Deaf Rap
Deaf Rap
Although not strictly KS-related, I figured you guys might find this interesting - apparently there is a scene for deaf rappers. Yes. Deaf rap exists.
Here's a link discussing the phenomenon.
In case you're too lazy to look at the video's description, some example tracks:
Sean Forbes "I'm Deaf"
Signmark - Against The Wall (Note how he's signing the lyrics in ASL as he sings)
EDIT: Obligatory "Shizune approves"; inb4 fanart of Shizune or Misha as a rapper
EDIT 2: Fixed link to Forbes vid; thanks metalangel

Re: Deaf Rap
To a certain extent, I suppose. As the guy in the explanation video observes, rap's reliance on wordplay over musical structure makes it translate well into sign language.

Re: Deaf Rap
Working link to the Sean Forbes video:
It's a welcome change from ASL students trying to gloss their favourite songs.
I'm getting one thing in English and something else in ASL, which is a weird feeling not unlike when there's an interpreter present.

Could the difference between the two be due to the linguistic differences between English and ASL?

Re: Deaf Rap
There's a band called Gulaggh that will be releasing their new album, featuring vocals done by people who were born deaf. Should be quite unsettling if their previous works (featuring consenting mental health patients) are anything to go by.

Re: Deaf Rap
Yes. I'm not fluent in ASL, but there is a difference between the two in the videos - it's not a literal translation so much as an interpretation of the lyrics. That's generally how it works anyway. I say it's weird because I still have to shift into ASL mode, and having a spoken interpretation coming in at the same time is a confusing feeling at times. This happens in real life too, it's not just with music videos, but with the videos there's a more artistic spirit that's even harder to capture that straightforward communication.d2r wrote: Could the difference between the two be due to the linguistic differences between English and ASL?

Re: Deaf Rap
Huh...
I recently discovered that 'compliment rap battles' were a thing, and now this...Rap's just a nifty place. (Still awful as music though.)

Well, he did also make music while being himself deaf, so in that limited sense there is overlap.Atario wrote:Hahaha no.Zarys wrote:They are like Beethoven ?
