WTF A Japanese Rap Gone Wrong

[GotRiceNeedChopstick]

this guy is an enka singer not a rapper

[rawrbucket123]

To be honest I don't see anything wrong with this vid, I just wanna know whats going on in the back at 0:20-0:22 xD

[915nabi]

It was Jero and his grandmother's (who is japanese) dream that he would become an enka singer someday. His grandmother died, never seeing him fulfill their dream, so that's why he sings enka... for himself and for his grandmother. For the haters out there... geezz if you only knew what japanese people know about this guy. Im sure your comments wouldn't be so negative towards him. It's nice to see people fulfill their dreams and live their lives dedicated to people they love and remember.

[XxUntouchablexX777]

nigga plz lol

[PikiruMuzu]

raciest person who put this up

[astroboirap]

rename the video to; WTF is this nigger doing

[kakotaco12]

wtf? hes not even rapping. stop judging by the way he look

[donluchitti]

ever wondered what 'laid' looks like in Japan?

[SuperNostalgic]

This video has a lot of dislikes because people were expecting a rap. Person who uploaded this was obviously trolling for a shitstorm.

This is a very nice song.

[jimmyleg5]

I don't get it- what's funny?

[KawaiiYaLie]

Playing in traffic is fun, you should try it~

[grillopelu73]

Dumbass, that's Jero, and he's NOT a rapper but an Enka singer.

[BLUEEYESBLACKCAT]

he has a nice voice.

[DarkDesertRose]

This is Jero and he is an Enka singer >_>

[alzappa1]

>.>

wth da title just SCUM 

[TheInsomniacLife]

This is Enka not rap and where and how did he fail??? He's really good but of course you wouldn't know that unless you spoke the language

[JonoSprings]

#style

[FoamKittyGamer]

How is this gone wrong? He's incredible! :D

[NiHaoWoJiaoYang]

Yeah, only if they sing like that in the states. lol

[Hamptoncltn]

@NiHaoWoJiaoYang Not every black person sings rap in the states. Unless I'm missing something :/

[decode4841]

O_o ...........................

[Jyihomichiru]

racist poster lol just because he's part black he "HAS" to be rapping? He's singing perfectly well in japanese. FAIL poster FAIL

[kalavinka1]

he's not rapping, he's singing in japanese and getting it right

[KawaiKano]

uh... he's not tryinq' to rap -___- u don't even knoe wat he's doinq' cuz u ain' japanese

[SunFlightx]

this is singing, i don't see any rap anywhere.

[NintendoBengan]

this is Enka, not rap

[kdc43]

jap rap crap......hey I rhyme!!!

[ow7ful]

He never attempted to rap. You just assumed he was going to rap by the way he dresses. Jero is 1/4 Japanese (maternal grandmother), he is singing traditional japanese. The person who put this video up needs to do some research

[FoamKittyGamer]

@ow7ful I think the channel owner is racist... :\

[AntiChristAntiFail]

@ow7ful Seriously. Anyone who knows much of anything about Japan can see their pretty much experiencing every cultural wave that ever hit America all at once. It is not uncommon to see such outfits worn on people who simply want the look, but do something utterly unrelated. Outfit does not need to match western stereo-types, as becomes obvious in the so so so so so so so so great Traditional Japanese instrument/language version of Smoke on the water. Speaking of which...

[PeircedinBlood]

Did I just see a black person sing in Japanese? xD

[killkilllaugh2]

@PeircedinBlood Yeah, ya did. and he was awesome



[killkilllaugh2]

@PeircedinBlood Yeah, ya did. and he was awesome

[CactuarTheCritic]

He's singing, not rapping you know? Just because he's black right?

[1iLLnoize1]

@CactuarTheCritic this is the most retarded comment in this thread

[CatalinD88]

@Nekrotronika lol in Romania, in 2002 99% of the gipsy living here all called themselves TIGANI (gipsy), not some "roma/romani' bullshit, it took 3 years of heavy indoctrination to make them accept that name :)) and even now in 2011 in Romania more than 30% of the gipsy refuse to call themselves roma/romani because they know it creates only conflicts with italians and romanians and still call themseves gipsy ! Are u a gipsy or a jew ?

[CatalinD88]

@Nekrotronika LOL you are stupid, im neither one of those things, but think what you like. I don't know where you read that CRAP, probably wikipedia, but the GIPSY are from India, the name Roma/Romani was invented for them by a romanian JEW Petre Roman and EU officials, to fool people into thinking they are ROMANIANS, the name gipsy itself is not theirs also, they took it when they came in France and Germany to fool them that they are egiptian refugees, gipsy are not romanians, they are criminal

[CatalinD88]

@Nekrotronika neo-nazi ? why do you call me that ? Are you sick ? Paranoid ? You see nazis everywhere ? DId they rape your mom ? Shot her in the head ? Did they exterminate some filth in your family ? Roma ?!?! What the fuck is a Roma ? You mean gipsy ? Roma is bullshit name invented by some retards in EU and Romania

[katchrisg]

was it a rap because he is black?



