| | i think pretty much im getting old.. not necessarily more mature, cus im still a kid at heart, but old. cause xanga and myspace and facebook and crap doesnt interest me anymore. instead at work im going through multiple blog sites about korean politics (seriously i cant believe it myself, what a fag i am?)
well while taking a part of and commenting in this web community about politics, i came to realize how rare of a breed i am. i would say korean-american is rare in the first place, since there are so many more Americans and Koreans than Korean-Americans. but even among korean-americans i think i am different, and i've only met a handful of people that are similar to me. i have a vast interest in korea, and everything about it, whether its politics or culture. im sure quite a few korean americans might be able to relate to me in some sense, but so far i havent run into anyone that spends their free time reading weblogs and personal opinions about korean media and politics.
which brings me to my next point, korean hip hop. i have a shitload of fuckin amazing korean hip hop songs, that im sure most of you guys never heard in your life. if you know me well enough you know i love music and my taste in music is the shit. but the thing is, no one appreciates korean hip hop. in america, the only big names in korean hip hop are the likes of drunken tiger and some gay shit like 1tym and stuff, which is just sad. the few pioneers of korean hip hop made korean hip hop's image in america into shit by acting stupid and sucking in music. in korea, the hip hop fanbase is so small, and whether it's because of the lack of promotion or lack of interest from the general public, it just doesn't take off. i feel bad for some of these good artists, cause some of them have some raw talent.
so basically ive come to the conclusion that only those few ppl that are similar to me can appreciate korean hip hop, and really in my lifetime, ive come across maybe five people total that are like me. i kno there are probably some more out there, but no one really talks about these things yano?
ask me to send you some of my fav korean hip hop songs. you know i'll be more than happy to share my favorite music.
tell me you how you like the music, be honest. if you like it, it will make my day 1000 times.
this song is called mirror, by yang dong gun.
some heartwarming pictures from germany/korea
