you've got a point there. i never really listen to american rap anymore, cuz i just don't see any point of it. i hardly listen to j-hip hop either. well, if heartsdales or Foxxi misQ count, but other than that, i just listen to jpop. but i think j-hip hop is much better. yea, i dunno japanese, but i know english and i don't really like what the american rappers are rapping nowadays.

anyway, is it imitation or art? i always used to think any japanese music was kinda influenced by america, but jpop or anything japanese music related sounds different than american music. it's kinda like the same beats, but different.

my two sense. who knows if i'm right or wrong
