What Are Hip-Hop’s Favorite Anime? | Genius News
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 02. 2019
- From lyrical name-drops to references in music videos, hip-hop has a close relationship with anime. In early 2018, Genius covered how often 'Dragon Ball Z' appears in lyrics, but it’s not the only anime that gets love from rappers. A few examples are 'Naruto,' which often gets mentioned for its villains, and 'Akira,' which has influenced Kanye West and Logic. Other popular anime in hip-hop are 'Attack on Titan,' 'Death Note,' 'Trigun,' and 'Inuyasha.'

Love how they skipped over orochimaru and played a Gaara clip
Gaara is better than orochimaru as a character
@@juvenilized Do you mean as a person, or in power?
I mean gaara went through alot of character development, so i like him alot more. In contrast, i hate orochimaru which means the animators behind him are really good at portraying a characters personality, because if you hate an actor/character they are doing an amazing job but kids wont understand and that, and send hate anway.
So Yes I Love Gaara And I Love Orochimaru But, on a personal opinion, i like gaara just a bit more.

What song are these lines from
Anime has become apart of the mainstream, even in Rap. Now I don't have to feel like an outsider anymore.
Be a leader not a follower
i am still am a outsider
I mean I've been a wrap on my whole life and been a big fan of anime my whole life so it ain't nothing new
Years ago if you were listening to rap, you were an outcast; if you were watching anime you were an outcast; if you were wearing hip hop, you were an outcast.
Look at today trends, lol.
We are like fckin futurist geniuses
Every anime mentioned here has been mainstream from the start except maybe Trigun and Akira, maybe.
People who don’t watch anime are weird
YungSnotRocket why do you think so
Mikkel Tangen-Fosser because
remember niggas used to be weird for liking anime. now all of a sudden everyone likes it lol
@@miscellaneousmedia3753 lol of course you are. They do look pretty tho, I love seeing more black girls into anime and cosplay

“I’m a soul eater like black star” -X
I-
That's p stupid
guromilks you’re pretty stupid. Lol
@@restinpussy6850 :0 I mean it is sense black star is a meister and he doesn't eat souls
guromilks yea I know. If X was trying to say he eats souls he would have said tsubaki. But blackstar eating souls? That wouldn’t make sense would it now. He’s saying he’s a soul eater. Just like Black star who Is from the show soul eater... I don’t think he meant it in the way you’re thinking of. He watched that anime too after all.
Honestly wish rappers talked about anime that weren’t extra mainstream. Always on some “I go super saiyan like goku” type stuff instead of shouting out lit anime like noragami
Factual
I think I heard someone say they’re a god like yato or sum idk tho
Not everyone know non-mainstream anime. That's why they aren't mainstream lmao
@DarkTail 47 they prolly do lmao
One Punch Man was recently featured by Higher Brothers, Denzel Curry and Ski Mask the Slump God :p

Yes. Same
RIGHT
Tanya Godse and thats on fancy tuna
I remember when liking anime was wried throughout my entirety of grade school...10 years later now it's cool. Either way, I'm glad more people are into it now, but I still feel some type of way about people who made fun of others for watching it are now watching it because it's popular now.
Anime is a treasure. Many picked it up cuz they think it's trendy yet don't actually sit down to understand the cultural references,meaning,concepts or enjoy different anime series that aren't exactly mainstream.But I like it when artists feel comfortable to reference things they like though, as in GENUINELY LIKE. I enjoy a person who can tell me, "I can't wait to go home so I can watch...'s new episode and chill!" No body has to like anime but I don't like it when ppl say they love it when they don't. And it's not just anime I mean it for other things too
0:31 You had one job
"I'M GOING TO BECOME THE HOKAGE"
TBH, regular people won't get what Hokage means
Big boy
Exactly I was like um correction He wanted to be Hokage

Not everyone would get the reference i.e. not everyones a weeb like you
