Asian-American Rap/Music - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Hey Everybody-
I'm looking for any information on Asian-American Rap, or even any type of music made by Asian-Americans. If you can give me websites or anything that'd be awesome. Also, if anyone knows of Asian-American music used in films, or maybe any films about Asian-American rap/music culture that'd be sweet. I'm in a film class called Asian Americans and we watched a film today with these guys named the Seoul Brothers who are rappers and I'm thinking of doing a paper on the topic.
Thanks
-Amy

By far the best Asian-American rapper: Jin. He's also the best freestyler out of everyone. He's probably up there with eminem.

But yeah, if you ever saw 2 Fast 2 Furious, he's the greasemunky that stripped the cars.

Jin, best evar.

jin's freestyles are nice but as far as actually songs and stuff, i haven't been impressed. learn chinese, in my opinion, was terrible. but he does have a lot going for him, considering wyclef is producing and ruff ryders seems to be behind him.

if you want really good asian emcees, go with the mountain brothers, who are better than jin in my opinion. you can check some reviews of them at www.rapreviews.com, but as far a website for them, i'm not sure.

Yeah I agree with wordssmith22 I'm not a fan of his songs, but his freestyles are good

I haven't found any Moutain Brothers music yet, but I have heard of them. And someone else on tfp gave me a link to this guy http://www.snackychan.com
He's good and you all should check him out.
