um
there has been a countless number of threads about "hiphop" shops in japan
also, there's the store listing on the SF main page.

One store you should check out (and not yet cleaned out by foreign hypebeasts) is LUMP in harajuku. It's close to bounty hunter. They carry rebirth, whiz, and some other shit.

the most "trendy" / underground / hiphop stuff are
located in aoyama, daikanyama, shibuya, and harajuku.
