What the ? are you talking about

ppl who speak the language like it?

It broadens the cultures reach.

I'm personally not trying to listen to a nigguh rap in a language that I don't understand, but to those who speak/understand the language..I don't see the problem. Hip hop is global b. I guarantee there's a muffugguh in Japan right now reciting Wu-Tang lyrics and he don't understand a damn thing Raekwon said.

Closest thing I can listen to is British rappers. I remember DipSet had them British ? .
I can't really think of any great foreign rappers. David Dallas is dope but he speaks English.
I guess ? gets lost translation. -

SMH. And people wonder why hip hop is dying. People want to cut off fans just because they can't understand the language.

Cuz Hip hop was created in america and in this country we speak english.Keep that incoherent jibba jabber in the congo or the french guiana and people of your ilk can bump that trash. -
Hip Hop is as much about rhythm as it is about rapping. That foreign ? be sounding off. They don't even sound like they matching syllables. ? be all over the place like they don't have enough words to play with. That why it's good having multiple words that sound similar or even the same but mean different things in different context. Unless it hawaiin.

English rappers just sound feminine or like they trying too hard so it's not just about language.

I think it brings diversity in to the genre and while I prefer English in one form or another; I keep an ear and mind open when hearing a tune I like. For example I mess with some Spanish and Portuguese mc's and some Japanese producers. Also I like supporting music across the Afro-diaspora.
