I respect how JSR included Black characters in the game from the get-go, because I know a few Japanese series that are very influenced by Black pop culture but none of the characters are darker than beige. They'd proudly have foreigners and international teams, and all of them would be either White or East Asian.
this game also had a huge influence on many kids of its time bringing Hip-Hop culture to them and showing just how important self-expression and self-love are
@@blazethecat363 And how is that related to the game that doesn't represent hip hop culture fully? It represents a lot of cultures punks did graffiti first
The part about Piranha and Boogie was really interesting to me because Piranha's profile stated her trait is "Reckless", while Boogie shows more apprehension.
Jet set radio helped form me as a teenager and I really didnt realize how much that representation was important untill I became a parent and I saw my kid not seeing representation in a lot of games.
I really can't thank you enough for all of your help with this project. Your involvement is what helped shaped this video to be really special. So I really thank you so much. 😌
I love JSRF. Even though I didn't grow up in an environment that could empathize with the culture that it portrayed, JSRF would go on to influence my taste in art and media, even when I went through a bit of a conservative phase. After sorting through my issues and understanding myself and my philosophies a little better, though, my appreciation for JSRF and its message grew even more, and STILL influences my taste in media.
Great video! I often think about how Black culture has shaped a plethora of games I love to this day such as Jet Set Radio, Parappa The Rapper, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, GTA: San Andreas, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (Knuckles section), The Suffering, Def Jam: FFNY, and etc. I doubt we'll get anything nowadays of that magnitude but in the 90s/2000s it was special.
Dude the production quality on this video is amazing! You, Vadell, Chidow, and False all did excellent work n research. JSR always had a black vibe to me because of the music and the clothing. Black artists are underrated af
from what ive seen this lil thing didnt get mentioned the voice that says understand the concept of love is actually sampled from a black panthers speech
Boogie has been one of my top favorites for the over 20 years I've had the game, I have a niece that's mixed and I have a best friend who is mixed as well. even though I'm white, I've heard a lot of the old school hip hop growing up and I like the music that my parents listened to when they were growing up so lots of 60's and 70's music plus the music from the decade my parents were born in the 50's.
10:59 Just realised he’s soft shaded here instead of cellshaded. I’m guessing it’s meant to resemble those shots in comics/manga that are extra detailed for whatever reason. Pretty neat! (Very nice video btw)
If I wasn't playing rhyth, boogie was my go to. I actually liked her redesign in jsrf. I remember even cosplaying her as a teen haha no one know who was my character 😂😂😂
I love to this day this game and it's soundtrack more, it's one of my main reasons why I wanted to produce and I'm still trying to get to this type of energy in all of my production, if you produce then most likely you're a Sega kid like me, their soundtracks are 🐐
Video helps people understand how much of an impact jsr has caused in the entire community of extreme sports, fashion miniroty groups and how they're represented, graffiti artists, music genras (hip-hop and breakcore)
oh my god bro. I was looking for this type of video for so long.... so long that I was willing to make my video. thank you for putting my thoughts into video form
Wait so you’re telling me all this time Jazz was black? My mind is blown. I just happened to be looking at Jsrf videos, and this popped up in my newsfeed. I was shocked to see her in the thumbnail! But as I look at her again I am amazed lmao. That’s crazy.
I know this might not matter, but I would say that the games music in JSRF has a bit of asain underground as well with how The Latch Bros. (Beastie Boy side project) sounds to me like hindi, and uses that genre of Bhangra plus Mike D helped a guru produced a song for the guru with mix-master-mike. Furthermore, the use of instruments like a tabla, dholaks and sitars are in their songs for example AI - bottoms up, koto stomp, The answer, master of illusion - Bronx-Bay Bridge and xlarge shoutouts etc. Have those instruments. Good project tho to understand and learn from tho y'all did a good job. 😏👌🏼
As a simple guy livin in mexico representation of people of color goes diferent: in mexico racism isnt as much as a problem as it is in us, that doesnt mean does not exist, but rather its more diferent, some people migth judge you form time to time but all and all is no a big problem, that say playing videogames or watching movies were black characters apears, you see them in a diferent way, i never saw those character for theyre color but rather for what they are theyre desings, personalities, way of acting, way of confronting problems, i made the concetion with them for what they do, my favorite character in tekken is eddie gordo cux he does capoeira and is a figthing style way diferent than any others, or barret who had a machin gun as his hand, thing like that are what i consider the most when i see representation character, in jet set radio, all of them are from diferent gangs and group yet they choose to join you in your quest cuz some how they belive in what you stand for.
Hope you see this. I got really Inspired by your video and the research and care that you put into it. This is something I really strive for and think I want to pursue myself you got yourself a new subscriber man and one day hopefully we can collabs in the future!!
This is a topic I have thought about lately. But its also a topic I'm afraid to touch on as I'm just your average white dude and my fear is that because I have no horse in this race I have no place weighing in on it. However, born in 89 in South Africa, I was molded by the video games, series, movies of the 90s and 2000s from the US, and seeing the world through my own lens (as everyone surely does), seeing things from someone elses point of view, as it would be in this instance, didnt occur to me (at least this broadly) till maybe the past 6 years or so. I loved Static Shock as kid, it never occured to me that I might not have been the target audience, though I suppose that speaks volumes about the creative team behind that show. One of my favourite characters in all of Final Fantasy, is Sazh from FF XIII, some folks had reservations about the character, being depicted with an afro, leaning more stereoptypical for some. My point is, there is a whole host of characters of colour, or characters who are heavily inspired by African American culture that I Iove, but I never considered the level of influence it would have on the demographic it was inspired by or based on, I never considered the cultural impact things could have. Especially when my baseline for characters based on the characters Ive seen in 90 percent of the movies and video games growing up, look like me, It didnt occur to me that characters that dont look like me have a great relevance or impact for many. I hope I articualted this properly, Its a topic I am relatively new to, and again because this doesnt feel like a topic I should I have a place discussing, its a certainly an interesting one I still am interested in following.
Amazing video. I've never played these games from a black perspective (would be kind of hard lmao), but hip-hop is my life and I think this game was my real introduction to everything past the music i grew up on and being fully immersed in the scene. To this day, I've never played a game that captured my love for the culture quite like this one does, me and my girlfriend watched this last night and yeah, thassa sub. Thanks for this and keep up the amazing work.
Also Concept Of Love is my favorite off the soundtrack and i did not fucking know that sample. that shit was sick. Video idea for you in the future would be maybe going through all the soundtracks and covering more of the samples, underrated part of the game soundtrack imo even though you covered it a bit already ^_^
I don't blame you for saying this. All of us clearly had drastic different approaches in video styles and such. While (mostly) being in the same topic, the shifts in styles can surely be jarring
so then was my computer using the basic display after an udpate instead of my actual radeon graphics card?? thats so annoying lol cuz i did this an its working again just like that thanks haha
But I do back up and support you on every single African-American character that you brought up AK black character that you brought up video game wise on the spot. I do respect your support on the love and respect that you give to those characters than not that many people nowadays that are not representative of black descent pretty much go hating against them almost every single time, but I'm surprised I do respect that you give love to them including the people that play Black characters on television as well, which then I watch almost all the time including Everybody Hates Chris, which man that was like a favorite TV show for the mid-2000s during my favorite time to watch but nonetheless I respect on that point as well.
Hideki Naganuma is to JSR and JSRF as David Wise is to the DKC series. If you get any other composer, the series will never be as good. Also, Professor K is the best character
I really think that the JSR team must have watched Do The Right Thing and taken a lot of inspiration from there. Buggin' Out is like Garam, we got Mister Senior Love Daddy as DJ Professor K, Radio Raheem as Combo, and even the themes and tone of the game seem to mirror the message of the film. Just thoughts.
Do yall know any current black artists who are making this music style rn? or something similar? i'm trying to get into it but I dunno who I should launch from :)

