@ericfowler ummmmm...i mean if thats your opinion thats fine...but I think Grieves is amazing as well and I guess you can put Sage Francis in there as well, although he does spoken rap, all three of them have amazing views, amazing metaphors and all that, and they dont rap about stupid things...but ya just my opinion, yours is fine too i guess

dope vid. i think alot of asians need to be more supportive for their own ppl also work together in hiphop culture. we are truly the 2nd generation of immigants who came to america and we face the difficulties of adapting and blending in this new society
