Rap Videos

Rap AMVs in general, and especially GOOD rap AMVs are an extreme rarity. Is it so difficult to make rap AMVs? Or do the majority of editors just dislike rap? What's the deal?

Also, if anyone knows of any great rap AMVs please direct me to them because I am curious to see (doesn't matter what anime).

Most of the lyrics in rap don't have anything in common with anime at all, so thats one knock against it already. The fact that theres not much in the way of "music" to sync to is another knock against it.

Even though I don't care for rap, there are some good ones I've seen. Case in point...

I think it's just that lots of the good editors don't like rap.

It is a bit hard too classify It's Tricky as rap...to me. While most rap songs are rather random and have obscene and strange lyrics, It's Tricky actually has a theme in it and follows a general flow.

And the Dancing Vash is what made it what is is today
