Hi this is my first post on got woot forums but i been with this site for awhile .I'm a big fan of this site and love all the great anime on here.I felt that I needed to post on this thread because I grew up with hip-hop and a very big fan of it.First off its not fair to put all hip-hop genre into 1 form calling all of it "gangsta rap " or saying hip-hop when your talking about a pacfic genre.Just like rock hip-hop has many forms,you have east coast rap (think jay-z or nas),dirty south(lil jon),mid west(nelly,kayne west),west coast rap(2pac,dr dre)then from those you have these: street-hop(break dancing, rap battles),
gangsta rap(talking about gangs and guns),underground hip-hop(rapping about life and real world problem without cursing)pop-rap(this crap like gangsta rap really makes hip-hop look bad talking about money and ho's.you know the stuff mtv shows).Now this is just in america many countires have there own form (japan has j-rap which is sort of 80s like style of hip-hop,puerto rico has a form of hip-hop called reggeton which is spanish rap mix with reggae)I could keep going but the list is really long you get the point I hope.
So sterotyping is not fair because not all rap genre are the same.Also sterotyping people that listen to it is also not fair .Im a dark skin hispanic and i dont dress and talk like the rappers you see on mtv and im not a thug or a wannabe gangsta im just a guy that lives in brooklyn and likes anime and final fantasy games ,I also box and right poetry on my spare time(when im not working or with my girlfriend).And although im a big hip-hop fan i am very open minded and also listen to different types of rock (except for gothic not a big fan but i dont dislike anyone that does).So before you judge people or music do what I do and listen to the different types of that music get an understanding for it you might just see things different.Also dont buy into what MTV thinkswhats rock or rap judge it for yourself by listening to under ground artist that try so hard to get notice but cant because tv stations like MTV and BET think there music isnt cool.
With that said heres my hip-hop version of some of the music the cast of naruto would listen to :
Naruto - he is kinda dorky and has alot of energy ,I see him into j-hip-hop
Sasuke-hes a deep thinker and knows the problem around him,I see him into underground/oringal hip-hop just seems like he would enjoy itand understand it.
Sakura -She is kinda hard but I would have to say rap-pop(i can see her liking shady and nelly for some reason)
Jaraiya- Old school 80's hip-hop all the way plus and pop-rap that talks about women [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Gai- old school hip-hop plus street hop (come on you know you can picture Gai trying to break dance)
Hanata Kakashi- he would be fan of j-rap
well that what i think good day [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Edit: sorry if its to long but i had alot to say after reading every post.
