HIPHOP permeate into Japan?
Now,some Japanese likes rap-music as a hiphop. The CD have a good sele and many newface debut in turn. but I think that their music is not real hiphop. I feel displeased the present condition. Because in America, HIPHOP was respected for any other people.

When you stay true to your roots, we call it 'keeping it real'. When rappers achieve success, they are respected if they 'keep it real' and don't 'sell-out'. 'Selling-out' means altering one's message and style and giving up one's spirit for the sake of financial success and fame.

I always try to 'keep it real' in my life. It is pretty easy to do since I don't have people beating down my door offering me money for what I do. Spirit and sincerity is very important, I think.
