japanese rap?

[bonjovial]

I suppose one could argue that this is not actually considered rap, but putting that aside-- I wonder why Japanese or even Chinese rap sounds so much more pleasant than American rap does

I TOLD YOU YOU WOULD LOVE KOKO NI IRUYO!!!

[bonjovial]

It's really calming! I like~

I've never heard of SoulJa though. Is he relatively new?

[razuberii]

i've been wondering the same thing myself since forever D:

aahhhh junrenka.. T_T ♥

LOL when you said soulja i was like "....soulja boy?! >__>"

[bonjovial]

Yeah, the name is similar. I was looking him up on wikipedia and kept getting the other. XD

Junrenka is so much love ♥~

I've come to believe it's because Asian rap isn't about smacking your bitch up, or passing the Courvoisier. And if it really is, my meager knowledge of the language wouldn't pick up on it anyway. :Dv

[bonjovial]

Yeah, it really isn't. Although, this morning I thought of Koki and his infamous cartoon KAT-TUN II You song, and that one kind of is... so maybe it depends. XD

Soulja

Soulja has been performing in Japanese clubs for several years, but this is his first big hit. He wrote the lyrics and the music and his new album, Spirits, will be out soon. He is half Belgian and speaks Japanese and English fluently. Plus a little French and Dutch. Thelma Aoyama, who sings with him, is a part Japanese and part Trinidadian.
