Fuck Swag
KOHH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
すぐにバレる やっぱり 他人の目よりも鏡を見ろ
結局見た目より中身 無理して格好付けるのダサい
Fuck Swag! Fuck Swag! そんな飾りいらない
Fuck, Fuck Swag!
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck Swag!
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck Swag!
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck
Fuck Swag!
Fuck Swag!
またダッセー奴らがダッセー奴らとダッセー服着て
カッケーモノでもダッセーモノにしてる
カッケー奴らはカッケー奴らとカッケーことして
ダッセーモノでもカッケーモノに見せる
まあどうぞお好きに Snap Back と skinny
何年前の話? 遅れてて悲しい
誰かが言ってたよ 流行りに乗っかり
とか真似するの無しでも 奪うなら有り
あんま無理するなよ 俺にはなれない
人と同じことする考えは狭い 時代遅れで期待外れの
二番煎じでは一番にはなれない からどうせ
流行りなんてすぐに終わる 一瞬金が儲かる
そんなモン壊す そうして新しい物を作る
昔の形崩す 興味が移る 何度も続く
格好いい音楽とかファッション
大事なのは情熱 パッション Fuck Your Swag!
爆笑 ギャグでしょ? 変な格好 Fuck Your Swag!

オリジナリティがあって魅力的なら自然と人は引き込まれるよ。人気も出る。
派手さだけがメジャーになるか否かの要因にはならない。特にこの国では。
単に国民性に合ってないんだよ。一般人からはこういう雰囲気のラップはヤンキーの聞く音楽って印象しかないでしょ。
日本人は頭固いし真面目な民族だから仕方ない。
余談だけど、日本語ラップがメジャーにならないって言い方だと全くの間違い。
普通にメジャーで売れてる/人気のあるアーティストは沢山いる（いた）。ジャンルとしての認識も、確立もしてる。
ここで言ってる「日本語ラップ」がそういうのを含めない意味合いなのは分かるけどな。
リップスライムとかを「あんなのラップじゃねーよ」みたいなこと言うのは、ラーメン好きが「二郎なんてあんなのラーメンじゃねーよ」って言ってるような不毛な議論だから他所で。
@kaaaaazzz
DtoTheE 確かに国民性、というか文化としてHipHopは日本人に染み付いてないですね。
すみません。「メジャーにならない」って言い方だと語弊があったかもしれないです。。「日本や世界で評価されない」って意味合いです。
ちなみに僕はリップスライムも日本語ラップだと思ってます。
いろんなラップがあるほうがシーンが盛り上がるし、
どんどん新しくて良いラップが生まれると思ってるので。
だから、そこで「パクリパクリじゃない」の議論しかしないのは
もったいないなと思ってます。
