We all know about Q-bert




anyone heard this album?

Jin - The Rest is history

After 2000, I became allergic to Ruff Ryders.

I've heard some Korean rap. That's the most hilarious shit ever.

blah... bored:

Oh my God. Chinese rap. I mean, I am open to new cultural experiences and everything... but I am not THAT OPEN.

there wre two japanese girls rapping in the first "Blade" Movie. anybody remeber that?? that shit was crazy funny

I'm waiting for local artist Equazn to put out his album this year.

Yeah, Ruff Ryderz iz played out. I don't think Eve even quotes them anymore.

I saw Jin at a panel on Asians in hip hop. He came off as a very passionate emcee.

Uh, have you heard these folks rhyme or are you just speaking out of your neck?

I'm trying hard NOT to think this comment's racially-fueled.

Anyone watch DJ QBert's Wave Twisters DVD?

Methinks you're overreacting just a tad.

I don't know any Asian hip-hop...but I'm a Ayumi Hamasaki and Hikaru Utada Fanatic!

Let's just hope that's the case.

JANFAN4L said:

does she still "appear courtesy of Ruff Ryders" for all those cameo raps?

CinisterCee said:

No. She has definitely distanced herself from that camp. She's bigger than them now.

JANFAN4L said:

She's technically still signed to them though, right?... is what I'm getting at, paperwork-wise.

Am I the only one who remembers Jin from when he used to kill all challengers on "Freestyle Friday" on 106 and Park?

However, the only actual track off his cd I heard was that "Learn Chinese" song. I found it kind of stupid and was not impressed.

vanity69 said:

nah, I'm pretty sure that's still his claim to fame.

vanity69 said:

It was wack.. its very hard for a asian dude to be taken serious in the HIP HOP game... Im sure JIN has skillz.. there is numerous asians whom have not only HIPHOP skillz but RnB too.. but there have been no major artists to "make it"....

Race plays a major factor.. and african american listeners.. would have to really be impressed to embrace an asian whom sings and raps there music.

Surprised no one mentioned DJ Honda

Fear no. I just happened to listen to a Chinese webradio station that played Chinese rap. And let me just tell you, I've heard all the most extreme powernoise / deathindustrial / grindcore -albums in the world, but that stuff was just vile! It was truly hardcore, just in the most unexpected way. I don't think even the performers themselves are aware of their brand of hard-coreness. I mean I've heard all kinds of ethnic rap music: Armenian rap, Somalian rap - even Bosnian rap. But Chinese rap is completely out of this world. It's truly a "" -type of experience.
