Asian Rappers

Asians are the next big thing, especially goofy ones with funny names.

Sonny Bonoho is down with Playboy Tre/Homebwoi/BME/Bohagon and them. As those guys start to get attention, Bonoho will too.

"Get Down" w/ Playboy Tre

"Telling You" w/ Playboy Tre and Elijah

Hunstville's own Jackie Chain is pretty funny. His name is awesome and he is down with Paper Route/Slow Motion Soundz/Block Beataz, so his production is amazing. Huntsville is deep.

"Rollin" is a great song. The beat is perfect.

Chops is finally getting recognized for his superior carpet (rug?) bagging as well.

Any non-backpack strapped AZNZ that I am missing?

Found this battle on youtube. Elemental crushed him with his flow. Dumbfounded got some funnyass punchlines though. Give Dumbfounded more battles and he'll improve.

peace Above-Beyond, never heard of Nish Raawks nor his crew before.

cool calm pete is dope though (mostly for his production, though he has a passable rap style)

also: he has done a song with thirsten howl, which should wipe away any faggotry that he may have acquired via association with def jux.

Jackie Chain "Blinded by the Light"

The greatness of Mali Boi lies in the fact that he can make fantastic beats out of samples that would make the 98 Hitmen cringe.

Surprised there hasn't been a SMS/PRR thread here yet

blastmaster · Post by **blastmaster** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 8:13 pm

^ I think there has been. Maybe it was just you and I in another thread though... Either way, they deserve more attention than just The Fader and Urb.

I think KRS-One, Gza, Evidence, Def Jux and The Last Poets would probably disagree:

Lyrics Born (Nuff said. Did a track featuring KRS and Evidence.)
http://www.myspace.com/lyricsborn

Delicious Venom (Ill rhymes! The Last Poets gave them a big up.)
http://www.myspace.com/deliciousvenom

Big Chan (Dope delivery and beats! Gza did a track with him. A DOPE track):
http://www.myspace.com/snackchizzel

Cool Calm Pete (Ill lyricist! Did a track with RJD2 and another one with Aesop Rock)
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4_gnTkf_sjY

Mountain Brothers. (Nuff said.)
www.myspace.com/imonapaperchase

There are more but not that I can think of off the top of my head right now.
I like good music. I really don't care if they're purple or green colored. If they make dope music, then they make dope music..

Naw, you're missing the point. Derailing the topic was intentional when you start off with this statement:

blastmaster wrote:Asians are the next big thing, especially goofy ones with funny names.

and end with this:

blastmaster wrote:Any non-backpack strapped AZNZ that I am missing?

Using the term "AZNZ" spelled like that is condescending and can be offensive to people, esp in the context of what you're discussing. Asian-Americans emcees don't get the right recognition to begin with, let alone most people don't know they exist. So it's no wonder you got posters such as reason is yellow and hustler on some ignorant shit.

The Rapping Coffin wrote: don't worry i'm sure they'll post plenty more asian rappers who know their elementz, can freestyle battle rap acapella, and have aids

The Rapping Coffin, let's be more civil. Got no time for racist bigotry.

That being said, I believe you (blastmaster) were trying to have a genuine discussion on these artists who you feel are "legit."

So here's my 2 cents. Watching the first vid of Sonny Bonoho made me cringe. Jackie Chain isn't a dope rapper imo yet I dig the beat on Rollin' and how the producer (what's his name?) sampled the techno beat Children (Dream Version) by Robert Miles.
