- One thing I forgot to mention in my last article about Seoul was
- the state of popular music in Korea. It still sucks. Seo Tae Ji and the
- Kids really need to stop singing and dressing like NKOTB. And to all the
- fans of Hyun Jin Young, I have one word: Malcolm! X stands for Malcolm, not
- Hyun Jin Young. What really shocked me was, though, was the amount of
- sampling going on. These 'singers' were passing off other rappers works
- as their own--one of them even proudly proclaimed that he, Big Daddy Kane and
- DWI started the rap scene. Just before I left, the government legislated
- a tougher laws for software copyright protection, and if they don't do the
- same for music, someone's going to make David Bowie-Vanilla Ice suit look
- miniscule.
