Videos / News Video: Japanese rappers rip N.C. producer's beat
Posted By Mike McCray on Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 4:25 PM
I know, I know. My Ski Beatz love fest continues but this time the legendary N.C. producer went to the Far East to let some Japanese rappers take a stab his "24 Bars To Kill" beat.
With the release of the Japanese version of his album, 24 Hour Karate School: Japan, he enlisted Japanese emcees Anarchy, Rino Latina II, MC Kan and Maccho.
What did I learn from watching minutes of indecipherable hip-hop in a foreign language? I guess there's no Japanese word for "New York," "nigga" or "motherfucker" and you'll find yourself trying to find American comparisons to each one's rap style.
Dope visuals as usual from the crew at Creative Control. Damn, I wish I spoke Japanese.
