Yes I did listen to rap in other langs (languages I dont really understand), but I dont preffer it. IMO, to fully appreciate the song, you have to know that language very very well.

But I listen to rap in Bosnian (thats where Im from), in Serbian (same language as mine, plus there's a rapper from Serbia who I consider one of the greatest rapper EVER) and in Germany (I study there, so...).

Yeah, obviously lol but uhh.. I also like german rap a lil bit.. :shifty: French rap sounds pretty dope, but I don't understand it so there's no point in listening to it. I also listened to some african rap in swahili language, sounded dope.
I love polish rap. Not all of it, because 80% of it is some gangsta wannabe shit, but yeah, there are couple of guys who kill it. :y:

Yeah I listen to some Spanish Rap such as: Violadores Del Verso, Nach Scratch, SFDK, Frank-T, Jesuly, Armablanca, Falsalarma, etc.

But not as much as American Rap obviously. I do think Korean Rap is insanely awesome.

There was also that french rap song on the Fifa 2009 soundtrack... that sounded like a sick flow and I'm sure if I understood the lyrics it would be dope as hell

Gotta say, this track is so hot. Nas with an old school French duo called NTM. It's a remix of Affirmative Action and it's cool shit.
