Asian Hip Hop Times
 

These two kids, SAiNT and Flashkid Summary, from Hong Kong made this music video called Crossover.  They have ruined what could have been a really great idea, having a Filipino and a Hong Kong guy rapping together on a track.  Yeah, but this song really sucks.  The guy on the right in right looks like some sort of Hong Kong pop idol or K-pop boy band wannabe.  He represents everything that I don't understand about Hong Kong pop culture with his weird hair and clothes.

NZ, from the Mongolian hip hop crew Street Man dropped a dope video called CYA.  The production combines traditional Mongolian elements infused with hip hop.  The result is a very distinct sound.  Not to mention, NZ's flow is vicious!

Booker T revisits his most embarrassing moment: "Hulk Hogan!  We comin for you nigga!"  One of the funniest pro-wrestling bloopers ever.  Props to the interviewer who brought it up with Booker T after all these years!

I'm really feelin this song: Last Hope by DMX.  It was released after he was released from jail.  You can hear the pain and the struggles in his voice.  DMX is truly the voice of the hood!

Get It Live is a fun song about letting loose and having fun in the clubs from a rapper named Fish Grease.  The club music nowadays is too superficial and egotistical.  We need more songs like this in hip hop! And by the way, Fish Grease is the younger brother of Keith Murray.

Gerry Scopez has just leaked Catch The RedEye from his upcoming RedEye Sessions project.  The production is tight, but I'm not so sure about the rapping and singing in this one.

Mondega & Bambu

Wednesday night's execution of Troy Davis via lethal injection has left everyone in the United States divided.  Some believe that Troy Davis was guilty as charged for murdering an off-duty police officer.  Others believe that Davis was an innocent man and he, being black was a victim of racial profiling.

This blog post isn't a rant on whether Troy Davis was guilty or not guilty or whether the American judicial system is prejudiced against blacks.   This post is about how two different opinions concerning Troy Davis created a rift between two Asian American rappers Mondega and Bambu who had previously collaborated together on Mondega's Music for the People back in April.

Here's how it went down.

Diaz VS Protege

Yeah, I know, the promo pic looks like a cheesy movie poster lol, but this battle from World Domination 2 in Toronto is a MUST-SEE.  Diaz, representing Canada, takes on Protege representing The Philippines.  The battle was mad heated.  Protege took the battle from the judges' decisions but both rappers really gave it their all.  Would definitely check out future battles from both rappers.
