED.

Omg!!! Don't do that They are Japanese shame...........

How come?

Hey can u give any links to download that Co-Key Aho Bounce?? it sounded real good

wow...very interesting...can i get a translation or just an over all over view of what the second song/rap was about? i really like the beat...it's so cute...and how he sounds is better than the first one...hmmm...i have to say...the fist one was ok...but it sounded like he was stumbling all over! but yeah...it'll be so kind of you to give me an over view of what the second rap is about then that'll be so AWESOME!

Well you're not Japanese so fu-k off.

The second rap is called "Don't worry" like in a slangish way...some if it I didn't understand but generallly it's like "Don't worry...such and such happens and such and such...I'm here".

the second one is quite relaxing, I like, but I´ve heard better ones.

i recommend 50 Yen, Nee-Pac, and Notorious A.T.O

just kidding, but i Jay chou's the foremost rap artst in asia, theres a good reason why. (good lyrics, voice, and beats)

if you do intend to listen to j-rap, i dont recommend it.
that korean rap for Windstruck movie was pretty tyte

aww...you're too kind! i like you! thanks a whole bunch!!! i owe you one

Maybe they have "Yakuza" rap??

Cuz, I doubt Japanese can truely rap about everyday life in the streets with the gun drama and REAL LIFE problems like the US rappers can. They are just WANNABES!!

I don´t think japanese rappers have it that bad as black US rappers, cause you know, Japan is quite a save, wellfaring country, and guns are forbidden and they have future-opportunities.
But they do have ´little´ issues to rap about, probably like how materialistic their environment has become, where as black rappers like to rap proudly about their blingbling and how pore they were.

Yeah, Hip-Hop is cool for anybody....but "Gangsta Rap".....yeah right.... 2

Even ASIAN rappers in the US have it worse than them true Asian Asians.......funny thing is, you see people over here trying to be like over there....and over there they wanna be like over here 2 2

hahah yea yea that right 2

hahahaha yakuza rap