There's me... lol. Honestly, I don't think there's a lot in the mainstream. But if you go underground, a good chunk of them do.
@@RisingSonic17 i mean the part when you compare the voices of og combo and future combo that little moment when future combo says yo kid whats the background song?
Toasting traces its origins back to Jocko Henderson. The Jamaican pioneers of reggae already stated that they were influenced to start toasting from American radio stations. All elements of hip hop are black American creation.
@@RisingSonic17 No sweat brother. This conversation of hip hop has actually been a big topic as of recently because there is a ploy to push us Black Americans from being the creators and innovators of hip hop. The Jamaicans and Puerto Ricans have been both trying to claim credit for the elements of hip hop which all started with a Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe claiming the creation of hip hop was 50 Black American and Caribbean people. Otherwise I loved the Break down you gave for the black characters in JSRF. This was literally my favorite video game growing up. So much so that I still have Jet Grind Radio for dream cast, and two copies of Jet Set radio future ( including the Japanese version) for the original Xbox.
Jazz is not black. She's freaking Caucasian that talks in like freaking weird, like gangster tone slang words. That sounds like she's black but she's not really black. She's actually Caucasian, so I don't know why everybody thinks she's black but she's not.
You don’t think the representation is RACIST? I swear y’all millennials and gen z’ers. I like the games and characters but . . . Them lips. And they act too stereotypical. It’s set in JAPAN. Since when did Japan have respectful representation of Black people!? One of my favorite games and franchises but Black representation is always off to me.

