	Israeli hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hip hop music is a musical genre invented in the United States, mainly by inner-city African-Americans.
		It began to enter the American mainstream by the late 1980s, but remained an underground phenomenon in Israel for years after being imported in the mid-1990s; the first recording was by Shabak Samech, a crew whose debut LP was released in 1995.
		Most Israeli hip hop lyrics are in English, Hebrew, Arabic or Russian but Jeremy (also known as Jeremy Cool Habash), an Ethiopian Israeli rapper, also raps in Amharic.

	Greek hip hop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest Greek hip hop groups date back to 1987, though native language albums did not appear until the mid-1990s.
		As American hip hop lyrics became more widely violent, so did international hip hop lyrics, and Greece was no exception.
		Before this, Greek hip hop was considered to be a fad or a novelty of sorts.

	Music Review: Celebrate Hip Hop
		With the possible exception of Israel, where there is a vital Israeli hip hop community that is primarily Jewish (if politically and musically still diverse), most of these artists seem to be exploring hip hop first, and Jewish second.
		Hip hop is a perfect medium for the conflicts inherent in the many fracture lines of Israeli society.
		For someone whose hip hop experience is less than mainstream—have I gotten a new hip hop CD since, say, Saul Williams' political stuff of a few years ago?—this is a revelation of diversity, however weak some of the "Jewish" content seems to be on some cuts.

		His relationship and falling out with Israeli Arab rapper Tamer Nafar are the subject of a documentary, "Channels of Rage." A former Subliminal protege, Nafar's identification with his Palestinian brethren in the West Bank and Gaza Strip ran up against Shimoni's Jewish nationalism.
