Best H!P rap moments...

[Madara]

I watched the S/mileage Limited Live 2011 concert recently and was distinctly unimpressed with the "rap battle" sequence. I've seen better examples of rap performance in H!P shows and videos. For me, the ones that come to mind are:



1) the group rap in MM's "Do It! Now" PV, where each girl gets a line in the rap portion



2) Nono's rap in W's "Miss Love Tantei"



3) Chisato's "funkyk hiphop" take on "One's Life" in the Spring 2009 C-ute concert. (I tend to prefer Saki N.'s "jazz patter" take on the same song in the Fall 2010 C-ute concert, but Chisato's version definitely deserves props.)



I know there are a lot more than this. These are just the ones that I can recall. And there are probably some I haven't even seen.



Anyone have other examples of exemplary H!P rap moments?



Thanks.

Dokusenyoku (6th album) - there are part of rap sang by yaguchi & iida which I find really good.



Also, the new song from the 12th album - silver no udedokei which include risa & aika rap...



Oh, and there is a rap part on kousui done by all melon kinenbi except shibata...



And I don't consider BE HAPPY a song with rap, if you consider it rap than it's a very bad one...

[MiniLovely]

Dokusenyoku!! And, Nanchatte Renai. JunLin in particular OWNED their parts.

When I read the topic's title W's Miss Love Tantei didn't even come to mind, but now that I've been reminded of it it's hard not to list it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

[tsukinobyouin]

- Dokusenyoku (especially live)

- Nanchatte Renai

- Daite yo! Please go on



I would actually say the rap in Miss Love Tantei is the worst H!P rap of all time. Squeaking like a chipmunk is not usually part of good rap. It's a large part of why I dislike that song.

[AquaChan]

Destiny Love & Daite Yo. Seriously.

7Air is still fun to sing XD. (CHECK LIKE DIS.)

[NekoKaiSai]

MM's Namidacchi has a rap, as does Friendship, the B side to W's Miss Love Tantei, which is probably my favorite rap part.

[Pucchi-Mo]

Dokusenyoku



Honorable mention: Love Like Crazy



A rap in an H!P song not done by the girls, hands down, The Stress. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



About that live of Dokusenyoku, I just noticed that Miki took Sayumi's rap verse. Well, it was nice of them to let Makoto have a part in the rap, even if it was backup.

[Miss Moonlight]

All of GET UP! RAPPER should count! I love that song. And I second Namidacchi.

Politically incorrect rapping is the best kind :

Yossie and Goto Rapping

Well, since I love that song so much, rap and all, maybe I should be asking for the "Worst H!P rap moments," since I'd probably love those best! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



And maybe I'm spoiled because I've seen our fellow board member Usako and her friend Cristi do "Miss Love Tantei" in karaoke, a wondrous thing to behold and the next best thing to seeing Aibon and Nono do it. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />

Yes, that is priceless. On a par with that is the rapping "obasan" (Granny) played by Kei Yasuda, with Yossi joining in, in the 2005 Hello Morning Christmas special. (If someone knows how to find that on YouTube, that would be great. I tried.)

This, with an honourable mention to live Dokusenyoku. Miki is fierce. Are there any other live performances of Dokusenyoku online?

such memories!



Wow @ Maki's reference to Yuko. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

and then it's Yossi's turn and she steps up, can't think of anything and then turns around. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I guess it's hard to follow Maki's comment.



Morning Musume was great with this improvised element.

I'll just leave this here...

[Rinnie]

Shiawase Desu Ka!

[boinsie]

I've always enjoyed Kousui's rap... "wha-wha-wha~~!"

[Haru]

"Saa! Koibito ni Narou," and "GET UP! RAPPER."
