apature

I went to the apature event on saturday. The speakers were talking about Asian then American - then hip hop culture, and the one thing that stuck in my head by the end of it was--What is the difference between rap and hip hop? and Why aren't asian americans featured in this genre? RAP- i beleive is a representation of where you (or the person rapping) came from. rap tells a story of hardship, experiences and the kind of life the rapper lived. HIP HOP - is party music, its easy to listen to, its fun, it easy to dance to, and mainly (now a days) talks about sex, drugs, and money. Where has rap and hip hop originated? = African- American culture. So when can the sounds of Asian American be heard? What does Asian American music sound like? our generation has yet to hear.... since the music that asian americans compile end up copying the rock genre or copying the rap/hip hop genre... rock orginated in the U.S. and hip hop/rap originated in the U.S. as well...so what would truly original asian american music sound like?