[Appleycore]

@katchrisg HAHAHA I guess so! Cause that was not rapping. O.o

[wocaocaoni2]

He's actully a Enka ringer...

[CatalinD88]

lol nigger in japan :)))

[MrBlases]

HAH GAAAAAAAYY!

[zubtebustas]

YOUR DOING IT WRONG

[flamesdemon19]

How is this rap?

[SKMReid]

Lmao at the dancers in the back,

[KenshinSensei]

This is pretty famous in Japan for his Enka singing.

[ryuuzaki002]

Wow. I see cosmic amount of fail on those who are saying:

"If he's singing Enka, he should've wore a kimono or something"

Oh, fuck. Seriously? Provided that he is really popular in Japan, everyone knows that he's an enka singer. The costume just adds a little more "twist" in it. Wait a minute, you're too dumb to comprehend that.

tl;dr: not wearing a Japanese costume when singing enka is not equivalent to "fail"

[bober9989]

you know why its rap?

beacause niggers cant do anything esle in their lives!

[Lioyd1rving]

@bober9989 HAR HAR RACISM IS INHERENTLY FUNNY AND CLEVER

[bober9989]

@Lioyd1rving >implying racism

go back to school.....

[Lioyd1rving]

@bober9989 >I ACT LIKE I KNO 4CHAN THEREFORE IM COOL

tip: look up "Nikki Catsouras" to see your heroes at their most LULZHILARYUS..

[bober9989]

@Lioyd1rving I dont understand you

[Lioyd1rving]

@bober9989 4chan stopped being hip in 2005.

[bober9989]

@Lioyd1rving why you talk about 4chan?

[Lioyd1rving]

@bober9989 Nigga please.

[bober9989]

@Lioyd1rving 404 Nigga not found!

[projmat12]

@bober9989 Wow really, you're such a keyboard warrior

[isaiah931]

he is still a NINGA

[UTAUxKURENAI]

Morons. This guy is Jero, and he's an ENKA SINGER. Just because he's half black and wears those clothes does NOT mean he's a rapper. Stereotyping fools.

[umimo]

The singer name is Jero. He's really good! One of the very few enka singers who catch my attention

[innerfreq]

In response to most of the comments on this thread, I love that this is about a black guy singing contemperary music in Japanese. Full props to him. Don't see why it's funny.

[LloydChristmas777]

That's not rap fool.

[rytmen]

ofcourse this is a rap, lol what else can it be, the dude is black

[XSeshedaX]

@rytmen Joking? Every other comment is talking about how it ISN'T rap.

[Gubreez]

@XSeshedaX lol he has to be joking or trolling :?

[rytmen]

@XSeshedaX ofcourse im not joking, are u?

[XSeshedaX]

@rytmen No, just read the comments. He's doing some Japanese thing, not rapping.

[Rienei]

actually the way he pronounce the words are pretty accurate

[FUSA4LIFE]

@357magtoyourface i never noticed when i was there

[Rafake123]

this is Jero

[FUSA4LIFE]

@357magtoyourface no only if they think your redneck american becase the are rude and steal things



[spontaneousong]

@357magtoyourface He's half-Japanese.

[JDahlHD]

This is indeed a rap gone wrong... Because it's NOT a rap.

[iamthetaisho]

JERO IS A BEAST!!!! how do you not know about Jero-san???? he is famous for bringing back enka with a unique twist

[Zangetsurai]

So...much...fail...

And I'm talking about the uploader and his title, not the vid

[estreet2007]

Black japanese ???????????????

[xNikkaX3]

Omg! I love this guy!

[RuffRydersBG]

omg is that a japanese nigga or i'm gonna losing my mind lol :D

[kaikauruwashii]

.....i see no fail here. you should really change the title. (-_-)

[swan152]

lots of typical stereotypical views posted to this video, maybe he is the start of a new wave of enka, and as was said all ready he is big in Japan.

ah also next time check your facts before you post silly video

[ulkbar]

you guys should read up on Jiro. He's actually hot shit in Japan. He's pretty much bringing Enka back from the dead by appealing to they younger crowd with his urban look and style.

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

For god sake if this guy is expected to sing a Enka please wear a kimono or something.

[kaikauruwashii]

@Nintendo3DSHelp

why? it's not like there's a rule. He's trying to appeal to a younger crowd. So why would he?

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

@kaikauruwashii I know how Asian's dress especially the young ones. Asians don't wear saggy jeans and clothes.

[kaikauruwashii]

@Nintendo3DSHelp

Oh really? Can you speak for every Asian person on this planet? I don't think so. Sure, you may not see many who dress like that, but there are some who do or have dressed like that at some point in their lives. I've met a couple who have.

