RIP SLYME - NETTAIYA(熱帯夜)

I'm not a big fan or anything, but Rip Slyme's MC Ilmari is half-finnish, half-japanese. (Ilmari is Finnish name with a really old sound to it). Gotta give some credit for that.

Rip Slyme is a bit hard to categorize, humor seems to be a big deal in their act, they don't take themselves too seriously, which is a plus here as the music itself juts wouldn't cut it.

They're somewhat of a hip-hop act or at least I guess they used to be, but I can't really categorize this by a genre, it's a mess.

This video though has some good humping and pumping, sweat and curvy shapes, it's like a meat factory at it's best, check it out.

And by the way, the name Nettaiya (熱帯夜) is a new word for me. "Nettai" means Tropic and "Ya" means night, so you could call it "Tropic Night", but the dictionary says it's: "A night when the temperature doesn't fall below 25C" :) See the vid and you'll find out why ;)
