Hip-Hop Artists?
 

Can you guys possibly list some awesome Japanese Hip-Hop artists? Anyone but Namie :laugh I love her already. I can't seem to track down any. :shrug
And I love Japanese Hip-hop :D

Thanks in advance guys! :love

koda kumi?

^Hehe, I love her too! :laugh But thanks Sora :D

i think crystal kay's also a hip-hop jpop singer

I'd link you to my favorite song, but I can't right now =__=

m-flo, DJ Taku Takahashi + emcee VERBAL, Lisa used to be in the group as well. They're my favorite, and they did a song with Namie and Kumi too! ^^

Rip Slyme Ryo-Z, Ilmari, Pes, Su & Fumiya. They resemble Beastie Boys a bit, like old school hip-hop.

HALCALI Haruka and Yukari. They have fun songs with a twist, you should listen to TANDEM and Giri Giri Surf Rider, first.

GReeeeN Hide, Navi, 92 & Soh. They kind of J-pop, but still great! Aa, Domo. Hajimemashite. is their first album. My favorites on that album are: PARIPIPO and Ai Uta They also wrote the song weeeek for the boy band, NEWS. And you never see their faces btw...

Ketsumeishi Ryo, Ryoji, Ohkura, DJ Kouno. J-pop with some rap. Sakura is really good *thumbs up*

Kick the Can Crew KREVA, MCU & Little. I don't know much about them, but I see them on TV sometimes. MCU has a song with Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Seaside Bye Bye, worth listening to!

Heartsdales Rum and Jewels, maybe you should start with their best album, to have a taste of their whole career. They lived in NYC for a while, so their English is good. They are now broken up.

SOULHEAD Yoshika and Tsugumi. They sang with Koda Kumi for D.D.D. and XXX. Oh my sister is one of my favorite songs. You should try that one, both of the collabs with Kumi and the album Naked.

nobodyknows+ Don't know their names... Hip Hop, Jazz, Funk, Dance and Pop. Kokoro Odoru is their most popular song, it was on a few NDS games. Recently, they sang the opening for a Naruto series called, Hero's Come Back!!

That's a long list.. Hope you will enjoy these artists ^^

m-flo i recommend cosmicolor (album)

and i like AI too
and BoA's not too bad

O.O! I'll give a try to all of them~! :laugh
Hehe, thanks guys! I appreciate it.

(Small off Topic)
Oh, and Sora, I replied to the Kingdom Hearts thread. I tried my best to give you something of a small strategy that helped me out :D

I recommend Miliyah Kato!
She's really good! And maybe you gonna like it!
Try her new singles like LA LA LA, Love is..., My Girl, etc.

AI (Teh Queen of Hip Hop in Japan!!)
Emi Hinouchi (more RnB-Pop)
DOUBLE (RnB Queen)
Foxxi misQ (Japanese Destiny's Child)
SOULHEAD (Fantastic songs, recommend their Best of and NAKED album)
Heartsdales (Great Light hearted party songs, became very Hip-Pop after Radioactive)
LISA from m-flo (Hit or miss IMO, try her best of album and GOD SISTA album, great songs and great vocals)
m-flo (loves era, great hip-pop songs, great duo)

got it ;D thanks!

You bet I will~!
x.x; I'll be going down in downloads and listens ALL night! :laugh

@Kobayashiwoof ~ Will do! :D

Will.....Japanese Hip-hop is okay but it's nothing compared to Korean Hip-hop! I luv Korean Hip-hop!

I recommend you Epik High! THEY ARE AWESOME! I have maaaaaaaany songs of them. This group won't disappoint you. I luv them....so please try them out, AyUta! Trust Me! Try their song Fan out first and then Fly. Those are their signature songs. I luv those to songs a lot!

I recommend you Zeebra too. He is Japanese. I like his songs! He won't disappoint you either.

:o I wanted to try Korean Hip-Hip~! :yes I thought it sounded awesome~!
I gave Uhm Jung Hwa a try but I only liked one song from her :laugh
And that was 'Come 2 Me'. Ever heard of her? :D

Epik High I will definitely try~! If you say they're that good, why not? :laugh

Hm, I heard of Zeebra :shakehead! Must...try... XD

hiphop : only i know koda kumi and namie amuro..
namie amuro, perfect :D

So AyUta, did you listen Hip Hop all night?
LOL
And Miliyah Kato, you like her?

Miliyah Kato? I thought see did rock music.....I must got her mixed up with someone else. O_O

@AyUta: Uhm Jung Hwa? I thought that was a man! Now, I know I got her name mixed up with another person. Yea, I heard of her.....Epik High was featured on one of her songs...I believe not for sure. I'll try her out too.

Oh, here's a list of Epik High songs I recommend:

Fly
Fan
Let It Rain
Love Love Love
Get High - They are actually talking about getting high! :laugh
Paris
Flow - I LUV THIS SONG! Tablo was wildin' out on this song!
High School
Lesson One (Tablo's Word)
Follow the Flow
Day of Peace
Music
Mr. Doctor
Even Alone (with Clazziquai)
Let It Be (with SG Wannabe)
You Are Not Alone (with SG Wannabe) - I like it! It's a very good cover of Micheal Jackson's version
Algo Boni (feat. Jinbo) It's a really nice hip-hop ballad!

I haven't seen EMYLI mentioned yet. She has a great voice, writes & composes most(if not all) of her music, but her earlier stuff is pretty hard to find.
ARIA is another one, I'm not too big one her, but maybe you'd like her.
MINMI - A GREAT reggae/hip-hop artist. You should check her out.

