So...uh...rap music?

[RichyCunningham]

So, I decided I want to get into some foreign language rap music since it's always entertaining to diversify yourself in any way possible.

Nonetheless, I'm Korean so I figured I would start in the Korean rap genre. So far this has to be one of my favorite songs:



Pretty much it's about his grandma dying and him wishing he could have spent more time with her.

Also, I have been listening to some Bushido which I would assume some of you Europeans would know:


I don't really understand anything Bushido says but it sounds great and the beats are unique and not auto-tuned.

P.S.

This guy is an embarassment to Koreans everywhere:


In the end what I need from you guys is to give me your best. I want to expand my music collection and not just keep it contained with American artists.


DIVERSIFY ME!

It's so very white boy of me, but Mos Def's new album (The Ecstatic) is terrific from beginning to end. You can also always count on Talib Kweli to put out good shit as well. Common's not bad either.

1) Awful

I have Mos Def and his new album is okay. I still like his older material. It made more of a statement lyrically. Talib Kweli is AMAZING and is literally a lyrical wordsmith. Common is meh. I like him better as an actor.
