 should this asian rapper have apologized after making a viral diss song to the san francisco mayor we're gonna talk about it because this is in a hot debate oh man this is still going viral right now first off we're gonna play a clip from chino yang song san francisco was my home then we're gonna play a clip of him apologizing for it after he got pressed let's run the clip i'm just a man trying to provide for my son and my daughter in the city with dollar on order i'm barely making the quarter out of 15 cent it's harder be a man with cooking politician want to see me getting burned now let her breathe you ain't nothing but a clown when we really needed you you would never be around you don't turn this gray city into the zombie then let's do all kind of thirst here won't try in a small town song who has the connection to presidents senators or you know the top elites i am simply a civilian so for the sake of my family and my loved ones and my close friends i like to openly and publicly make apology regard regarding of my actions and what i say in uh video i had no idea this is extremely powerful individual has so much emotional attachment to land and breathe yo andrew this is turning into some big internet news right now possibly bigger than the people involved ever could have imagined andrew chino yang is a restaurant owner in san francisco proper he makes a viral rap diss song that's actually better than you thought you know better than you would think it would be because i guess he was a chinese rapper from the rap of china like he was a contestant so he makes that song but then uh the mayor london breed or her constituency it's very unclear like basically he comes out and says that he got like threatened so but you know it's unclear whether it was in a street way or a formal infrastructure way so he issues an apology and this has made the whole news even get bigger right because a musician having to apologize for a song that they made seems like not something that should happen in 2023 although i guess he did call it a diss song it really wasn't that threatening it really wasn't that bad no honestly it sounds like something out of the 70s 60s or 50s from one of those old shows back when politics used to be really rough and tumble anyways we're going to talk about it guys please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hot pot boys also check out small i saw check out the instagram it is shipping right now still very delicious uh yeah check it out yeah real quick guys i want to preface this by saying we're not too familiar with sf politics i'm just reading the articles like everybody else i just know that people are unhappy with san francisco i'm not sure about the policies i don't think about london breed who is the mayor all the time in my mind so i'm not gonna like i'm not here to diss her specifically right i'm not saying that you should kick her out of office or anything like that even though i know there is a big movement too right now that exists i'm sure everybody can agree there's a multitude of reasons why things are the way they are but of course everybody argues over a pizza pie slice distribution i'll say this man it's sort of this crazy situation andrew where asians make up 33 percent of san francisco but they don't have 33 percent of the power like people don't treat the asian population that makes up a third of the population in san francisco like they're a group that they they take them lightly yeah and do you think people generally view that as an issue that the asians at the asians fault like they didn't step up and gain enough power throughout the years or that there was some type of system holding the asians back from gaining power in san francisco i would imagine that it was both it was a combination of people setting the traps but the people taking the cheese and falling for the traps like i said i think a lot of the asian american population in san francisco is unhappy they feel like they get targeted a lot of their concerns are not heard chino yang is one of them he owns a restaurant his restaurant been broken into six times you know there's just drug use everywhere all around his restaurant he comes out that forces him to make the rap song which is rap is the voice of like the unheard right or at least traditionally yeah that's what comes from the struggle rap but then it's so funny because as much as everybody loves rap when a chinese guy is using it to point out problems in the society and then dis the mayor who happens to be african-american all of a sudden it's not okay right because it now it looks like asian verse black right but he's also using a black art form so then that's what makes it like i guess so internet controversial then not only that andrew there probably is a disproportionate response from her camp whether london breed okay's it or not he probably got pressed on both an infrastructure official level and an informal i'm just gonna keep it real probably got pressed on a street level as well if you may me guess so then it leads now to even more speculation right right i mean andre what do you think do you think that people need in san francisco like do they need to watch the wire game of thrones house of cards succession billions the power to more understand how they cannot end up in this situation because the situation at this point it is what it is i think the way i view san francisco and like the chinese population there it's like it's tough because i think a lot of the people who made it in san francisco move out it's kind of like one of those like china town situations where china towns as a neighborhood always have trouble having political power to an extent because a lot of the powerful asians who make it in china town they move out they move to other places you're saying even a place like san mateo or like whatever kupertino yeah i'm saying like south bay essentially like anywhere anywhere around the bay right um so i think there's that kind of issue but also man i think that actually i want to applaud chino yang because uh i had actually seen his music videos a couple years ago but i think that even though he had to apologize and take down the video on his channel the song did its job people heard it and they heard how angry he was he did not make specific threats to london breed to the mayor he did call her a clown and did criticize her that's and he did say it was a diss song so maybe had he not came out specifically and said this is a diss song you think in the beginning of the song he was saying yeah man this is not a diss song it's just a real song he sort of said it's not a diss song but he said it is a diss song do you think it had anything and this is to play devil's advocate and had anything to do with his rapping style which is pretty hard like even just that sonic sounds i mean but he didn't because he didn't do the the guns and the he had no guns no weapons he was in front of a auto shop and a chinese restaurant like there's a bunch of black people in the videos you know friendly with all different types of people you know so i thought the video did its job as far as being heard and that's what i think it echoed a lot of