I know that in the Hip-Hop culture race don't matter, but real talk when I 1st herd his voice, I thought he was black. Dude can rap better than these gangsta rappers. Thumbs up and much love 2 these dude.
Sadly, at one point I used to think I hated hip-hop. Then I discovered, Nomak, Nujabes, Shing02, Emancipator, Force Of Nature, Tsutchie, Fat Jon ETC. There is so much good stuff out there, and oddly enough tons comes from Japan.
This is real hip-hop, not that garbage like half dollar or M & M lol
I think because music like this is not as well known throughout is what makes it so good and special because of its unique entirety and we should accept and enjoy the fact that such beautiful real music is known by few...i guess its the rarity that makes it feel so much better. the appreciation is more gratifying.
i've been listening to shing02/nujabes for years and i've only just heard this song. i'm blown away, i cannot believe i've overlooked this for so long.
yo... it's amazing how his first language isn't even english yet his flow is Dumb and what he raps about will be deeper than anything any american(ized) rapper could ever even dream about spittin. shing02... i just wanna have a conversation with this dude, damn
all i've been listening to is j cole, nujabes and shing 02.. funny i see talk of j cole on shing02 shit. all good hip hop. anyone here has probably heard everything nujabes has done but if you haven't you should quickkkly
Cause nobody thinks Asians can rap. And i'm willing to bet my life that if they play these on any major radio-stations this would get way better views that any Lil Wayne or whoever.
Aww, daaaang... this lad rocks tha boat that was platformed for primo American and best known international rappers/ Hip Hop smoothers. Shingo2 's totally in the killzone. Intelligent and so flow maximum!
so I am supposed to place a nice firm pat on the back on those who act or say something inappropriate? so you want me to make best friends with people who would would rather ditch school and smoke for the rest of their lives than further their own race? I 'stereotype against my own race' because they NEED to hear it from one of their own. not to be encouraged to act like delinquents that disobey their fathers, and swear at their own teachers. please refrain from saying anything else stupid.
MIDI is the thing that producers use to input their music. it is basically the equipment that connects an instrument to a computer, like an electric guitar, or a keyboard.
Shing02 is completely cutting edge. It's amazing & wonderful how so many Japanese artists & producers have their fingers deep in the pulse of TRUE hip-hop, soul & jazz music. I never would've thought 10-15 years ago that some of the best hip-hop I'd ever hear would come from Japan.
@martirino Shing's kinda weird scenario, he was born in japan, but grew up all over the place. he is like a rapper of the world. :) maybe thats why he is so piercing
Don't download his music on his site. I just got anti-virus warning when I tried to download this song from his website. So this guy is trying to ruin peoples computer with his music. :O TROJAN In his download of this song. It's confirmed!
Jay-z aint hip-hop he's a money monger he could care less about how hip hop is dying in the states good thing we got artist and i enfisize ARTIST like najubes and Shing02 i mean shit Nas cant do it alone
Damn, I've been a fan of Shing02 for the longest time and I just now noticed that too... MIDItation. I don't care if people hate or doesn't understand his hip hop philosophy, but this man is a genius...
Jay-z aint hip-hop he's a money monger he could care less about how hip hop is dying in the states good thing we got artist and i enfisize ARTIST like najubes and Shing02 i mean shit Nas cant do it alone
Cool song and keep hip-hop alive for real. Im from chicago so I like music from lupe fiasco and common but back in the day he was known common sense. Its all good though
