No matter your taste or politics what I've learned as a maker of shit that tries to be dope is the process is hard and filled with mistakes and failure. And to commit fully to create dope shit requires a persistent level of audacity and shamelessness. This photo makes me so happy because these are all people who have committed to creating and who slay it with passion and ferocity. So much respect. Congrats to @badrapfilm. When you are an Asian American with too many damn opinions for your own good, thank God for hip hop, music, comedy and writing. Thank yall for keeping me inspired. @chopsmusic @angryasianman @gohnakamura @dumbfoundead @awkwafina #laapff2016 @vconline #badrapfilm
