why not just listen to non-korean artists , then ?

there aren't any mainstream korean rappers in the states if that's what you're after .

Snacky Chan, he's aight
didn't know any of FEM were Korean but yeah, you can listen to them

there're more Vietnamese-American rappers I can think of, actually. the most mainstream Asian-American rapper is Jin the Emcee, and he's Cantonese-speaking Chinese.

Hey, look! Finally a different signature after all these years!

yeah, Jin is good, but he's not Korean. he has two albums, one as Jin and one as Jin the Emcee. The Emcee's Proper?ganda is a decent album. check it out. he was the champion of that BET thing like 8 times in a row, there's some international freestyle contest he won this year for the fifth time, and his video for Learn Chinese was the first music video played on MTVChi. i actually heard Learn Chinese on the radio once...really late at night, on a less popular station...oh yeah, he collabed with Japanese rapstar Sphere of Influence on a track called Yo Yo Ma, and he raps in both English and Cantonese on that track. he's better at rapping in canto than most of the sh.t rappers out of Hong Kong--i actually enjoy listening to his canto rap without having to get used to it first.

Hey, look! Finally a different signature after all these years!

lol.. dont dismiss an entire genre over one example. he makes thug music; its just his particular swagger. if you find it offensive then peep snacky chan; "apologies" and "lonely road" are great songs from him with some respectable lyrical content in them.. i listen to isiah/sk strictly for his insane flow
