Bambu and DJ Phatrick were on Hard Knock Radio with Weyland Southon yesterday. The interview is a semi repeat from a few months back, but now you can hear it in it’s entirety.

On the real… this is probably one of the best interview’s with Bambu i’ve heard yet. I’m not going to say anything more than – it will definitely be an educational experience, (Props to Weyland for the documentation).

**insider tip – Bambu talks about his role in the new Indiana Jones movie! Bambu has more tricks up his sleeve than the average emcee, can you spot him in this pic?

(Which is a great segway into how) – I recently purchased a book titled “Filipino’s in Hollywood” by Carina Monica Montoya. Although I heard from a credible scource that some of the facts could’ve been double checked, amongst other critiques, this is definitely a step in the right direction to record how Filipino’s have contributed to the history of film and entertainment.

I’m looking forward to a similar book about “Filipino’s in Hip Hop…”

There’s so much more information on this topic… I’m sure if you look within your own communities you will realize how influential Filipino’s are to Hip Hop, and how much Hip Hop has influenced the Filipino American culture.