Did you ever hear any of Namie's 'Suite Chic' stuff? If not, that's pretty good as well.

:laugh
Last night was really busy for me~! I was so tired afterwards x.x; But it was all worth it because I liked a lot of the artists all of you guys reccommended me. Especially Epik High~! Thanks Luv! :D

As for Miliyah, I loved her~! She has some awesome songs :yes
I'm currently searching for her first album. But I did find her second.

EMYLI? Hm, never heard of her before, but that's a definite try~! :D Thanks!
As for the others, they are next in line! :yes

Here's to another night full of searching and listening! :laugh

May J.
MISIA
Jamosa
NaNa
Full of Harmony
HI-D
Kreva
Seamo
SATOMI'
Hime
Brier
Maria
Norisiam-X

The last 4 are female rappers.

:D :D
Thanks~! Oh! And I seen your threads with Miliyah downloads. I got Diamond Princess from you :yes It's a very good album.

Glad you liked it. Miliyah is awesome^^

:D She sure is~! I have yet to listen to her first album though. I'm downloading it now. What is your fav upbeat song from her?

I love "eyes on you" and "Sotsugyou". Both of her albums are very memorable. If you haven't yet DL her latest single "LALALA/Futurechecker". It's really good.

:shakehead I'll download right now~! :laugh From what I heard from a preview, I thought it sounded cool. I'm just going to wait on that until after I listen to Rose. :D

But thank you~! I appreciate it. Time for a good night's sleep :headache
G`night! :yes

Goodnight. Don't let the bed bugs bite^^

Where's the ARIA love?! Try her out! She doesn't disappoint!

Also try twenty4-7. They're a new group that's rather Heartsdales-esque but have great songs.

Uhm Jung is my favorite Korean singer. :laugh She does disco-esque music though...

i'd say misia's more gospelly music =\

someone already said RIP SLYME ( they are my favorite group in the word XD)

maybe you should also try Samurai troops, Teriyaki Boyz, Kazumi ( maybe this is a little hard to find)

but i would highly recommend WISE

i have all of his PV's on my channel in Youtube

http://www.youtube.com/mishidabo

:roflmao

There are R&B gospel singers...even rap gospel artists. :yes

but they're not hip-hop...




what's the difference between R*B and hip-hop? :irked

I'll give them ALL a try guys :laugh :love

:laugh I just love AHS people :laugh :yes

I loved 'Come 2 Me' :yes

AyUta! What songs have you heard of Epik High now? Did you like them? Do you like the songs?

LOL! I know that's too many questions but I want a Epik High fan buddy! :laugh

R&B is alot smoother,slower and soulful than Hip Hop, which is more upbeat/dance oriented.

I forgot MISIA and DOUBLE!

Hehe! I liked Fan, Fly, Follow the flow, flow!, get high :laugh, and a couple of others, but I'm still having some trouble finding their other songs. Problems such as downloading and listening :headache But the search goes on! :laugh

I ned to get to listening to ARIA :D She sounds awesome so far!

Oh, so they're new? Awesome :laugh I just love trying out new artists. They're discography is small and if I like them, I can become their fan and watch as they come out with new stuff :yes


Yeah, I noticed that about Uhm Jung. Disco-ish :D But I also think korean hip-hop sounds cool. That's what I'm intending on trying next :D

Woooooot! Welcome to the Epik High club...where it's just me and you! :lmfao

Ooooh, I wish I knew how to do that mediafire stuff but I don't. :cry I HAVE A LOT OF THEIR SONGS! Do you have limewire because if you don't you should get limewire?! Oh, wait! I'll send it to you by e-mail. Pm me and tell me you e-mail adress and I'll send you the songs! :yes

:laugh Well that's cool either way Luv! :laugh

Hm, I never found out how to do the mediafire stuffs either. I joined once and tried to upload my songs there, but it was all so confusing :headache
So I just said forget it :P

I'm not allowed to get limewire. My dad says that it's bad and it can give you a lot of viruses? :( So I have no way of getting it. But that's alright, I have good ol' AHS! XD

PM you? I just saw some people talking about PMing each other in another thread and I was like, "What's that?" XD Send you a message through here? Is that it?

Ugh, I feel STUPID! XD

And this is where we go onto Hip-Hop KOREAN artists.
:D Any fav Korean hip-hop artists?


I know you probably have some in mind, Luv :laugh

Hmmm...I've only listened to Epik High! lol But when I was looking a clip where Epik High was nonminated and won Best Hip-hop album of the year on M-Eon (something like that), I was watching who was nominated and what I heard from the nominees were good. The only name I could remember from the nominees was Epik High and this rap duo called Dynamic Duo ---or something of that sort. I come back to you on that though! XD

I've heard of them~! =D But...I could have sworn they sucked >.>
But I may be wrong :D

^:roflmao

They prolly do! I saw the clip of a PV of theirs during the nominee announcement and it was so funny. They fighting like Chinese and all that. I was like, "Ummmm...o-kaaay!" XD

^ :roflmao Wow! Dorks :innocent

if you like to listen korean hip-hip , How about YG family? They are R&B/Hip-hop group. I hope you like them.

I just looked him up on wiki.theppn. So he's a debuter eh? I'd love to give him a try then ^.^ He's handsome :laugh


EDIT: I downloaded and listened to his single and....I LOVED him. :luv2 I think he's great! I liked all three songs on his single. Plus it seems he did a good job with the single considering he's up to number 4 on the charts.
