lol i forget bout dude, the fact that hes korean and i see him around doesnt make me think of a "rapper" per say, more like just that one other korean dude that i see around ktown but he can rap.
hes dope, i give him his dues, but us being both korean and seeing how many koreans just ride his nuts because hes "korean" after he blew up makes me lose respect for him.
i like him no doubt, and hes basically reppin koreans in the game, hes a dope lyricists n all prob one of the best in LA but i just dont like all the "fake love" he gets from people that dont know a lick about hip hop.
i dont put his tracks on rotation, dont get me wrong some of his songs are dope, but his bread and butter is battling, thats what made me like him and follow him. its just dissapointing that i dont see him do that anymore.
yes u got to expand but thats what blew him up, and most of his songs are meh..., his freestyling is wtvrs nothign special but those written battles were something else, on a whole nother level.
ive been following him since WRC07's, and hes improved alot and im happy for him. he probably is the best asian american MC out there right now.
if u want to see what made dumbfoundead blow up, type in "dumbfoundead vs" on you tube and youll get all his grindtime battles.
the only thing i dont like about dumb, is he lies, saying that "all his friends are mexican or black" no that aint true, yea his family wasnt really well off, but dude went to the school in the valley, he didnt go to school in the "hood" (lol cuz it aint) like he says but it wasnt much different from the valley any ways.

Like someone else said, Dumbfoundead is from Koreatown. He was popular from battling on Grind Time. Dude is talented, but his music is just alright. I met him earlier this year at one of those battles (I think it was Battle of L.A. 4) even though he wasn't participating... cool guy.
Roscoe Umali has gotten some buzz (and I think he was on that one Lakers song remix over Beamer Benz or Bentley). I bump Bambu too... Filipino guy from the Valley, but he kicks it in other parts of LA and goes to Watts sometimes. I'm not sure but I think he was from STS.

This is the second time I'm hearing that bambu is from the valley...I doubt this, I thought he was from watts? I saw bambu perform last year at mission college out in sylmar and he said it was his first time being in the valley, other than being locked up at juvie in sylmar. He said he knew some people in pacoima but that's it, so I'm disputing this...and yeah, I'm thinking he was from santanas, he throws it up in his new video 'fish', and you also see it tatted on his hand in 'grown folk music' video...its crazy cuz one of my best friends growing up was from sts and I used to kick it with them sometimes, which was ill cuz I'm mexican but it was all luv...

Out of Bambu's catalog, I bump Chairman Mao, Truth Serum, Gunshots and Two Brains. There are some other good ones on there too.

A cousin of mine met him at the airport, and she was from North Hollywood and she remembered him saying he was from the Valley too because that was something that they had in common. I just watched the "Fish" video after you mentioned it (and noticed your comment since it was so much like your post, haha), and he definitely throws up the STS pitchfork at 1:17. There's no Satanas in Watts (though there is in practically every direction from there, haha), but there is in the Valley, though there were cliques set up by both LA and LB (which you probably know).
Who did you know from STS? And from which clique? You can PM me if you don't want to say it on here.

Exactly.
-
well middle easterners are not asian that's my point
-
you can get technichal in many ways im from cali..
In USA, most people refer to Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. as Asians.
Middle Eastern is used for people from Arab countries, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc. (even though Pakistan is technically in South Asia and Afghanistan is technically in Central Asia).
In Europe, people are more acceptable to refer to Middle Easterners as Asians
-
Physical geography doesn't necessarily dictate who is "Asian." If that were the case, then Russians would be Asian too, since more of Russia is part of Asia than it is part of Europe. But obviously no one classifies Russians as being "Asian," even though it is mostly in Asia.
-
LMAO.. why are they called african's when it was Ethiopia originally.. we can get into a huge geographical historical debate... this will never end because truth be told a lot of our history is covered up anyways so its all our interpretations. I was just trying to see who out of the Asian community or Polynesian community were dope artist... and ive heard some new talent ive never heard of b4 so good looking out lets spread hip hop music accross the land and seas.. 8)
-
Yeah I know, I wasn't debating with you. If anything, I did recommend Bambu before anyone else did. Check his stuff out.
-
That's what i did i checked him out after i read about some of the other dudes mentioning about STS... STS besides LA and the Valley is out in the Oxnard Area also..

middle easterners arnt considered asians here. as far as that goes, only indians are considered "asian" but usually they're their own thing

Yeah, apparently Bambu was from there. I never knew for sure but assumed that he was, but Chuck Knoxxx mentioned that Bambu throws up their sign in his "Fish" video which was released just a couple of weeks ago.
-
Ironic how far east countries are considered to be the definitions of Asian. The first people to be called Asians were probably indians or middle easterns cause geographically they're way closer to Europe.

Not in America it aint. To the US, Asian means yellow skin. I lol whenever some cultural difference points out the Europeans.
-
^ But people like Filipinos, Samoans, etc. have brown skin... definitely not yellow. Even during World War II, the U.S. referred to Filipinos as their "brown brothers."

There's race and then there's ethnicity. Which are you talking about? I've seen brown-skinned filipino and yellow-skinned filipino. I'm pretty sure the thread-starter is talking about race or they wouldn't be asking for "west coast" rappers.

who gives a fuck
but flips were considered asians, some still consider themselves asian too,

Indeed, lol.
