Just reupped the 21-track Bodega Pop exclusive album here.
Listen to "Chi Pheo"
Listen to "Hello Moto"
Listen to "Hai Vi Sao"
Listen to "Ca Va Luoi Bieng"
Listen to "Oi Nguoi Dep"
In the middle of a pleasant if innocuous conversation with the woman behind the counter of the cavernous Vietnamese media store on Argyle Street right off the Red Line in Chicago, I suddenly remembered to ask, "Oh, um, do you have any Vietnamese rap music?"
Her brow furrowed. "Have you heard any Vietnamese rap music?" she asked. I couldn't quite get the hidden meaning here, which I assumed was either: (a) because it doesn't exist, you poor delusionally optimistic white liberal type person; or (b) because I think it's going to induce projectile vomiting in you.
It turned out she meant (b) and just assumed that I would hate what the Vietnamese--Vietnamese-Americans, I believe--are doing with the genre.
Wrong.
