As I listened to the russian rapper Centr I realized that the language is different and but the rP THING IS THE same. The beat of the song was tight but if i could understand what he was saying i probley wouldve liked the song.

Ther swedish hip-hop artist used some of the same types of languages in there lyrics and I could understand some of the things they were saying. The song isn't that much different than what we listen to on a regular basses.

I like the Swedish rappers because they song was good and i can understand some of the words they saying, but the other lyrics was kinda hard cause it was in a different language, but the best thing was the beat in the beginning.

I listened to the some of the Russian rappers, and wow was it different. I couldnt understand a word he said but the beat was pretty coool. He was saying something bout "stutin" thats all I understood .. I acually think Russian Rap is cool, he sounded pretty cool (:

When I was listening to the Russian rap I thought that if I could understand what it was saying so, I didnt like it because I didnt understand what it was saying. But the beat was cool. It sounds a little like American music. If only I could understand what it was saying I think I would had like it.

I listened to the Japanese Rock Musicians, they are about the same as american rock musicians, except they are using a different language. As you listen, you can see that they dont talk as loud as american rock musicians but they still talk a little loud. Seems like they are more calm also.

I listened to the Japanese Rock they are almost like American Rock songs but the only think is that they were using a different language. I may have liked the music only if i understood it!

I listened to the russian rappers and they were preety good. I couldnt comprehend what they were saying but it kind of sounded good. It sounded like they could rhym. I think that our artists would dominate the other artists.

Three rappers that I listened to are Guf, Accan, anf KRec . I like there rapping skills it sounds kind of like ares and their beats are better one rapper named Guf he reminds me of T.I and daddy yanke mixed together and the other to have there own style

If you compare the sweddish artist Petter Alexis to someone like Soldier Boy his music is somewhat better because is slower and it's more likely he has more meaning to his song than soldier boy has ever had in one of his songs

The one i listened to was the sweddish. I liked the sweddish alittle bit. They sounded like jamaicans with a white accent. The beat they were rapping to was a little different but other than that and the understanding of what they were saying its not that different

I listened to the russian rapper Guf it seems like he might rap like 50 cent here in America because his style is kinda at a mediam pace and.
also listened to the Russin rap band Horraho u dont realy see alot of rap Bands in America but i could compare them to the rap group Young Money here in America because of there diversity of every person in there group. I also see the people over there like to belike our rappers over here and dress like them and get tatoo's and look like thugs.
