American Rap Vs. Asian Rap?

[Guest meow23]

Definitely American Rap.

In terms of style, rythym, lines, AND EVERYTHING!!! Although most of the rappers of America do not have good looks, but their rappings are so cool.

Btw, I really agree that Edison Chen should stop rapping. He can't rap and he can't sing.

[butterflyeffect]

Like the people said before me, American rap is more about drugs, money, sex, etc.. which has been way over done for too long.

Personally, I don't like rap at all.. but in Asian songs with little rap parts I like it.

Asian rap actually has meaning although it may make no grammatical sense at all.

It's more enjoyable in my opinion.

American rap;

Its always about girls and expensive cars with deep dish chrome rims, or being a richard simmons or ho, or having a lot of money then getting it stolen then getting your whole gang to shoot em in your PV.

I hate it.

But its great because for people who like rap, american rap pretty much pwns anything.

but I prefer Asian rap, moreso about life and love, and more meaningful.

American rap is about the same thing over and over. People getting shot, wife getting stolen, etc.

American rap is not solely limited to those subjects. Check out late 80s to 90s rap music and you'll get what I mean. It runs a whole lot deeper than that. And the artists that do talk about girls/money have done it with skill, i.e. Raekwon, AZ, Ghostface.

[Guest mcmelly]

american rap: more hardcore? their message in their raps are realistic things happening in america

asian rap: err... more on the softer side? more abt love...

[Guest stonerboi27]

asian rap just isnt the same as american rap. rap was originally created by african americans and there is a certain style to rap which asian rap artist do not posess. asian rappers just imitate "original" rap with own contents... they are changing rap into something else... i prefer the original

[Guest jae!fany]

I see them as two different categories, because the subject is different for the two kinds, american rap is sex drugs, etc, and asian rap is about..love? and other stuff? LOL sometimes if asian rap is in english i really dont understand what they're saying.

American rap in OUR generation (since i dont listen to oldies, or songs from the 80's or 90's.) is just sex, drugs, money, girls, waking up at motel 6 in the morning, blahblahblah. its so overdone and boring, not to mention degrading, hahah. except EMINEM, he sings about all that stuff too, but some of his songs are really meaningful because they're about like his life? haha. i used to LOVEEEE EMINEM, and rap, but after a while, all that sex, drugs, and money got old. I dont know about all the underground rap people are talking about though, i dont really listen to ANY american music anymore, except occasionally when i run across a song i like that's playing in a store, haa.

Asian rap i prefer, because even though its not the original thing and sounds stupid or doesnt make sense sometimes, its doesnt have as much cussing and has more meaning (when its in korean, japanese, or english LOL), and do they really talk about sex drugs and money? O.o i dont remember, haha but i dont think so, I think asian rap is cute. except for some, when they try TOO hard to be like american rappers. I like Big Bang, :X does their rap count? (: but big bang may count as bands who "try too hard" to some people. O.o

[Guest antares]

it all started here, the only way it'd be completely different is if they invented a whole new genre.

Music started here in America, how are people supposed to claim their originality when it's already been done?

Not all music started in America. Reggae is from Jamaica. Bossa Nova/Samba is from Brazil (American jazz artists play Antonio Carlos Jobim's songs all the time). Punk originated in England and Australia. And in terms of art music, classical music came from Europe (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc.) Please don't talk in absolute terms.

What you both are saying is simply a cop out. Black people never gave up so easily in creating new music genres and sub-genres. Look at just jazz and it's sub-genres: ragtime, bebop, modal, cool, free, jazz/rock fusion, etc. All the great innovators in jazz were black--Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, etc. They never gave up. Don't say it's already been done and nothing more can be created. Maybe South Korean artists are just not trying hard enough to be innovative.

[Guest kpopjunkie13]

american rap- trashy!

the lyrics are rubbish and mostly with explicit words.. i cant bear listening to rap songs..

i really pity those little kids who loves to rap.. they must be listening to craps. I really think listening to rap will make you stupid, with themes like sex, drugs, money.. and lyrics like.... this is why im hot!! and im like wtf shut up we dont care.

asian rap- no comment since i dont understand what theyre saying except when they rap in english

i admit im a little biased but heck i dont like rap at all except eminem's songs.

