Asian Hip-Hop & R&B

[Linalin]

I listen to both, but to be honest, I like Korean Hip-Hop so much more.

Korea's is more to the true style whereas a lot of Japan's has a lot of Jpop influences. I'm not saying J-Urban is bad. I do enjoy it and my favorite thing about it is how many female Japanese MC's there are (Miss Monday, the girls from Soulhead, Heartsdales, BENNIE K, AI, and a few others).

If you haven't heard any Korean Hip-Hop check out these artists

Drunken Tiger
Jinusean
Se7en
Taebin
YG Family


Unfortunately...I like Japanese R&B more than Korean. Some people think they're the same, but there is a line.

Japanese R&B artists to check out

Chemistry
Crystal Kay
Hikaru Utada
Ken Hirai
Namie Amuro
Soulhead
Sowelu
The Gospellers

Overall, Korea gets my vote.

I don't really like the genre, but Japanese isn't that bad.