[FUSA4LIFE]

@Nintendo3DSHelp dude dont talk bullshit just becase you watch some japanese movie you know how ppl dress

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

@FUSA4LIFE I'm sorry your a Americanized Japanese that loves saggy jeans and people who dress like bums. I rather be a fob and dress like a Asian rather than a homeless bum.

[FUSA4LIFE]

@Nintendo3DSHelp lol moron iam dutch not japanese

and japanese young ones dress like everything they want they dont care what ppl think specialy nubys like you who proboly havent bin in any asian country at all bud still claims to know better then ppl who live there are bin there i have seen the wierdist styles ever in japan (and olso wigga style) there is even an style in japan where girls put on sutch an huge amount of makeup the look like black girls with asian faces

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

@FUSA4LIFE Dude I'm fuckin' Korean. I been to South Korea (In fact every Summer I visit my family that lives there). I know how Asian dress I try to follow there fashion and not hiphop Americanized fashion. Also have you ever seen the Nintendo 3DS Japanese commercial? Go watch it and tell me does anyone in that commercial dress like this guy. BTW I just check your channel and half of the videos you uploaded are related to China are you a Chinese living in Netherlands?

[FUSA4LIFE]

@Nintendo3DSHelp this video is japanese not korean

and no iam not chinese bud dutch bud Pro chinese (btw got 100+ japanese videos bud this channel is my china channel becase capatalist youtube likes to remove my videos "they dont sencor -_-")

bud i have bin to japan and have friends living in japan they do got wannebe`s i have seen them and you got rap on tv /watch?v=7H14nuSdE8w its not populair bud its there

here for you korean rap /watch?v=F5hb_pb_heA&feature=r­elated

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

@FUSA4LIFE It doesn't take a Japanese to know Japanese culture and clothing. -.- Please stop arguing it's pointless. A dude singing a Enka with those things on is very nice to see.

[tinrac]

@Nintendo3DSHelp lol...don`t mean to flame this argument or anything, but I don`t really thing there`s only one particular Japanese clothing style. There are lotsa styles, what you imagine is japanese clothing, american "hip hop" style clothing, Thai "house" style (which i`m trying to switch to btw) and lotsa others.

Cero is just trying to bring something new and something traditional together. Reflecting his own culture so to speak. Plus he does wear yukata sometimes. But the hat stays on lol

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

@tinrac Not nice to see. Sorry error right there.

[Nintendo3DSHelp]

@FUSA4LIFE Not nice to see. Sorry made a error.

[shadows0614]

Maybe he's half japanese or...quarter japanese or...He just learned the song!

The thing is...why is he wearing urban style clothes if he's going to sing Enka, it just makes everyone think he's about to rap...

[kaikauruwashii]

@shadows0614

If I remember correctly, His grandparents are Japanese and he grew up hearing some of the songs. So no, he didn't just learn them on the spot. He's wants to appeal to a younger audience so he doesn't normally wear yukata or a kimono.

[lucasadverse]

just like pop music, soulja boy and waka flocka, nowadays everything is called rap

[utauvoice300]

I hate ignorant people like you...

It's Enka

[jackichan472]

ok so one this is not a rap and two i dont see the fail in tht video

[AleksandrsLV]

The guy who uploaded this is a moron. This is Enka music and Jero is a famous Enka singer.

[Hiphop101ize]

this is enka moron

[Donovon2001]

Jero is strengthening the bond between Japs and blacks.

I mean. We both have good humor.

We both can dance.

We both can speak really fucking fast.

We both know how to fucking cook.

And now this.

[Buziikon]

@Donovon2001 Er. Lmao.

I'm sorry, but the ability to dance, speak quickly, cook well, and the characteristic of "good humor" have absolutely nothing to do with race. At all.

[xXGhettoBlasterXx]

Lol You Think Cuz Hes Black That Hes Rapping ? Lmao

[JiggaTofu]

Lol, 50yen.

[GoOhdaMoney]

@JiggaTofu HHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahah



[estlib]

@JiggaTofu you meant 500yen? the smallest amoutn of money there is a 100 yen coin.

[JiggaTofu]

@estlib Lol, no the smallest amount of money is 1yen coin.

[mdbreese11]

@JiggaTofu omg im laughing so hard right now

[orrin4]

Not bad... not bad at all.

[Fr3Dastik]

Killer Bee :D

[jakartytatt]

Jero kicks ass, and he's part Japanese and is pretty popular...this video title is full of ignorant fail :P

[nnnnnnhhhhhhhhh]

Jero is actually pretty popular and it's impressive that he can sing enka. You should try doing a little research before posting anything.

[CommentFanatic]

geez is it so freaking rare to see a person who can speak another language that ISNT english? Are you all that freaking ignorant or what?

