@TheEvanCat Heh, I dunno Kayne seems slightly delusional at the very least...Like I'm sure someone like macklemore might be someone I could stomach meeting in real life. But eh. But Kayne does have ONE instrumental I like as long as he isn't rapping over it. :P

Bio
My Very Brief Bio
Male, 33 years old. (I'm even more dead than before.)
Likes (other than writing and roleplaying): I'm into all genres of music. I love to cook. I love the outdoors, and walking through the park near my house. (Yes, really.) I read a lot of thriller/mystery novels. And I usually watch seasonal anime. (Or cooking shows. Because Western Media provides even fewer things that are worth watching.)
But as for my many other neglected hobbies, I've played basically every sport. (Soccer and Bowling being my favorite of the bunch.) And I'm trying to play more video games. (Going through my never-ending Steam library.) Plus, I've dabbled in making electronic & metal music, and I used to play a number of instruments. (Guitar, French Horn, etc.)
My 1X1 Interest Check: SleepingSilence's Tavern (Want 1x1 RP's? Please come in.)
Hope you have a wonderful day!

<Snipped quote by SleepingSilence>
While I agree that flow and lyrics are an integral part of rap music in any language, not being a speaker of Japanese just means that I listen more to the beats of any given J-Rap song. Reading translated J-Rap lyrics (or really any J-pop song) would just be weird because reading out the translations in English wouldn't help a non speaker understand the flow or rhymes or anything of the sort.
That said, Dekishi has great flow and frequently collabs.
For the first link, I do really wish I was able to understand that/or had a general idea of what they were saying because I probably would of liked it a whole lot more. Though I enjoyed it overall. It's also funny that I've probably found some better rappers on soundcloud than what you'd find in the mainstream. For the second, I just hope and pray that somewhere that is someone's real album cover.
There's also artists like Dabo, DJ Ken Kaneko, SALU, SKY-HI and COLEMAN OUTDOOR RESORT MOVIE.
Even if you're not a fan of lyrics there are artists in the J-Rap world that still put out some great beats that sound good no matter if you understand it or not!
SKY-HI <-- Enjoyed this one. And yeah, I'm usually the same for things like J-Rock. Or when I listen to half the metal I do, which doesn't speak the same language, Sabaton, ELUVEITIE, Korpikanni. Things of that nature. Maybe its because I prefer rock/metal instruments. So those alone can make the song interesting for me, I've never exactly been a fan of ambient and chill rap music, even in English. Rap is usually best when it pulse pounding and fast as hell. For me.
Well if it's weird you're after might I also suggest Wednesday Campanella or even DOTAMA
Eh, first one isn't so weird. I find the music video more unique than anything. When I think of glorious Japan weridness this is what comes to mind.
Second one almost had me. There's been plenty of songs you posted that I'd understand the appeal of. But I really do think the language barrier is stopping a lot of them for me. Eh, Everyone's a critic. xP
Also I really like Charisma.com because Gonchi and Itsuka are just office ladies with things to say about Japan. They're also kinda weird awesome and embrace the low effort production value. For example their most recent music video? It's just them walking around Japan with a selfie stick and an iPad playing the song so they can know their cues. But what makes it even weirder is that they have Not one, not two, but three different versions of the same concept. And then just because they're like that, they also put up a fourth version
Charisma.com is great
LOL. Well I liked that song too. Maybe not enough to listen to it 5 times in a row. That's is a little overkill. XP
Also I know it's about J-Rap but dammit I'm using this chance to plug the hell out of K-Rap artist Cheetah.
Cheetah is damn amazing. Just the best and everyone knows it. Even on guest track she kills it. She can sing too because she's perfect in every way. She is the queen. She is your mother. Bow down.
Don't worry I posted something non related too. :P

But if I bitch about something, related to Rap music and in general.
Fuck my random migraines and burning my hands the very same day.
Is how rap artists create their albums, drive me nuts. Here's how it works as a broad generalization. Rock albums with have 10-12 songs on them. 2-3 of those said songs will be filler to bulk up the album, usually smart artists won't put them one after another. I swear some people but the worst songs first or last. And that itself is a rant for another day.
But rap albums, tend to have 14-20 songs on them. But ALL additional songs are filler. Now, the point for this is to throw everything at you at once, so something sticks. But it makes albums as a whole much weaker as a result, if it's not just stupid as hell sketches. (and god I hate those.) I listened recently to a rap album that had 14 songs on them, was liking how cohesive in theme it was, then bam! waited until the very end two of the worst songs. Right beside each other. Killing it. >.< Basically, rap albums need better editors, less IS more most of the time. :/

I've looked through the posts in the IC, I just wanted some extra information.
Exactly, where is everyone? Location wise. :3 (I think I'm going for, I'm going to try to find the guild hall because I'm looking to join to make some money to take care of myself.) Thought it be smarter to ask first. xP

