現在2019年は，実はもうこの”twerk”という語彙の使用頻度は飽和状態（使われすぎ）にあるのですが，ここへ来て，ドレイク（Drake）の曲で昨年流行った「In My Feelings」で一躍人気を博したシティ・ガールズ（City Girls）という女子ラップユニットが，同名の楽曲「Twerk」を発表しました。そしてフィーチャリング・アーティストは“イマ”をときめくラッパー＝カーディ・Ｂ（Cardi B）です。
Meek Mill feat. Rick Ross & JAY-Z – “What’s Free”（ヴァース１対訳）
[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
Since a lad, I was cunning, just got a pad out in London
I keep stackin’ my money, I’ll need a ladder by summer
AK shots, niggas duckin’ stray shots
Been a top dog, that’s before the K-Dots
Crackin’ in ’06, immaculate showmanship
Talkin’ like you Mitch, disastrous on the strip
Holdin’ on your bitch, coulda never sold you a brick
With them people, you never been on a list
Mona Lisa to me ain’t nothin’ but a bitch
Hangin’ pictures like niggas swingin’ from his dick
We so different, you thought these didn’t exist
The Megalodon never seen on his wrist
I’m from the South where they never make it this rich
God is the greatest, but Satan been on his shit
Walkin’ the pavement, I pray I’m illuminated
Over a decade and never nobody’s favorite
Pot and kilo go hand in hand like we Gamble and Huff
My amigo, a million grams and we countin’ ’em up
You was dead broke, I let you hold a pack
You paid for it, but I fucked around and stole the track
Screaming “gang gang,” now you wanna rat
Racketeering charges caught him on a tap
Lookin’ for a bond, lawyers wanna tax
Purple hair got them faggots on your back
Nas feat. The-Dream & Kanye West – “everything”（ヴァース３及びサビ部分対訳）
[Verse 3: Nas]
Watch me as I walk through the folly, golly, New York to Saudi
In Italy, I’m Eduardo Wiccari
But Nasty the hustler, nasty like mustard gas, sulfur
And I could sell Alaska to Russia, no pressure
My first house, 11,000-square-feet mansion
It was a haunted by dead rich whites
Mad a nigga bought his crib to hang up pictures of black Christ
Circular driveways, black cars and black ice
My second house, still in my twenties, illin’ with money
Chilled through my spine, spillin’ wine, it’s funny
Did good for a staircase loiterer, euphoria
What you saw when you seen a teen turn to a warrior
Did every Fourth of July, bustin’ in the sky
It was important to a guy who was mob-minded
Future Murcielago driver ’til Lambos got average on me
I started likin’ the look like I ain’t had no money
Yellow taxi seats over Maybach seats
Just to remind me, just to inspire me
To stay focused, it’s a real sick society
Just ’cause I got your support don’t mean you’re buyin’ me
I’m buyin’ back the land owned by the slave masters
Where my ancestors lived, just to say a rapper
Made a change, the pants-sagger put plans in action
To lay claim the Pan-African made it happen
[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West & The-Dream]
You’ll live, and you’ll learn
See ’cause you’ve never been the same as anyone else
Don’t think the same as everyone else
You’ll love, and you’ll learn
See you’ll never conclude with anyone else
Don’t think the same as everyone else
[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah
[Post-Chorus: The-Dream & Kanye West]
Dark boy, don’t you cry
There’s too much life left in those eyes
Don’t you let that face go waterfall
Don’t you learn to love your scars and all
Dark boy, don’t you die
They’re just human, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
Let them come to you
For you’ll love, in your heart
See ’cause you’ve never been the same as anyone else
Don’t think the same as everyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you’ll never conclude with anyone else
Don’t think the same as everyone else
Nas feat. The-Dream & Kanye West – “everything”（ヴァース２対訳）
[Verse 2: Nas]
From the birth of a child, the world is foul
Excursions of a searchin’ child
Should learn to take nothin’ personal
A parent hates to watch his baby’s face
Takin’ his first immunization shots, but this is great
The child’s introduction to suffering and pain
Understands without words, nothin’ is explained
Or rushed to the brain, lookin’ up at his parents’ face
Like, “I thought you would protect me from this scary place?”
“Why’d you let them inject me?”
“Who’s gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?”
Who knew I would grow to meet presidents that respect me?
If Starbucks is bought by Nestlé, please don’t arrest me
I need to use your restroom and I ain’t buy no espresso
Soon enough, assume the cuffs, the position
Not new to us, since back on the bus sittin’
Said, “Screw that bus!” – boycotted that bus outta business
The future’s us, yet every citizen’s in prison
Nas feat. The-Dream & Kanye West – “everything”（ヴァース１対訳）
[Verse 1: Nas]
When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts
Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black beloved brother
You fail to embarrass him, harassin’ him
To my life, your life pales in comparison
So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the God
Do what’s necessary, I’m never worried
Listen vultures, I’ve been shackled by Western culture
You convinced most of my people to live off emotion
That’s why we competin’, death by the chrome barrel
Forgot the secrets, my Kilimanjaro bone marrow’s the deepest
You can peep at the comments, but don’t fall for that
We want freedom, I’m a scholar, an almanac
People do anything to be involved in everything
Inclusion is a hell of a drug
Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life
And never have enough
今年2018年1月28日，ニューヨークのマディソン・スクウェア・ガーデン（Madison Square Garden）で，「第６０回グラミー賞」（60th Annual Grammy Awards）が開催されました。そのステージで見せてくれたケンドリック・ラマー（Kendrick Lamar）のパフォーマンスが素晴らしかった。まずはそれをご覧あれ。
Kendrick Lamar – 60th Grammy’s Performance 2018 from Pablo Andres Vizcarra Montaño on Vimeo.
これは現代のアメリカ国への怒りと憤りに満ちた映像です。パフォーマンスの途中，バックのスクリーンに大きく「THIS IS A SATIRE by KENDRICK LAMAR（これはケンドリック・ラマーによる諷刺だ）」と映し出されます。現代アメリカへの怒りと憤りをヒップホップに昇華させたパフォーマンスでした。これをヒップホップと呼ばず，他に何をヒップホップと呼べるか。
