Japanese Rap, Hip Hop, etc....

[-Yu-]

Hi, I'm back here, whether you think it is good or not!
Uh, I'll say something about Japanese Rap, Hip Hop and those kind of Japanese music, which have been raised for some years.

Personally I like some such as Dragon Ash, Rip Slime(is that how you spell it?, just forgot), but I don't like people like " Yeah, I'm No.1, just you guys follow me, come on!" you know, it's not music in my opinion.
Artists who sing ( rap?) are in my opinion are.... Zeebra, K-dub shine, Dabo,,,,,I don't want to write countless names, so stop here.
I kind of felt disgusted when I l watched Zeebra and others on TV rapping about something like "I'm overwhelming you guys, ha!" and slashing some ninjas with Katana.Well, if some of people here like them, sorry I dont mean to offend anyone, and if you guys want to say something good about them, you are welcome to.

Let's get to the main theme here, uh, so I think there are two types of Japanese Hip Hop, as I wrote above, sort of funky music with rap and Japanese hard-core rap?

If you like any, sort it into one of 2categories and tell me which as well as band or an artist you like.

Some years ago, there was only Zeebra, who raps but now there are tons of them appearing on TV accounting for 10 to 20% of the total.

Why do you think it is?

Thanks.

Zeebra is off the hook. Havent heard new stuff from him in a while though.

And as rappish as their Viva la Revolution album was, Dragon Ash's recent effort was a lot more reminiscent of their Mustang days. Still good, but not quite hip hop anymore.

And Rip Slyme are incredibly fun to watch live. Great great fun.

I love J-hip hop.

Including people like Uh,,, don't know who's a good example, Uh, people like really proud of themselves whenever they appear on TV?

I got into their album "Five"(I think this is what it is called), they made quite a new style with it.

Vivala Revolution was really really good, I loved it, Zeebra did sound good at the time, oh, this is my opinion.

I think you misunderstood me.

By 'off the hook' I meant Zeebra kicks ***. I love him.

Oh, okay, I thought "off the hook" meant like he has neither worked out any song nor performed for while.
