Please add a reply to submit your artist. I'll only accept one submission for each Asian country (except if your country consists of multiple languages/ethnicities). The song(s) must be in the native language (a few English words are fine). I'll update this post to reflect any new submissions. Please, no trolling! Just showcasing the Asian rap music scene, since I'm curious to see what other Asian countries are listening to. Now let's get started.

it features sam l.o.g and anita(from nalins mv)

http://www.imeem.com/people/dGGgG1V/music/DTCqdj2K/track-1/

Thanks for your submission. However, I'm interested in adding a rap song in the Khmer language and other Asian languages. Do you have something in Khmer for me to add?

That's a cool song. Thanks for letting us know about it. But since I don't want more than one song per country, if enough Lao members prefer the song above then I'll replace my submission with yours.

Cambodian

Killa Team (English)

Here is the ones in Khmer since you said you wanted to hear the ones in our language
Khmer Thugz (Khmer Raggaeton)

Khmer Rap Boyz (Khmer)
Straight from Cambodia with fine @$$ Khmer chicks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4C-KQHYc14

Remember when rap was about social injustice, the unfair conditions of the hood ect...

It became too powerful, it scared whitey, then what happened... whitey then turned it into a profitable business, dumbed down the lyrics, and made eveyone turned on one another.

Rap is for stupid retards.

you forgot HMONG!! :P

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrKoGmkA41A

in english or the native language?

oh well, ill just throw out a few that ive come across for chinese...

canto:

Point Blanc - Meng Wan

mando:

大喜门 中国人
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_-uwPw89Lo


my fav is this though
chinese singer and korean rapper. (rapping is in english). i always thought this song was ahead of its time and that more songs should have eng rapping with asian chorus. sounds so good...imo.

Yuki Hsu feat. Yoo Seung Jun -- Can't Wait
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocWII95hlhE

naw, I didn't forget. Thanks for your submission, but I'm looking for a song in the Hmong language.



Cool concept...but it's too bad that he's rapping in English. What's the best rap song in the Korean language?

Does anyone have a higher-resolution uploaded copy of this video? If so, please send me the YouTube link. The low-resolution uploaded copy is giving me a headache. Thanks!

HMONG:

Logo & Duce Khan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5z93pcBEQw
Tsis K - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2-II3OjToc
R.A.R.E. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0hI-mXDjDU
Plucky Xiong - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm6y5GIwmLk

Thanks for the links. I'm actually looking for a Hmong rapper from either Laos, Thailand, or China. I'd like to showcase native Asian rappers (i.e. the ones who don't live in western countries like the U.S.). I'd like to hear the various types of rap music that people are listening to in each Asian country.

But for now, I'll add one of your links until someone submits a native Hmong rap song. Thanks!

Japanese?

cmon, they are awesome, asian rap can learn from them ....

Shounen Heart- Home Made Kazoku
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjWr3v9G0Bo

after you get all the songs are you gonna put it into one video to showcase all of them?

What does NGENTOT mean?

I would but I don't want to deal with the copyright issues...

Anyway, it's interesting to me how each Asian country has their own "flavor" or take on western rap music.

yeah you're right youtube's an @$$ to deal with now

I don't understand any filipino but that filipino rap song you posted go hard as hell! Sounds the dopest out of all that has been posted.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF_D7Ct8MU4...feature=related

this has become one of my fav threads lol. great idea and concept. its nice to see people actually participating.

oh ya, i was wondering if taiwan had a spot? because there are some very good jay chou hip hop songs.

Glad to hear that...there's nothing better than the universal language of music. Anyway, I still haven't received any submissions from Malaysia, Thailand, Mongolia, India, and Singapore.

