World Rap and Hip Hop

Foreign Language Rap is hip-hop that is either heavily flavored by international influences, or is rapped in a language that is not English or Spanish. It generally isn't as hard as American or British hip-hop and often follows trends instead of blazing new paths. The notable exception to that rule is jazz-rap, as European hip-hop acts were heavily influenced by England's acid house and acid jazz, and these ideas later spilled over to the hip-hop that was made in Europe. Foreign rap is rapidly evolving in many parts of the world as Hip Hop culture permeates into new countries.
