He’s carrying so much pain from his mom not being there. And then when you talk to her you see she’s in just as much pain from losing her husband. Thank God for the grandparents.
I don't care what yall say...this dude's flow is from his heart...from his struggle...thats what makes real music. When the beat is playing and he's expressing his self and his life through his music, nothing else matters. (especially not those people who think he isn't "hood" enough)

This nigga was just talkin about how his father died and how his mother wasnt even there. how she was off doin drugs. How some of the ppl he was wit stabbin ppl. His friend was talkin about how his father was a Meth addict. Same struggles niggaz live wit in the hood. So dont knock it cuz it looks "nice". Japan actually cares so they try to keep things nice.

Which Koreans came afterwards. So in short: Koreans will get their proper shine eventually.

foreigners shouldn't judge J-rap based on this video. hip hop culture and music have been around since the 80s, and the golden age has just ended. Hip hop is entering a new phase in Japan, where artists have more freedom to express their lives free of taboo, meaning they are beginning to open up about crime, serious social issues, drugs and gang problems. While gangsta rap is big in the states, it has a growing element in Japan as many artists are actually living similar lives being in connection to local gangs, or being the offspring of gang members. While J-rap got its fundamentals from America many years ago, it has taken a life of its own. The significance of this video shows that hip hop is becoming mainstream in Japan as well, the artist they are showcasing, "KOHH" doesn't necessarily have the musical qualifications a rapper may desire, but has the experience and troubled life one would, and is able to express through rap. Dutch Montana, you'd have to be dumb to think he's taking the game seriously. Have a look at Lil B. If you take that nigga seriously and are unable to appreciate him for his satirical position on hip hop, then you don't deserve to listen to the genre. Japanese rappers are no different from any other fool. tldr; J-rap has its Biggie Smalls' and it also has its Will Smiths. RIP Tokona X & Nujabes

I don't understand what "Taking the game seriously" is supposed to mean. What they perceive in Japan as "taking the game seriously" is a lot different than what Americans perceive. They rap, they have fun, and they talk about things in their life, is that any different than American rappers? Tell me what Dutch Montana raps about that mainstream Americans aren't rapping about that makes him "not take the game seriously." Last I checked, 99% of American rappers just talk about weed and hoes. Besides, Hip-Hop culture is small in Japan, always has been, K Dub Shine isn't some multi millionaire rapper with millions of fans, and he's out of your so called "Golden Age." Why do you think it was significant that Samurai Champloo had a Hip-Hop focus? Because it's not common. So let these dudes have fun and bring the genre to more mainstream success. Also, free my homie Dutch Montana.

Why are there so many comments about how he doesn't have it bad just because their projects look nice or that they're copying black people? Firstly, it's not a contest. You shouldn't brag about who had it worse. If anything, you should be able to empathize and know that no matter where you are in the world, there is struggle everywhere. It can look nice enough on the outside and still have people on the inside who have problems. Secondly, music isn't restricted to just one demographic. Music is art. That's something universal. We should want others to take something that's commonly a part of us and make something themselves so we'll have more innovation. More importantly, music is supposed to be something that transcends race, language, and cultures. It's not something to be kept with one and not given to the other. Music is here to teach us, to guide us, to uplift us. I guess I can understand the xenophobia a little, but the world is much bigger than what y'all are making it.

I’m watching this again in 2022. Things have been changed a lot. This video has already become a nostalgic recording of Kohh and his homies.
1) I'm not hating on these guys. I don't see the problem with people embracing another culture if they're really about it. And they don't seem to be guys who are going around ruining other peoples lives. They have their own struggles and are finding an outlet and a culture that is helping them find a purpose and get through their lives. Plus, everyone from around the world ESPECIALLY in the Americas and western Europe are HUGE into Japanese culture. As an America from the ghetto of NYC, I'm super into Japanese culture. Yes, it was through anime but its helped me get much deeper into Japanese culture. 2) Those are probably the NICEST projects I've seen anywhere in the world. SIGN ME UP. It really looks quite tranquil and very nice for projects. 3) I have respect for Lil'Kohs mother. She takes accountability for her short comings and she seems to not be upset with her son or be in denial of where she has messed up. 4) I'm surprised Lil'Kohh stated that hip-hop isn't big in Japan. I usually hear its pretty popular and a lot of Japanese people definitely seem to be into it. I remember reading a few times that it's usually it has one of the biggest followings after Germany and France. This was a while ago so things could have definitely changed.
