I think it started out as imitation. But I think nowadays, people are taking it more seriously. It's not the most profitable genre in Japan, so I don't believe J-Hip Hop artists are exploiting. Except those pathetic boybands who add in a couple of verses to add in "street credibility". I freakin hate that! Prefer American hip hop by a long shot, though. And Korean hip hop. And British Hip Hop. Okay, I'll stop now. ^_^