[Guest Ken1430262807]

personally i can't stand rap or hip hop (which are two different genres by the way,)

but i believe american rap andhip hop is better because all asian hip hop and rap is nothing but copy cats. the whole style now is nothing but american hip hop from the 90's. and for the pppl who says that like asian rap because it don't talk about sex. give it a few years and i bet they are going to be rapping about sexing b*tches and slapping ho*s on a saturday night,

I know american rap has gotten a bad flavor

but it's just much more legit than asian rap.

I personally like forgein asian rap than asian american rap.

cuz no offense

but asian rappers like Jin, thas all he raps about is being an asian guy who can flow

and it's so repetitive and annoying, it's like

"Okay Jin we get the point!" that's why I can't stand him

I don't totally agree with what Evercool said

but people make it like asian rap is sugar and spice when they say bad things also.

Some of them cuss, say the "N" word and they imply bad things that have to do with gangs violence I won't drop any names though

Like I said

I think american rappers are more true to the game than alot of asian rappers are

asian rap just isnt the same as american rap. rap was originally created by african americans and there is a certain style to rap which asian rap artist do not posess. asian rappers just imitate "original" rap with own contents... they are changing rap into something else... i prefer the original

I almost agree 100%

but for what I bolded

so true!

[Guest SukarDrops]

even though the originality in asian rap is kina crap i still listen to it..i dont listen to american rap whats so ever..its annoying..like seriously who cares about what you have..NOBODY..they are always going on and on and on about the diamonds on their grillz diamonds on their chains diamonds on their wrists diamonds on their rangzz..and im like wow.yeaa thats nicee thats umm NICE..and then they go on about some shorty leaving a club with them so they can add to their collection of STD'S...and i never understand what their talking about....i just want to punch all of them..their so retarded i just wanna punch them..

[Guest 0oyokisuo0]

american in in the 90s was seriously hot. forward to now....most of them are just junk. its either (like everyone else said) sex, drugs, drink, money, how "im the best in the game bleh bleh bleh", how they grew up in the ghetto n now they have everything or just songs that "creates" new dance moves == but some of the beats i love.

korean rap...more underground though have its own style. i mean its beat n style is totally different. its content is different also. i like that. although i LOVE yg and its music, most of yg's rap music are actually based off american's. but i listen to them anyway.

they are different. america may be the place where music got popular..its so not the origin.

[Guest nobody knows]

I prefer Asian rap over American

PARTLY because American rap = (to me)

mostly about wanting to get laid, having sex, missing an ex that dumped him over 294078233 years ago

English + rap just sounds so... like they're spitting

the song is ALL rap. They can add other things to it too

Asian rap, since I don't understand it, I don't have to worry about the lyrics being about sex or whatever, it also flows better too

dunno how to explain it, but when someone things of American rap, someone with a peach fuzz head just pops up

I don't like that image

[Guest ladiixxpreciious]

i'm not a big fan of american hip hop and rap in general these days because the lyrics mainly evolve around sex, money, drugs etc. i think asian rap has a lot more meaning compared to all the cuss words that the american rappers are spitting out. asian rap [that i have heard so far, so i'm not saying ALL asian rap is like this] usually talks about love, and not getting into someone's pants [like american rap does] but TOO much asian rap does bug my ears... so little parts of it in songs is good

[Guest .:precious:.]

i dont think this should even be discussed

asian rap is richard simmons

agreed!

[Guest supereggytoast]

^ Me too.

I just don't take Asian rap seriously.

[RiderKamen]

same mini cooper, different toilets.

[Guest mr. lovely]

Well, that depends on if we're talking about mainstream American rap or underground.

Mainstream = Women

Underground = Important things

[Guest Justalilodreamer]

some asian raps are corny as hell...especially when they rap in english (i listen to asian rap so im not hatin)

american rap is always the same mini cooper ...its like theres nothing more to life than sex money and drugs wtf ?

They need something more like Epik High's Lesson 1
