Rap Around The World - 30 Languages, One Awesome

Post Pic

Very cool video of Rap/Hip-Hop being presented in 30 different countries around the globe. It comes in all shapes and sizes.





Here is a sampling of 30 different raps, from 30 different countries (in alphabetical order). While I’m not the biggest fan of the genre, this video really showcases how different Rap/Hip-Hop can sound depending on what part of the world you come from. Same concept but way different look and sound.

Considering it’s only been a few decades since Rap started dominating the U.S. Billboard charts, it amazes me how fast a style of music can spread with a little word of mouth and a lot of love from the internet.

Enjoy!