Seriously JSRF’s soundtrack is integral to my Spotify library. Naganuma-San left NO crumbs on the soundtrack! ✨
this game also had a huge influence on many kids of its time bringing Hip-Hop culture to them and showing just how important self-expression and self-love are
Game has nothing to do with hip hop culture lol.
Everyone can do graffiti and most of the music is electronic lol
@@sprc155 not true actually. Hip Hop started as an underground scene just like how the radio station is an underground station

And how is that related to the game that doesn't represent hip hop culture fully?
It represents a lot of cultures
punks did graffiti first
@@sprc155 The denial is real lmao
@@cranburrey the game literally has 2-3 hip hop tracks on the radio out of 50+ lol
The part about Piranha and Boogie was really interesting to me because Piranha's profile stated her trait is "Reckless", while Boogie shows more apprehension.
This was fun to work on with y'all, and I even learned some new stuff during the making of it. I hope the rest of y'all enjoy it!
Jet set radio helped form me as a teenager and I really didnt realize how much that representation was important untill I became a parent and I saw my kid not seeing representation in a lot of games.
It really gets you thinking back a lot, right?
It turned out great! I learned a lot while helping on the project, and I’m glad I could help :)
I really can't thank you enough for all of your help with this project. Your involvement is what helped shaped this video to be really special.

JSR was one of my favorite games growing up, thank you for sharing light upon this as most don’t acknowledge this
Great video! I often think about how Black culture has shaped a plethora of games I love to this day such as Jet Set Radio, Parappa The Rapper, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, GTA: San Andreas, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (Knuckles section), The Suffering, Def Jam: FFNY, and etc. I doubt we'll get anything nowadays of that magnitude but in the 90s/2000s it was special.
I got into jet set radio because I adored the vibrant character designs, and got hooked by the epic music!
All great reasons👍
This game got me in to graffiti. Now been writing for well over a decade, caught many charges, and been up in many cities. All cuz of this
need more content creators to make an emphasis on black culture being a root source in almost every form of creative outlet in modern music history
Dude the production quality on this video is amazing! You, Vadell, Chidow, and False all did excellent work n research. JSR always had a black vibe to me because of the music and the clothing. Black artists are underrated af
Thanks for featuring my drawing of combo on the thumbnail. Love the video man keep it up. Jet set radio will live on.
Do you have a place were you post your art?
The reason I got into dj ing and production I’m in se Asia bout to get a jsrf tatt lol
😮 Jazz is black??! Who knew! That's cool since she was 1 of my mains!
from what ive seen this lil thing didnt get mentioned the voice that says understand the concept of love is actually sampled from a black panthers speech
really? the plot thickens.
Boogie has been one of my top favorites for the over 20 years I've had the game, I have a niece that's mixed and I have a best friend who is mixed as well. even though I'm white, I've heard a lot of the old school hip hop growing up and I like the music that my parents listened to when they were growing up so lots of 60's and 70's music plus the music from the decade my parents were born in the 50's.
THAT'S CRAZY ABOUT JAZZ BECAUSE SHE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER, SHES SUPER DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER CAST AND SHE STANDS OUT MORE
SAMEEE I LOVE JAZZ
DJ Professor K is a funny character in the game and when he said my favorite line of dialogue in the game
Loved this video. Shout out to muh boi Vadell!
10:59 Just realised he’s soft shaded here instead of cellshaded. I’m guessing it’s meant to resemble those shots in comics/manga that are extra detailed for whatever reason. Pretty neat!

If I wasn't playing rhyth, boogie was my go to. I actually liked her redesign in jsrf. I remember even cosplaying her as a teen haha no one know who was my character 😂😂😂
You know, the fact about Jet Set's and Future's OSTs sampling makes sense as to why SEGA didn't often rerelease Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future
One of the few games at the time, and it sticks with me to this day
I love to this day this game and it's soundtrack more, it's one of my main reasons why I wanted to produce and I'm still trying to get to this type of energy in all of my production, if you produce then most likely you're a Sega kid like me, their soundtracks are 🐐

Bomb rush cyberfunk has great black representation. Tryce alone is one of my favorite characters fr.
No kidding. I'd say that game went above and beyond. It's so good
I think Tryce is everyone's favorite character
I don't dislike Boogie; I just have a preference for Piranha/Sugar.
oh my god bro. I was looking for this type of video for so long.... so long that I was willing to make my video. thank you for putting my thoughts into video form
Hell yeaa
This video is really cool and informative, learned a lot

Jazz deserves more love and recognition 🥺
This video is fire. I love it. And now I have to listen to Return of the Mack :)
looking at sega doing this in 2000 and 2002, you really see how games today have no excuse for not doing better
Happy to see jst content
Does Marina really count since she's more like a mutant octopus?
Of course it's nice to see an octoling anchor girl for the sequel.

I still do as an adult, lol
There's been news of Phil Spencer wanting to add jsrf to the Xbox sx because of hi fi rush

Yeah, it's pretty common amongst community members that Boogie is the "inferior" design. They just don't understand her beauty😔
Hideki Naganuma produced one of the greatest OST's of all time.
