The ultimate guide to the most exotic rap in the world | Part 2 - OCEANIA and AUSTRALIA
Ever heard of rap in Mayan or Aztec? In addition, in Eskimo or Tibetan? Have you ever seen clips from the Kingdom of Tonga or hip-hop videos made by Papuans and Saami? Disgusting men gathered for you the most exotic rap from around the world. Some of the songs are thrash, but some suddenly turn out to be real pearls that you want to listen to on the replay.
OCEANIA AND AUSTRALIA
Instead of gradually increasing the level of exoticism, on the move we move on to the heat itself. At least for the Papuan rapper E.R.Z., who made my week.
E.R.Z. - Suara Hati | New Guinea. Indonesia
Rapper E.R.Z. lives in the city of Jayapura in New Guinea, in the part that belongs to Indonesia (so do not be surprised that half of the rapper's homies in the clip are Asians). It is not known what this Papuan poet is talking about, but in his Suara Hati Part II the word “Eminem” is clearly heard, with which he, it seems, compares himself. In a sense - for good reason, E.R.Z. really reads clearly. Although it is better to squander at 0.45, it is just beginning to accelerate to this point.
Papua raper | Papua New Guinea
In addition, here we have a sample of the Papuan "nouneyma." We never managed to find out who the performer is, whether he is from Papua New Guinea or not (confused by the flag in the background, which in general looks like Puerto Rican). You have to believe the description on YouTube:
Maitreya | New Zealand. Maori
Actually, the performer working under the pseudonym Maitreya is white. However, he lives in Christchurch town in New Zealand and made the track CHur To The CHur (Te Reo Maori) for their Maori homies in their language. It turned out cheerfully, although some kind of dissonance still causes.
Tokohood - The Anthem | Kingdom of Tonga
Tonga is an island monarchy in Polynesia ruled by King Tupou VI. For you to understand: when the Europeans first sailed to the shores of Tonga, they were surprised to call this state "proto-empire." For centuries before XIX there was the highest population density in the world, an advanced monarchy, a complex feudal society, a strong fleet with large galleys and Napoleonic plans to seize the whole of Polynesia.
Then they were not lucky - the diseases brought by Europeans were stronger than proto-empire. Now they make tolerable hip-hop here. In addition, in the tongue language, it sounds much cooler than in imported English:
Stula - Fika a le au kuoli | Samoa
The Samoans are the eternal enemies of the proto-empire of Tonga, which was discussed above. Now, in times of globalization, the feud has ended and the Polynesians are competing in hip-hop, not in pirate raids. In fact, finding rap in pure Samoan is not so easy. Local performer’s polls switched to English and, unfortunately, their own language is not particularly favored.
Slaves of Ambition - Slum Dog | Micronesia. Nauru
Honestly, there is nothing special about the track of the band Slaves of Ambition from Nauru - everything is quite secondary, and in English. However, the entire population of this Micronesian dwarf country is 10 thousand people. If you live in a residential area, then most likely, about the same number of people live in your neighborhood. From this point of view, the clip is made surprisingly well.
E Girlz - Wutunugurra | Australia
The E Girlz Group (Not to be confused with the j-pop team of E-girls) is the sweetest female team that sings about Australian myths, the problem of alcoholism among the Aborigines and a kind of desert patriotism. Chorus - on one of the autochthonous languages.
The Alyawarr Crew - We’re Not Leaving | Australia
Another Australian team. At this time, male, or rather, teen-patsansky. Here, too, was not without social themes, but in general, less and less seriously and even in hooliganism.
Mamanta Crew - Paakatringa Waya | Australia
This video was recorded in a rather exotic place, even by Australian standards, on the island of Melville, located north of the continent. The island has a rather interesting history: it developed its own culture, and in 1942 it was even bombed by Japanese aircraft.
The name of the song in this video is translated from the language of tivi as “The Storm is Over”, and it just refers to that same airstrike. In addition, the Mamanta Crew sing about social things - poverty, injustice and the power of positive thinking.
All three groups — E Girlz, The Alyawarr Crew, and Mamanta Crew — were created as part of the DesertPeaMedia project, which is trying to preserve the culture of the Australian aborigines, including using hip-hop. How this turns out is unclear, but now we have the opportunity to find out how the modern speech of the indigenous Australians sounds.
