Throwback Thursday (TBT): 大家有在看大嘻哈時代The Rappers嗎？說真的，我覺得很妙的是，很多次當人家在談台灣嘻哈這個話題時，好像不少人都不記得or不知道我也是台灣嘻哈故事當中的一部分⋯。
當年我回來台灣想一起幫助把台灣嘻哈弄起來，和大支，熱狗，J.Wu一起加入了大馬戲團。我記得那時有多難搞，那時嘻哈音樂在台灣非常的不受到重視，很多唱片公司都抱持存疑的態度。
The struggle was real....
最後終於我們可以發行了個人的專輯s和MVs，打開了這扇門，所以也因爲有我們這些朋友走過，也才有今天的台灣嘻哈環境。不過沒關係啦，你們知道就好了！但是呢，If YOU don't know....... YOU bettah ask somebody!!!!!!! 😆
Oh btw, 農曆新年快樂 y’all! 🐂 Rock on!!! 🤘
So a new show came out in Taiwan called, “Hip Hop Era: The Rappers”. In it, they talk to a few OGs about the history of hip hop in Taiwan and how the culture developed and grew. It’s a pretty good show, but it also reminded me of how whenever people talk about the history of hip hop in Taiwan, people either forget, or don’t know that I, this American kid from Houston, was a part of the struggle to grow hip hop in Taiwan.
Man, back when I first got to Taiwan, the hip hop community was SO small, and the crew I joined that consisted of Dwagie, MC HotDog, and J.Wu worked so hard to share and expand hip hop in the country. I still remember how record companies didn’t understand it, and couldn’t fathom the thought of releasing a full-length hip hop album. 😂 The struggle was real....
Finally, after a lot of hustlin’, grindin’, and persevering, we all got to release our albums and MVs with a major label, thus helping to pave the way for all the young bucks coming up now. Today, hip hop in Taiwan has really blown up, and I’m blessed to have been a part of the journey to get it to where it is now. Maybe bc I tend to keep a lower profile, many people in Taiwan don’t know some of this stuff. That’s ok, as long as in my heart I know. lol But, if YOU don’t know....... YOU bettah ask somebody!!!!!!! 😆
Happy Lunar New Year y’all! 🐂 Rock on!!!🤘