As far as Taiwan is concerned, please submit a link to a good Taiwanese rap song.

ok! Taiwan

Jay Chou - Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w3yG_l_5Dc

my own personal thoughts is that this beat is fire. in case it wasnt obvious, i have this weird amazement for mixing eng rap with asian stuff...i think a skilled asian rapper could kill this beat in english. oh ya, and having jet li in the music vid puts it over the top for me. i also really respect jay chou, his songs are so diverse, his lyrics are meaningful, he compose and writes them himself, awsome live....list goes on. very talented fellow imo.

the best rap ever !

^ oh my gawd .........................

Ahem


Lets me nominate this one instead

Thailand
Buddha Bless (Stab down the lemongrass)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_6yC-8UMKA
In Thai & Khmer believe ,if we lets the virgin girl stab the lemongrass upside down in the rice field ,then the rain will stop. In this MV they sacrasm in the way that it hard to find virgin chick lately.

Actually I am a fan of Rock and funk than HipHop or R&B. Cell is nice though.



And for the funny one

Chalawan: too many vulgar words and not that Rap though

(More of an R&B/Hip Hop than rap but I love the beat)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfIiVjkF5Is...feature=related
(More DJ Sdey. Dope Song right chea!)

I think the video is cool, but he raps too slow in that song. Here's a better one:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2xo-ND7QnI

But I agree, it is one of the better videos that has been posted on here. A lot of the other ones are wannabe gangster rappers. They look dumb.

Filipino kid who can rap

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkubngCHBwM

You should get a more serious song for Thailand's entry

came across this Lao rapper. not bad.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIND3JLHlFc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W5dPkP7zTY

haha that's cool.

If you're not happy with it, I think you should ask the Thai members to submit a more serious song. That song was the first submission I got from Aeroforce (a Thai member). He seems to like it so that's good enough for me. I'm not going to dictate what the Thais should like or dislike. I don't live in Thailand so I don't know what they're listening to over there.

the first Japanese rap? in 1950
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFleGf5deLc

hehe that was pretty interesting.

LAOS:
L.O.G. - EE Yang Ga Dai
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze9ByPtN6jo

Does anyone know the name of the club in Vientiane where the live performance was filmed?

Indonesia:

Ras Muhamad - Musik reggae ini
Disciples - Berharap padaMu
Sweetmartabak - Ada sumur di ladang

Koko ni Iru yo- SoulJa ft. Thelma Aoyama ENG SUBBED

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4pL6MdReQw

haha I like this one!

Indonesia :

1. Project Pop "Metal VS Dugem"

2. Iwa K "Bebas"

3. Sweet Martabak " Tid di dit"

4. Neo " Borju"


@ savan :"ngentot" is a dirty word, never use it to indonesian people unless u're looking for a fight

LOL! Alright. In the Lao language, "tot" by itself means Fart...hehe...so I was just curious as to the meaning of the Indonesian word "ngentot". Is there a direct translation for it?

Hmmm I dunno what to think of this one...hehe...it doesn't sound like rap music.

ngentot is just like the F word
tot? same as in thai isn't it? we say 'kentut' (pron. ken-toot)
does tut / tooht mean gay in lao, just like in thai?


All of them are comedy acts except for iwa k, he's like the hiphop hero from the 90s.. I don't like him
I prefer this chinese dude from Indo:
Davius - Ni hau ma

Malaysia:
Phlowtron featuring V.E - Adikku pandai menari

Did you know that the Tagalog word for fart is "utot", whereas the Lao/Thai way is just "tot"?...hehehe...what a coinky dink, eh?

As for the Thai slang "tut"/"tooht" for gay, I don't believe we use that slang term in the Lao language. In our language, the word for gay is Kateuy.

The following is a good video clip to demonstrate the similarities and differences between the Lao language and the Thai language. Alexandra Bounxouei is a Lao singer who speaks Lao to the two Thai talkshow hosts. As you will hear, Alexandra and the Thai talkshow hosts have no problems communicating with one another despite them speaking different languages. Alexandra will also demonstrate her language skills by singing songs in Bulgarian, English, and Japanese, with the last song being in the Lao language.
