Forget Domination, dictators. Forget 2012, predicters. Forget alien invasion, scientists and sci fi-lovers. Cause Watch out World, for the Asian Invasion. XD
Never had a video do so much for my spirit, as does this one. For me, it's rare to feel connected, it's hard when u live in OC's Little Saigon Bubble...where white supremacy Vietnam Vets retired, and where the schools made sure the youth could not b inspired. It sux, cuz for my generation here...we all lost in our world of thoughts, & there's no path where the light isn't lost. Much apprecation for puttin together something so special. <3Lynh
Lol, on the internet I see asians wanting to prove themself to not fall in the category "stereotype asian" which seem to be some kind of mix between a funny accent/asian culture/being nerdy and weird. Meanwhile me and my friends got nothing but respect for asians, for example they got some of my favorite rappers, intresting culture and from what I've seen a really much love in their heart! So yeah, being the "stereotype asian" means, from me and my friends point of view that you're awesome!
This video is roots for me, this is the feel, vibe, creativity, spirit, conscious awareness, and community growing up Asian American in the bay area. Good job connecting everybody and this video is hella icey fresh!!!
MAAAAAAAAAAAAAN you guys got blue scholars and typical cats... and i always thought it would be pretty funny if far east movement and magnetic north did a song together.. close enough?
Hey fam! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT! Many people have emailed about a mp3 download as well as lyrics, so we updated the description info above with all of that for ya'll. =) HAPPY APIA HERITAGE MONTH!
LOVE this video, soooo worth the time and effort put into collecting vids and collaboration. I can't wait to use this for my spoken word/poetry workshops with kids in detention. Much respect.
y'all showed a tremendous level of class with this track and approach to the video. very classy . . . and honorable. it takes us all (artists, journalists, youth, students, educators, healers) to move our community.
AMAZING vid, thank you for spending the time to CREATE something new for our community. Grace Lee Boggs in a recent conversation in New York City said something along the lines of, "It is important to create new truths, not confirm old ones" and this video does exactly that. Thank you so much! I will also be looking up artists from this vid who I don't know about already!
Either someone's finger slipped when trying to click like or he/she doesn't know how to appreciate progress, unity, and our reasons for celebrating APAHM. Love the song and video, awesome awesome collaboration. Now I need to look up the artists I don't already know :)
Damn, this was beautiful. Before another clueless movie director or producer is looking to cast "A nerdy, timid Asian with a heavy accent," they should take a look at this video. These are the faces and voices of Asian America. Fuckers. This definitely needs more views. Where are all the Wong fu and NigaHiga viewers at?
These are dark times--labor is under final siege, educators are getting witch hunted, and our public services are collapsing. When I saw this, I teared up cause it reminded me of all the brightness in our community and I felt hope--not that magic bean hope that we got sold in 2008--real to honest hope that we can build and beautifully reach through and triumph.
man... yoo, its ALEXANDERontheMIC from way back when! This is awesome, really truly inspiring.. i hope one do to share the stage with you guys again! i've been blasting this constantly on Facebook and Tweeting it lol
MNTN, you guys have done something incredibly, incredibly powerful. Derek, you are an amazing soul. This video is one of the most amazing pieces of art I've seen. The more I watch it the more moved I feel. Thank you for bringing our community together--it's a priceless gift. Y'all are gonna kill me, my physical body is seriously unable to handle what I'm experiencing inside. So blessed and honored to be family.
wow, that's an amazing lineup, and amazing video. thank you! thank you for bringing everyone together; cross careers, ages, accomplishments, contributions....what an inspiring show of what can be possible if you believe. thank you.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa honored to be included with so many sung and unsung heroes! thank you derek tvu and taiyo for creating a beautiful monument to asian america!
It's great to see all these asian americas that made it.. takes twice as much work to get just as far. We should all be supportive of each other and really break through!! Happy to see Jin part of this project, he's definitely one of the pioneers!
This is such an inspiring video! -3 The song plus the footage work so well together. I feel so proud to be Asian-American. This is such a great community. :)
Hell of a video. Hell of a collaboration. Hell of a reason to celebrate. Blessed to be invited to participate in this project. Happy APIA heritage month indeed. - DANakaDAN
wow...pretty much all my biggest inspirations are here except a few.... sick song, sick video. Definitely a HUGE inspiration. All of you, continue doing what you all do best, cause one day, us Asian-Americans are going to break through just as Far East Movement has. Big props
