That was awful.

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrring.

Nobody liked it? I thought it was cool. Their timing was awesome, and I really liked the rhythms and cadences. I liked the part about, "Am I your personal translator?" I'd be irritated, too, if someone asked me to translate a personal conversation I was having with my sister. All up in my business... I'd tell them to step, too. And all that, "Ni hao ma, I love you, China doll?" That's like the, "Hello, how much, are you Russian?" questions that us white girls get all the time. I should make the white girl in Korea version of that jam. Grrl power!!

pretty ordinary... my asian knowledge is better than theres, my Korean is better than the ugly one... whats her beef?? damn i hate this poetry crap, all it is, is acappella rap. I prefer mine with beats thanks... plus Russel Simmons is a knob. I hate him with a passion, he's not furthering a culture hes oestrecising it

it's funny, i thought of nrvs's avatar when i first heard that.

if you like american racism and sexism, you'll love korean racism and sexism.

if you like the dumb questions westerners ask koreans, you'll love the dumb questions koreans ask westerners.

regarding the poetry itself, i just think all of that stuff is so corny. makes me cringe in a sympathetic feeling of embarrassment. but that's with almost all spoken word poetry coming out of new york.

i thought the poet in the interview sounded pretty sensible. thanks for posting it.
