I filmed my friend getting off the Subway in NYC. He's deaf and knows sign-language. And this is a Freestyle Rap he wrote...completely in Sign Language.

  • Great to see hip hop spreading even to the deaf communities! :D

    Incidentally, is hip hop sign language different in any way from regular sign language?

    I recognized some of the signs he used (cuz I'm studying sign language but I'm a complete beginner), and they looked normal but probably with more attitude I guess. Like how we hip hop folks got our own slightly different language in the spoken world as compared to regular people.

  • It wasn't amazing, but definitely better than most spoken rap out there today. And I'm not even kidding. Respect.

  • hahaha i can't stop picturing a rap battle between him and blind fury smh :D

  • why are you rhyming in English? ASL doesn't have an auditory component, so making the English words rhyme makes no sense....

  • LOL.... Sweet!

  • this is obviously not DEAF and ASL, this video is obviously hearing because no deaf rapper sign like that and it is clearly this guy using himself posed as deaf rapper which he is not!!! Quit posing yourself as deaf person, dude!!

  • Epic.

  • LOL he is not signing at all. This made up signs/gesture that mean nothing at all. hilarious he is stand there waving his hands thinking he can sign and rap at the same time. Fool!!

  • I know that isn't ASL, was wondering what language that was...

  • What do yall mean "RESPECT"? this is not ASL. Period. if it is ASL and then it is not right ASL! ok? have some respect please. so enjoy this crap video.

  • I am hearing and at the intermediate level in asl. I would love to collab and make a music video with him! Any way of contact?

  • Either he's late deafened and just learned sign language OR he's actually hearing and not a native signer... OR he's been deaf all his life and never socialized in the deaf community and just started learning ASL.
