Shing02: e22.com ニートtokyo@every 9pm ■ニートtokyo■ □twitter□ / neettokyo □instagram□ / neettokyo Supported by RU-vid Space Tokyo, TAPS(ZEFR/HOMEPARTY) Translated by Sean Schiffy Nakamura Interviewed by Bundai Yamada #Shing02 #Nujabes
Nujabes originally got me interested in Japanese Hip Hop and of its existence then discovering there was a hot bed of talent, a golden age of music in the 90s in Japan before Nujabes. I became an advent listener. Wasn't for him and his contributions and the success of Samurai Champloo ,Japanese Hip hop would have never transcended over to the west . It would have just been a hidden treasure old school Hip hop legend producers from America would speak about when asked what collabs they done with artist overseas. Little people know Japanese Rappers and producers earned respect from the New York Hip hop community in the 90s way before they gave the West coast props and respect.
えっと、僕は韓国人なんで、韓国語の字幕を作ったんですけど、私以外の他の人達から私が作った字幕を確認もらわなければ正式に字幕を登録できません。 日本とアメリカ以外、韓国もセバジュンさんやshing02さんのファン多いのでこの動画を紹介したいんです。 이거 한국어 자막 만들었는데, 제가 아닌 다름사람의 자막 확인을 받아야 정식으로 자막이 등록이 되나봅니다. 누자베스 님과 싱고투의 이야기 같은 걸 한국 사람들 한테도 좀 알리고 싶네요.
Very cool interview, but I wonder if S02 feels constrained by his earlier work with Nujabes. He's been doing stuff lately that's straight off-the-chain, but he's always being compared to work from 20 years ago. I love that work, but it would be nice to know what's driving him to continue to make music, write rhymes, etc...
I agree with you, but maybe he also thinks that because he’s so closely tied to nujabes, and obviously nujabes can’t represent himself today shingo has to do him justice as well? You get what I mean?
I also got a small sense of that from this interview too. I can understand him wanting to be recognised as an artist in his own right, which he is. But in the end, he'll always be known to casuals as the guy who rapped on Nujabes beats. Anyway, a ton of respect for him. He clearly dedicated his life to his art.
LAと横浜で育ったおじさんです。 何がすげーってアメリカで育ったShingo2のこの日本語力よ… 親が日本人でもアメリカで育ったと思えないvocabulary Luv sic part 2 is forever for me. 日本のHip Hopがもっと良くなりますように。 big up Shungo 2 and RIP Nujebes.
I can't believe all these years have never seen this man's face come on though I know the words to every one of his loves sick songs. Further, that they... look... I don't know if you'll ever see this Shingo02, but your music and to that extent nujabes enriched my life and I've never put a song on by you guys that didnt make whomever I was with stop and take notice. Thank you, good sir. May nothing but happiness come through your door.
