Wow. Where to begin. I definitely prefer J-hh to American any day. Like someone else said, the Japanese version is much bouncier and fun to listen to. Plus the voices tend to differ from group to group. (Whereas in America it just sounds like...the same male African-American voice over and over) And I can see people dancing silly to the Japanese tunes, as compared to America where it feels like the only way you can dance to rap is...dirty. And don't get me started on the lyrics. I would like hip-hop in America a lot more if it wasn't the same dirty themes over and over. =\
