there are a small group of rock and metal fans. i am one of them. but rock/metal "died" in the 90s. kinda like here in the states. the chinese metal band tang dynasty is seriously one of my favorite band ever. one of the reason that i don't buy/listen to much of the current chinese music is that, most of them are american pop/hip hop rip offs with some addition of chinese flavor. i'm really sick and tired of taiwan, hong kong singers. although, recently, more mainland artists with real talent are starting to show up. so i'm starting to pick up on it. there are people who know the more popular rap/rock/pop artists in US, but in a smaller number to britney spears etc. paris hilton just showed up in shanghai recently. so i'm sure she is pretty popular right now. oh they know michael jackson
soulja boy?!!?!? Hes a one hit wonder...i have his CD and most of his songs are jokes...cmon he raps about being on his sidekick..
Woah where did that come from? Did i offend you some how? jeez....Mention ONE cd on clutchfans...and im killed for it?
Sure Yaoming won't know him. most Chinese ppl dont like raps, simply not having the soil for it, yet.
I totally don't blame Yao. I am American and when they said Jon bon Jovi I was all like: man, that sounds familiar. But who?
Your just like the rest of the people from the South who are on his nuts, Lil'Wayne CANNOT touch Wu-Tang, Big L? LMFAO,Big L would murder him in a freestyle The microphone is through when this rap legend grab it Sendin poems to have them faggots diggin hoes like Reverand Swaggart L's the ***** that crime follows I'm hittin fine models and stabbin punks with broken wine bottles I beat chumps til they head splits, then break em like breadsticks I sex chicks, I'll even **** a dead b**** Always sprayin Tecs, because I be stayin vexed Some ***** named Dex, was in the projects layin threats I jumped out the Lincoln, left him stinkin Put his brains in the street Now you can see what he was just thinkin I'm chokin enemies til they start turnin pale Satan said I'm learnin well, Big L's gonna burn in hell Front and get scarred cause your rap style ain't even hard I run with a thievin squad, and NONE OF US believe in God - Big L Lil'Wayne is another studio thug gimmick, his rhymes look like they are written by 5 year olds, and he kissed his so-called "Dad", who isnt really his dad on the lips, which is just gay.
And Yao is not a univeristy graduate. Although I heard he loves music. This is why he has never heard of Jovi.
BS, there are just way too much hip hop and R&B in Chinese popular music today, very heavily influenced by the west. Plus every song is about breaking up, not even love, just breaking up. The only person that's even putting out remotely different stuff is Jay Chow, and even he fills 80% of his album with utter junk.
