I just discovered Epik High. They're Korean hiphop... laugh all you want but these guys are okay!

(even though 1/4 of it is english)

I always thought that asian languages would sound better at rapping - since they're more syllabic orientated than other languages.

I went through a phase of loving japanese and spanish hiphop as well

Something really appealing about not understanding what they're saying. You're actually appreciating their aesthetic and music, rather than their attitude, lyricism or image.
yer epik high is pretty hot.

se7en is cool tooo (also korean)

edit: bigbang also (y)

I cringe when they say "time is ticking". Keep rapping in korean!!

The music video is sooo hot

the actress, christ, I want to look like HER!

You probably don't care but I experimented with my asian look: I would paint my nails black, have a blunt cut fringe, and long black hair... not gothic but this look I can't describe... she fucking pulls it off that bitch!

Anyway, I love that song too. Even when the chick sings. Just when they speak english.... it ruins it.
