Fun Korean stuff

A recent trip to Uwajimaya, the city's one-stop shopping center for all your Asian grocery needs and a respectable Asian book, movie and music store too, reminded us of the last great unexplored frontier in contemporary popular art: Korean hip-hop. Apparently, the rhythm and cadence of the Korean language perfectly suits the rap milieu, and it is widely rumored (in the Harvard East Asian Languages Department anyway) that Korean rap is the best in the world. YouTube helped us test this hypothesis when we got home. The results? See for yourselves . . .

(Beware: it is actually Korean-American. And not very hardcore. Still, catchy and fun enough that I have been seen dancing around and butchering the song since I heard it.)

Also, while the following is not technically rap, it is technically awesome.
