I've never been into rap (no matter what country it's from), but RIP SLYME seems to be a very popular rapper. You might wanna check out him.

I've also heard good things about ZEEBRA, though I've never heard them either...

If you're into the rap-rock type stuff like Limp Bizkit, then try Dragon Ash, since they're basically the same.

And if you dig female rap try Heartsdales.

ZEEBRA is one guy I believe. I can't remember. But I think he is.

Dragon Ash is probably the most popular rap group in Japan. They are like Run DMC to Japan. Though, they do use alot of rock sounds (ie guitar) it's too heavy now to notice it over the fast rapping and heavy bass beats by DJ whats-his-face. "I Love Hip-Hop" was an insanely funny video though.

I dont know about this stuff really, but I bet its just as funny as the arab rap out there.

side note: one day I saw a show about afghanistan, and in it they showed an afghans collection of music.

It had hundreds of tapes, all in black boxes, except one.

in the mitst of hundreds of other tapes there was one in white with black writing...

Micheal Jackson... damn they have good taste! just kidding.

sorry but I just had to bust that out.

I just think its funny to hear foreign rap.

Hell, to me its funny to hear domestic rap... I think it all sucks.

Mad Capsule Markets are an AMAZING japanese rap/rock band! One of MCM's song featured on the Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 soundtrack. They are a very good band, and there is also an awesome video for one of there songs. I would say that they are the best thing music wise to ever escape Japan!
