Just ‘Cause: Keone Madrid | PLAY
When I saw this clip by dance choreographer Keone Madrid, I knew I had to share it with you all. Question – What do you get when you add a fresh idea, famed dancer Keone Madrid, sharp choreo, and a little bit of cinematic trickery? Answer – a pretty cool short film. This is reportedly the first of a three part series, and if this initial installment is any indication, we have a lot to look forward to. I’m not gonna lie, I’m kind of tempted to break out the sharpie myself right now.

Just ‘Cause: Kids React to K-Pop
I caught this over at Angry Asian Man, and I have to say it’s kind of hilarious. Some of the comments are a big ignorant but some of the kids are actually deceptively insightful. As K-Pop continues to make inroads into the US market and gain international fanfare, it’ll be interesting to see how they will fare with the rest of the uninitiated. With Se7en, BoA, the Wonder Girls, Girls Generation having already made the jump, and with more on the way, do you think they will be able to gain any traction. It’s tough to say based on this small sample group… but kids do say the darnedest, and occasionally most jacked up things. Here are some of the gems of quotes you can look forward to.
- “They all look the same”
- “It’s official, they’re copying Lady Gaga”
- “They look kinda good”
- “Who comes up with these names?”
- “This is like Rebecca Black times ten!”

We really believe that life is a gift and ordinary people can do extraordinary things. We hope that this video encourages you to live life to the fullest this year and be the change you want to see in the world.

Just ‘Cause: Honey Cocaine Presents ‘The Sh*t Asian Parents Say’
Continuing the trend of viral videos in the ‘The Sh*t _____ Say”, rapper Honey Cocaine presents her take on the conversational habits of Asian Parents. It’s humorous at times, but drags on for a bit. And unfortunately, it doesn’t feature the polished editing and costume changes some of the other videos have, but perhaps some of you can relate.

Just ‘Cause: The Fung Bros Countdown Their Favorite Rap Lyrics About Asians
The Fung Brothers have a humorous vlog on some of the more notorious Asian themed lyrics to make it into Hip-Hop songs. Andrew & David count down their top 10 Asian references. It’s satirical in nature, so don’t take it too seriously but there are couple chuckle inducing moments to be seen. And as a little side note, for those unaware – the Fung Bros are rappers themselves, how about some Inglish & D-One anybody?
Just ‘Cause: B-Boy Solomon
Do you know who PK is? You should. One could say he’s just as influential as any artist in creating a stage and spotlight for many of the artists that we know and love. The comedian and former Kollaboration director is also the father to a young lad named Solomon, who seems to share his old man’s goofiness and penchant for entertainment. Check out Solomon’s moves… ABDC Season 21 needs to watch out – he’s gonna own the stage. Step Up 12-D, starring Solomon Kim. It’s coming.
Just ‘Cause: Dumbfoundead “Interviews” John Cho
OK, there’s really not much I can say here. This is just an awesome clip. If it’s staged, it’s silly and entertaining. If it’s genuine, then it’s sheer genius. Gotta love Dumb, always up to no good. Poor John Cho… Someone give Dumb his own reality show a la Ashton Kutcher. You’ve just been Dumb’d!
Just ‘Cause: UPenn Acapella Group PennSori Performs “Offbeat” by Clara C
You know you’re doing something right when a college acapella group decides to cover your music. And that is exactly the situation Clara C has found herself in with the following footage. The University of Pennsylvania’s PennSori, recently performed the infectious “Offbeat” by Ms Chung at their recent Fall Concert. The execution wasn’t immaculate but it was charming in it’s own right. Besides, if Clara has seen this, I’m sure she’s nothing but thrilled.
Just ‘Cause: Jane Lui Sings For a Young Fan
“Cute” is the only way to describe this video. While on tour in Europe, Jane Lui had a show in Amsterdam but unfortunately she had a young supporter who couldn’t stick around due to the fact that she had school the next day. So guess what? The little girl got her own private performance of “Migration Song”.
AAM had the scoop behind the event:
The way Jane explains it, it was her last night Europe, and kind of a miserable one. She had posted about doing a little open mic show in Amsterdam, but between the pouring rain and coming down with a cold, she was considering not going, thinking no one would know her there anyway.
But Jane, soaked with rain, had fans waiting for her, of course. Including a guy named Edwin who brought his young daughter. They had apparently seen Jane’s awesome History of Lyrics That Aren’t Lyrics, and drove out an hour to see her. But it was almost her bedtime by the time Jane got there, so they went outside and she sang the little fan a quick song.
Too awesome.
Just ‘Cause: Gowe Shares the Story Behind His Adoption and Biological Mother
Most Gowe fans are aware that he has a unique story behind his heritage, family, and Faith. More specifically, Gowe grew up believing he was a Chinese-American until a starting discovery as a young adult where he learned that he is actually a Korean-American adoptee that was brought into his current Chinese family. Other than, I imagine most wouldn’t know the details but in this clip he did with Inspire, the Seattle MC shares about how those events played out and continue to shape him, even today.
Now that you’ve seen the clip, perhaps that helps give just a little more perspective to his song “I Wonder“.