opinions in sf right now a lot of people feel the way he feels and i think even the disproportionate response against him made this an even bigger story yes what the mayor's office should have done is taken this chance to gracefully meet him up and been like hey chino i know you made a song let's meet up and talk about it because you're the voice of your community i know you're angry but i'm going to talk to you because i'm the mayor and i have policies that are going to try to help you versus the mayor's office or whoever it was shut him down dude they try to punk him yeah they try to punk him it looks bad basically they try to treat him like a weak-ass asian yeah i think it looks bad it looks bad on them and they shouldn't have done it they could have handled it now hey man now whatever i'm not saying they did it but whoever brought that pressure on him they're gonna made this a lot bigger thing than it needed to be right right right um somebody said she went much harder on him than she has on crime um somebody said a man has nothing to do with race or color the city's problems are the result of a long and continuous series of bad policies i will agree with that and we even got to go back i think san francisco has had democratic mayors for a very long time one of which was even asian himself yeah who we had met before shot at the ed lee r.i.p but it's like i don't want to just only blame it on one person i don't think it's a continuation it's a string you know she's you know you probably don't think that she's doing a good job and she's maybe perpetuating things but it didn't start with her right maybe she's not stopping the ball but the ball was already rolling right she's probably not doing everything in her power to reverse it but it's not all her fault right because i'm sure she wants to maintain power and her constituents do a lot that's why everybody's losing faith in institutions in 2023 and all the politicians to be honest um somebody's saying man he's literally just speaking his mind i can't believe in 2023 somebody is getting shut down for using their first amendment rights this is not chicago politics or new york politics in the 1970s with like when all the mobsters used to run things the only thing is yeah because he kind of did call her out by name and calling her a clown so i think what they're probably extrapolating if i have to think about it in a different way it's like the mayor's office is probably afraid that people might throw stuff at the mayor when they see her out and start chanting that not that anything he specifically said was that hateful but that the song could spark something but you know what's wrong is because there's so many rap songs out there there's so many angry rap songs people talking about things that they don't like in those songs don't necessarily get shut down but this song got shut down so that's why i think there's some hypocriticism yeah yeah yeah i think it's hypocritical ultimately and like i said people are going to take this the wrong way i don't really i'm not fully blaming her office i think she came in as a moderate democrat that's which the platform that she ran on in the recall i'll say this um i think that they just thought it was going to make the chinese population which makes up like a third of san francisco vote against them i think it was just a simple like election calculation somebody said uh i hate how on the left and by the way guys we're very neutral on this whole issue i hate all on the left asians are supposed to fall in line and then not only are they on the left they're ranked a very low ranked person on the left yeah i think that that's really really unfortunate i think people shouldn't question that situation literally for themselves if they just watched the game of thrones um somebody just said man was it even culture was it viewed as cultural appropriation that he used rap to do the diss song against linda breed chinese guy raps he's appropriating i don't know i don't think so yeah i mean i feel like rap honestly i mean dude he has that he has a chinese accent like he's from he's born there in china but raised in san francisco like this dude is it's like more authentically chinese than when i talk you know what i mean because he has a accent so i don't know anyways anyway that's not our argument that's just getting to our takeaways i'll say this man i think that like i said i i don't know what everybody's like political leanings are whatever i think that this issue can easily get political but i guess for me my biggest takeaway that i don't see being discussed online is how can the asian-american population of san francisco at 33 get to a point where they're just not getting bullied around or not people aren't trying to punk them like they're a pushover i don't know yeah it's tough i mean i guess they i mean they gotta people gotta know how power works right yeah like i said i mean i don't know how else to do it i don't know if watching animes or playing maple story gets you there when you're saying more watch house of cards game of thrones the wire yes political shows yeah and it's like those are the most entertaining ways that you can see the 50 laws of power on display yes those are fictional stories but they're a compilation and you know a more exaggerated entertaining form of real stories it's true that those shows will give you some insight into how politics work and you gotta know how politics work in order to gain political power it is true i agree you have to know how politics work and a lot of asians don't want to think about it whether or not they understand it they don't want to think about it because they're just like so focused on work and they're like nah like i gotta do my dance for my they want to get matcha croissant no or what the matcha croissant no take out the matcha croissant in the bulb shops i'm just saying like i just want to cook chinese food serve it and make money for my family that is that's a simple way to do it and that's not wrong but there's this other side of it where political power comes in and it is more nuanced and it is more savvy you gotta have you almost got to speak another language it's way more complex like there's another total language and i'm not talking about like english and chinese i'm saying there's another language of speaking politics and playing that game that a lot of people are not into so that's why you do need more homegrown asian politicians just like you would tell any group that wants representation for their constituency they have to produce a legit politician from there you have to so that's it hey man learn the game or get burned by the game let us know what you think of this whole situation i think i hopefully it works out for chino yang hopefully sf gets right on track whoever the leader is i'm not endorsing or going against for anybody just explaining the situation let us know what you think in the comment section below guys this story just keeps getting bigger and if more details come out i don't know it'll play out like a tv show itself anyway guys let us know what you think in the comment section below until next time i'm gonna hop off boys we out peace
