Rap music, like everything else, has its problematic moments. Misogyny, colorism, and yes racism often plague verses of some of the most popular hip-hop artists. Time and time again, rappers spit about “looking Asian” whenever they smoke a blunt or two.
Exhibit A: “Cause bitch I’m amazin’/Look what I’m blazin’/Eyes so low/Yea I look like an Asian,” Jeezy rapped on the chorus of his 2008 track “Amazin.”
Wiz Khalifa is the latest in a long line of rappers who have invoked the racist comparison. “I’m a different type of being/Drive the type of whip your bitches like to be in/Smoke got my eyes lookin’ Korean,” he raps on the track “Hot Now” from his new album Rolling Papers 2.

it’s not even a big deal 💀can’t u take a joke or 2
Fuck you
OK i'm not offended but "dirt got my face lookin' Jamaican" <- how about this shit? and i got some black friends. is that OK?
im korean and im not offended
He is disgusting
If Koreans have smaller eyelids, then why are they mad? When you get smoke in your eyes, you naturally squint them closer. He could have easily said Japanese or Chinese but said Korean. It honestly could have been way worse, like a stereotype that's not true about Asians. But last time I checked Koreans typically do have smaller eyelids.
My teech dirty looks like black ~
I am not racist ~^^
ITS NOT A PROBLEM, Black's cant be racist
jeez hows that racism cuz my skins so tanned now lookin black and i have black friends. asians paranoid
Atleas the song got the clout now
Probably white people getting offended on behalf of Koreans, of which actually don't care
Slim Shady can talk about raping lesbians while they scream "let's just be friends" but somehow this is crossing the line
Why people so soft these days, it's a fucking line in a song if you don't like it than don't listen to it
This isn't real. THIS IS RAP YOU FUCKTARDS
All the things going on in the world but y'all wanna get pissed off cause Wiz said some ignorant shit. Smh
If some white person said the night so dark like a black person people would go crazy gotta love the double standards
Who cares lmao
Racism is racism. I'm Asian, and how would you back people feel if I said "I smell like a black man"? Pretty offended right? I love Wiz, but he has to apologize for his ignorance.
I mean 11 months ago
Why get mad now when he's said it already 2 years ago in another song by ugly God called no lies
I heard about this silly shit and just HAD to post around for my two cents.
Dont apologize for shit! Say what you mean/want and fuck everyone. All these p.c. flakes crying about this and that, ignore em and stay true.
Let the money talk
Solution: don't buy the fucking album or listen it to it. Stop bitching LMFAO y'all gonna forget this shit by next week.
you know..if an asian rapper said something on the line of " loving those chicken and coolaid like black people" there would be another BLM riot blocking the free way ape shit.smfh
Me when i smoke a Blunt 😑
Eat a dick…to those Koreans that took offense
Offended type koreans Type italic so you dont offend them.
Is it just me? Or is it really something related with the K-Pop fandom?
If it is, then I gotta tell ya. That cancerous fandom is easy to be offended.
Why does he have to apologise for stating a fact?
Oh..
If I said something like…after holidays, my wallet is empty like inside the Black people's skull. wouldn't that be offensive?
Let's be honest there is a double stander for everything. I mean like the white guy say my cousin boyfriend is black but i'm not a racist but wiz smoking a blunt and then telling the wold that give me korean eye there is a double stander for racist. i mean it like if came out with a dark tan and rap about being black. The black community would be super upset with that comment.
Another Example Of How Soft This World Is Becoming
Talking about small eyes for fun is OK but black skin is not.
Absolutely crazzzyyyyy sooo many haters on wizzle mane !!!
Ok. Fuck off that song.
Like when he blamed taeyeon for being racist and not wanting to perform with him even tho it was his party’s fault for not bringing the right back track
Migos been saying shit like this
What the fuck is wrong with him? He using the same excuse white folks use when they're found out as racists.
