An overly long article was written about it in Asian hip hop

[edit]

I accidentally created another page which will be deleted soon about Burmese hip hop, and pasted what was in the Asian hip hop article since it was referred as "Myanmar (Burmese) hip hop" and not "Burmese Hip Hop". If what that contributor had to say is of any value to develop a better article below is his text.

Intro

The Myanmar (Burmese) hip hop scene started in the lately 1980s with the famous rapper Myo Kyawt Myaing. His songs were more like plain rapping music rather than stereotypical hip hop. Myanmar Hip-Hop is just so simple. Because of so less artists who can sing in English so clearly and perfectly, they still cannot get the interests from other countries. Nowadays in Myanmar, Hip-Hop is known to be going-so-pop, most of the youths are trying to show the public how they rap and how they wear but exactly the fact that nobody can refuse is that there are not so many real artists who know definitely with Hip-Hop.

First generation

Acid (Hein Zaw(1980–2006), Anegga, Yan Yan Chan, Zayar Thaw) was considered to be the first generation or pioneers of Burmese hip-hop with their album "Beginning".[1] In the first generation, other groups like Theory, NS and Too Big were included. Most of the first generation artists sang old-school Hip-Hop. Another Hip-Hop artist known as Sai Sai Kham Leng, who is still regarded as the most famous artist, was also included in the progress of 1st Burmese Hip-Hop. People from Myanmar started to know about Hip-Hop was exactly because of Acid, Theory and Sai Sai Kham Leng.

Second generation

Second generation was the most active period of Burmese hip hop.

After ACID breakthrough, a group named "9mm" changed the style of Burmese hip hop to new level. Even though the group is well known to youth, most of their songs didn't pass Burmese sensor board. They never released own album under 9mm. Most of their songs came out as underground hip hop. Later, the name 9mm was banned by sensor board as the group involved in politics.[2]

Other famous groups are G-Family, Project-1, Byout-Oh (Firecracker), Examplez, On-track, Cyclone. M.H.A (Myanmar HipHop Association)[2] was formed unofficially. Many youth joined M.H.A and inspired to becoming hip hop artist someday.

Among those artists, MCs named J-Me and Yatha was the most famous Hip-Hop artists and they really did great to point and talk about what does Hip-Hop means to the peoples of Myanmar.They rapped, they free-styled, they learned, they beat-boxed. They pulled and increased the interests of most Myanmar youths over Hip-Hop. The second capital of Myanmar, known as Mandalay, which is the source of traditional music and culture of Burma, also bore hip hop artists and groups even though they are not as many as in Yangon.

Third generation

Since late 2006, teenagers like Jouk Jack [2], Kyaw Htut Swe claimed themselves as Third generation. They formed a group called VIP(Rock$tar) with Ah Boy, Htein Win and Hlwan Paing (the last member). They became the most famous rappers of the Third Generation. In lately 2008 and early 2009, many other third generation groups came out and released their sample albums such as RubberBand,Platform Crew,Tiny Twist,Chilli Family,BLF,G3,DCT,NewVersion(NV),Downtown (Aung yo & M-2)and many more.

After third generation

Since lately 2009, the number of rappers enormously increased. Many new young rappers had realized the techniques to make rap music. But the styles were new school raps and dissing hardcore tracks, rather than real Hip Hop. As public wants noisy, shouting and dissing hardcore raps, most of the rappers made hardcore Down-South songs. But in 2010, a group named *Legendary* was formed, and started to move on the streets. This group is formed with an aim of combining young ones and old rappers. Most of them are Free-stylists. Other Hip Hop groups like M.J.N, P.B.D Hood,etc. also came up. Many commercial Hip Hop and Rap albums are released around lately 2010. Recently, Hip Hop can said to be the most popular type of music in Myanmar.
