Nujabes

today i would like to introduce you Nujabes
one of my favorite hip hop artist

when people think of the word hip hop
most people think about 50 Cent, 2Pac, gangs, gangsters rapping about sex, money, drugs, guns, and killing
hip hop is bad
but there are good hip hop too

in korea (i can speak Korean) the radio stations doesnt like to play songs about controversial or sensitive issues
when songs are not played on air
its does not receive enough publicity to sell albums
so artists, especially hip hop artists, dont focus on gang life and such

i am sure its same or similar for other asian countries but i am not sure

well back to Nujabes
he is a japanese american DJ/MC
he is well known for composing a lot of music on the original sound track of a popular 2004 anime "Samurai Champloo"
his songs are more poetic than other rap songs
he has a lot of instrumental music with his own style
he mixes different genre of music like jazz and soul with some kind of beat at the background
his music is very soothing
easy listening
but its labeled as hip hop

so if you are looking for new genre of music
check out Nujabes
i have been getting positive review about Aurarian Dance from people i recommended Nujabes to
so anyways check him out
