| Sumario: | The most clearly identifiable and popular form of Japanese hip-hop, 'ghetto' or 'gangsta' music has much in common with its corresponding American subgenres, including its portrayal of life on the margins, confrontational style, and aspirational 'rags-to-riches' narratives. Contrary to depictions of an ethnically and economically homogeneous Japan, gangsta J-hop gives voice to the suffering, deprivation, and social exclusion experienced by many modern Japanese. 24 Bars to Kill offers a fascinating ethnographic account of this music as well as the subculture around it, showing how gangsta hip-hop arises from widespread dissatisfaction and malaise. |