Name: Genesis Kobayashi
Age: 18
Power: Beast Taming - can establish an organic, empathetic, and psychic link with a creature which allows her to develop a mental link with with a creature, able to speak with creature telepathically. Mind controlling even far powerful creatures and able to mount or use creatures for fights or other purposes. The animals may see the tamer as their alpha. However is still training, so her powers have some limitations, mostly related to length.
Appearance:
(The girl)
Personality: She is certainly bizarre to anyone that crosses her path, she is extremely strange, hyperactive and has some mannerisms of a dog but only sometimes. Not extremely trusting of others, but also not immediately antisocial. Often getting curious about anyone she happens to run into. Doesn't really have a sense of humor, not understanding jokes as they usually went over her head. She isn't afraid of anyone, mostly because she is deeply trusting and caring for her brother. She doesn't like being touched. She is peaceful and tends to avoid direct conflict.
Color and location of symbol: Black center of her back.
Bio: Genesis lived in a most peculiar deeply connected village of several hundred people that was peaceful and prosperous and quite lively, a place where nobody was reprehensible and everyone had a smile on their faces, it was even nicknamed “The smiling village” by the few that would travel there. Which they fully accepted outsiders, though kept cautious regardless. Their only problem was everyone didn't really like one particular family in their village, unfortunately it was Genesis's family, rumored to be raised by wolves, than adopted by two eccentric grandparents considering all her mannerism's liking growling at people and scratching her ear with her foot, or the fact that she had wolf wars and a tail, that no one could exactly tell if they were actually real. She in fact doesn't know most of her past as it just draws a blank in her mind, but that didn't stop her from trying to living a normal life for most her life, helping her parents out with farm work, finding immediate connections with the farm animals learning she could control them, and even protect them from creature trying to hunt them for prey, she slept on the roof instead of her bed almost every night unless specifically instructed otherwise, so she could watch the stars, and she loved the pale glowing of the moon. Starting to express interesting in magic, and secretly practicing beast taming through her adventures in the forest the villages didn't dare to enter, seeing it as a territory boundary that as long as it wasn't crossed, the villagers was safe.
However, everything changed where she decided she was a burden on her parents, feeling as if she never belonged there. Escaping the prison that she had been put in for the night because of disobeying the strict orders never to enter the forest again. Becoming a runaway, after the village had chastised the parents plenty of times that they were considering banishing the trouble maker. After being worried that her constant trips inside the forest and back would encourage monsters to attack their village. Which after getting as far away as she could from anyone else, without saying goodbye. She suddenly had to learn to survive completely on her own. She suddenly found herself in a dangerous situation, when camping out, one night full moon when there was a harsh storm blowing. Without warning, Surrounded by malicious creatures and her power wasn't enough to keep them from approached closer inch by inch, thinking she would die that night. Closing her eyes fearfully expecting the worst, only to open them as see a large black wolf that eliminated every single creature, blood and gore covered the area as it was covered in several fresh battle scars, approaching her and telepathically asking if she was alright. And from that fateful day onward, she wasn't alone anymore. After several others adventures bonding quickly with her brother, at least that's what she thought of him and how Fenrir, which what was Genesis named him figuring him remaining nameless would make it had to address him in future. As they traveled together from that point onward...
Name: Fenrir
Age: ???
Power: Supernatural Strength and Speed
Appearance: Same pic as above. (The Wolf)
Personality: Protective of her, and seemingly very obsessed with her keeping a close eye on her at all times, and never going too far away from her. He is extremely cautious toward any strangers and is aggressive to those he finds as threats, extremely loyal and obedient to only her words. He is not afraid to become violent and will mercilessly kill anything that he sees harming her. He usually is calm, if not completely unconcerned about his surroundings, not interesting in making friends. However is very talkative and not afraid to express his two cents. Speaking to her often through telepathy.

Relationships...*sigh*
Maybe its just because most people I know are weird, or I lived in mostly ghetto areas. But the most important thing I've seen, is just how desperate you are and behave...(confidence is equal to inflated egos right?) >.>
A person can never be fucking complimented with praise enough. Shit, when you have to keep saying something doesn't it just lose it's meaning and become hollow at that point? I digress.

@Wade Wilson (Frankly that's stupidly accurate. *Smh at people selling old games for ridiculously prices on ebay.* >.>)
Wish granted, but to add further confusion the night has become 30 seconds, making it day almost 24/7. Which completely screws up the earth and its inhabitants incredibly.
I wish I could cure myself and give my migraines to other people that annoy me with no negative effect to my health.

@ClocktowerEchos I don't find that too bizarre honestly, now the anime was good and unique enough, but making an rp of it. I think it would just becoming a post-apocalyptic zombie rp. That's been done plenty of times, everyone likes zombies Even if you made it so the only survivors were kids, possibly solely young girls and tried pushing the limit. I don't think it would take long to get people interested.
