>>9325979>>9326000You seem to be under the impression that what mori makes is hip hop to begin with. Jrap is fundamentally different from English rap. The japanese pronunciation system is not cohesive with the type of flow that english rap can use, it's more heavily based around just a faster version of Jpop lyricism. That's why Mori's music doesn't have good flow, you can't separate words nearly as cleanly in english as in japanese. What Mori does is for all intents and purposes more alt Jpop than hip hop, and 21 pilots is one of the most influential bands in the alt pop scene of the past decade. TRENCH is objectively the best alt-pop rock album to come out in the later half of the 2010s unless you wanna count Sonic Citadel but you're fucked up if that's alt pop to you. Trench is a concept album with heavy story driven themes and a lot of experimental hard pop and more classic indie rap elements, it's the perfect thing to show Mori exactly where she's going wrong. There are no better examples in the English music scene for Mori to gleam from than the band that for all intents and purposes currently leads the pack in edgy concept rap pop.