[PresidentChoob]

Looks like this rap...

*Puts on sunglasses*

...went wong.

YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[WillyVWilson]

OK! Jero here is a african american with a japanese grandmother. he got really interested in japanese culture so he learned japanese and went over to japan to sing the traditional japanese genre "enka"

i dont want your "why the fuck is he black/singing japanese" shit

[MikutanKyu]

Enka!!!

[11MeGusta11]

since when japanese people are black ?

[Shipoopiism]

Black man singing = rap.

[GhaadCity]

@ all the ignorant fucks who say "duhh why is this black guy speaking japanese" this guy is clearly mixed between black and japanese he def looks asian. i also used to work with a nigerian guy who spoke japanese so this "MINDFUCK" is not too far fetched

[mvang01]

The dancers were not needed for this, seriously.

[yanee27]

wow. this is the first time i ever saw a black guy speaking in japanese. LOL. it doesnt look alright. :|

[saitansweak]

what went wrong?

[sibeliustriste]

Jero is a Enka singer in Japan. Get info first ¬¬

[Aquatom95]

O_O Why is a black man singing in Japanese? MINDFUCK

[2345Disciple]

@Aquatom95 Black people live in Japan as well, you know.

[Aquatom95]

@2345Disciple Seriously?? Sorry, this is just completely new to me

[iamryc3]

@Aquatom95 Jero's grandmother is Japanese. She got him into this kind of music. He's fairly well known in Japan.

[WarDon561]

@Aquatom95 maby his parents were in the war so he lived in japan....or the real mind fuck ...he was learning a martial art and found out he can sing while rehearsing his official war cry and said eff this shit im gonna be on japanese idol =D

[ruthvenmoon]

the only part I'm wtfing about is why it ended so abrupty.

Yay for blackeneese country.

[colombia7777]

all nows that niggers dress like rapers.....even if they sings rock or whatever...

[MyDearCross]

This is JERO, and African-American enka singer, who has Japanese roots. This is clearly NOT rap.

[Jalissa1516]

LMAO tats my first time seeing a black person sing jap XD

[Drenn23]

I always wondered if there were black people in japan

[Wolflover485]

Not a rap!!!!! You idiot!!!

[MrNter795]

fuck u dude ! xD

[chobiv7]

this is the first time i've seen something like this. rare stuff.

[PanormousRamen]

lolracist.

[inboundsmist]

This is Enka, you stupid fuck. Just because he's black it doesn't make this a rap.

[waffle1061]

@inboundsmist  true so true

[GanChan6500]

Okay, just because he's black doesn't automatically make this a rap.

[Miteour17]

@GanChan6500 I love you *crying*

[zaetita]

@GanChan6500 but his clothes???

[LavaSharkk]

rap the musical?

well... thats... ah.... I've got nothing.

[narutofan9tf]

[fakeutubeacct12579]

[YOUNGDON72]

@atomicbomb510 i'm a nigger so what you bitch ass motherfucker KMT dickhead

[YOUNGDON72]

WHAT A NIGGER LOL



[atomicbomb510]

@YOUNGDON72 assssssshooooole



[TheDRUNKCANADIAN]

@atomicbomb510 End your life brah.

[ticktacktramp]

It´s obvious uploader was being ironic making the title. That little japanese or what he is is both dressed and looks like a hoodlem. Then singing something completely out of character. Would'nt expect Dr Dre singing my heart will go on either would ya? You being the fools.

[Gabrielregalado2]

Its enka stupid

[kalvo17]

WHAT THE FUCK IS ENKA!?

[masonkiller666]

@kalvo17 lmgtfy(dot)com/?q=enka

[Szerbijn]

omg we are so ignorante for not knowing everything in the world, and everybody knows about ENKA, am i wrong? >:

[StaniaJ]

this was definitely Enka not rap...

[shamille724]

JERO FTW

[EiichiroToriyama]

lol! DarkHalo FU-IF-TI-ZEN-TO! Is better...

[Tonethetechnician]

Edit the title,fucktard

[bananacockroach]

wat was the fail

[CosmeticHappy]

It's Jero, he's an enka singer, not a rapper. People can be so ignorant sometimes.

[TheRyowyn]

@CosmeticHappy sure, but you have to admit.. he looks like your stereotypical rap-guy.

[MyFoodIsBad]

@TheRyowyn

He did that so as to appeal to young people. It worked

[xxcupcakexattackxx]

what went wrong

[azianangel9293]

this is enka guys......he isnt even trying to rap.....

he was born and raised in america but was inspired by his japanese grandmother to go into enka and he has done quite well for himself...he has said that he shouldnt have to give up his way of dress in order to sing enka...

[FBKei]

its enka you tardos

[lillaAttin]

it reminds me of that guy in Scary Movie :D (The Weed Guy in scary movie)

[doomaflatchie]

Now that's gangsta.
