Hawaiian "gangsta" rap

[oats]

I said "gangsta" cuz it definitely has some elements of 90s west coast/Deathrow rap, but it's not exactly in the same vein. In any case, I've been stumbling through this stuff these past couple days, curious as to how you guys feel about it.

I feel you, kinda lazy and stop-pause ish. I like the hook of that song a lot though, super catchy.

when i lived in hawaii i heard a couple of their rap songs...it's all garbage. they're education is below sub par, so nobody ever said anything worth listening to.


i think the first song i heard was called "dirty dirty waianae"

fucking horrible

The second video was alright I like the message the most. I think he trying too hard tbh.

see, I don't think they're trying too hard, but I'm actually familiar with what they're talking about and where they're coming from. I think it's just an awkward juxtaposition of cultures, and it's offputting.
Badweather I don't think any of these songs are garbage, if you haven't already listened to them I'd recommend giving them a try.
