	Volume 2 Issue 3 Article 3 - Internalising 'Street': Transnational Megastore Chains and Tokyoite hip hop scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Hip hop, of course, is one of these genres rationalised and categorised in the microcosm of a megastore, yet there is a considerable amount of cultural investment by hip hop buyers to intervene in the rationalisation and categorisation to represent the 'street' reality in re-constructing it in the store.
		Hip hop buyers in megastores re-construct 'authenticity' of Tokyo hip hop scene in the in-storespace by introducing a set of social relations with which to exclude the fake.
		Lastly, there are Japanese rap records which cross over to 'US rap' shelf in a megastore because of their closeness to the US 'real' hip hop and may be excluded from the rationalising megastore space to smaller hip hop specialist shops that also deal with analogue 12 inch singles and mix-tapes.

		Whatever, man. Hip hop and rap are now thoroughly global phenomena, and history has shown that almost anywhere in the world you can find two turntables and a microphone, hip hop will soon follow (if it hasn't started there already).
		Hip hop historians traditionally cite four recognized forms of hip hop expression: rapping, DJing, graffitti writing, and breakdancing.
		With this self-proclaimed return to the underground of hip hop, to the "dark clubs and hoodies," Muggs brings the first single from the forthcoming Soul Assassins album to the Net, alongside microphone master GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan.

	Ian Condry @ MIT
		Many in the music world doubted that it would be possible to rap in Japanese, that is, to be able to perform with the needed rhythmic nuance ("flow") and rhymes, because the language itself was viewed as deficient: It didn't use stress accents and sentences must end with one of a few simple verb endings.

		"Hip Hop Global Flows" will combine performances with scholarly exploration of hip hop, including Asian-American music, racial and gender stereotypes and the politics of Japanese hip hop.
		The hip-hop event came about because scholars in Asian and Asian-American Studies, African and African-American Studies and the Department of Music were interested in examining hip hop, but they didnât want simply to hold an academic conference, said Anne Allison, co-director of the Center for Asian and Asian American Studies.
		Even the term hip hop is hard to define, said Anthony Kelley, an assistant professor of composition at Duke who has studied the history of the music.

	National Hip Hop Political Convention (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Describing and discussing hip hop in one country at a time helps to maintain the focus on and show the uniqueness of the culture in the given country.
		However, because it is difficult to ignore the similarities and differences from country to country, such findings will be made after the analysis within each country, as a result of switching to a broader focus of hip-hop’s global connectedness, how it can be related and compared from country to country.
		Moreover, I am interested in accumulating the views of other people—hip hop fans, music critics, sociologists (pop culture), professors/researchers of Japanese, Cuban, New Zealand/Maori, and U.S. popular/modern culture, as well as people/students/adults from each of the four countries for their takes on hip-hop culture.

	Japanese can't dance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		But, Japanese J-POP hip hop copy songs are not about sex and even if they are dancing to western hip hop they don't understand the lyrics therefore they don't know with what feeling they should be dancing and they don't come up with the same types of moves.
		The fact that the majority (please forgive this if it is offensive) of female japanese do not possess large busts or large behinds, does not mean that when they shake the afformentioned parts of their body that they are copying latino.
		I think Japanese kids (boy am I dating myself!) understand the rebellion and the anger, they definitely want to emulate the kool, but perhaps they don't understand that gangster rap is not just fashion: it's a money-making empire ruled by a few who cultivate a violent image to separate kids from their money.

	Hip Hop History
		The Hip Hop World should recognize this month and pay tribute to those who laid the foundation and paved the way as well as to those who continue to preserve the rich tradition of the culture.
		Hip Hop is being portrayed negatively by many artists who work in the element of Rap (emceeing), and this negativity is usually instigated and promoted by the record industry and various other corporations who exploit the culture at the expense of the youth's state of mind and morality.
		So Hip Hop the word has roots with the MCs (Master of Cermonies) of the Disco era, but it is a Fact that Afrika Bambaataa's Whole Zulu Nation are the one who flip the name and made it a Culture.

		Before World War II, the Japanese social structure consisted of a very elite, wealthy capitalist class and a mass of poor farmers and workers, but the destruction of domestic infrastructure and the loss of the Asian colonies completely decimated the upper classes' vast fortunes at the end of the war.
		Japanese culture is openly pro-sleep the same way it is openly pro-sex, and the existence of all that sloth and lust porn neatly coincides with the fact that Japan is absolutely the least sexed and least rested of all post-Industrial nations.
		But the Japanese obsession with sleeping and eating concerns more than satiating physiological needs: if daily life constantly unfolds in the same mechanical loop of sleeping, commuting, working, commuting, and sleeping, the only moments an individual can truly grasp "alone time" are during meals and naps.
