24Herbs’ “Hu Ge Clea Va Ge” FAIL

Hong Kong’s hip hop darlings, 24Herbs, just released a new music video. As you probably already figured out, we find it a bit hard to take Asian men dressed as gangsta rappers very seriously, especially with lyrics like ‘“bow-wow-wow, yippee yo yippy yay we wanna get your support before we’re OK.”

“Cheap shot” you might be thinking, as even (former) American hip hop groups make use of dubious lyrics to keep the song flowing at times. Fair enough. So check out the video for 24Herbs latest release, “Hu Ge”:

For a whole song dedicated to big cans, is it too much to ask for some properly voluptuous women instead of anorexic, FLAT Russian girls from model agency Starz People, who pretend they can do sexy dance? Although the definition of ‘Hu Ge Clea Va Ge’ might be different here than in other parts of the world, we think not. FAIL.

    I find the group’s name completely appropriate … though I wonder whether any of them know the meaning of the term “herb” and how it’s used in the US hiphop scene.

    A bit like local parents bestowing names like Kinki and Alkie on their daughters, I guess.

    @lucas I think you nailed it head on- and Midget you too. Can’t have a song about giant tits without ….. giant tits….. come on.

    I want to sue 24herbs for not being high, and for false representation. I want to see big tits!

    There may not be many big tits in the video but there’s certainly a lot of massive twats.
    Why not check out the HH hip hop joke’s innapropriate and hilarious song about AIDS here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9Qz50nS_2E
    It does quite well at reducing a huge global problem to an unintentional joke. The group shouts of “AIDS!!” from 3:10 to the end are the icing on the cake.

    I think we should keep in mind that we, male hongkies usually have bigger titties than our gf’s. So for us, these russian models have Hu Ge Clea Va Ge

    Well if they want big tits they could have as ME to help with my G cup titties seeing I’m only 2 degrees away! lol.
    @lucas 24herbs is a chinese medicine drink infused with 24 different herbs which means the group members are from all over the place i guess.
    Anyways, their songs are just weak and are total copy materials. No record labels will sign em if they have no connections. No originality whatsoever.
    They should at least be more humble and stop acting like such an @ss.

    Just says something about the local music scene when a bunch of dudes can dress up as wannabe rappers, put this kind of stuff out AND get popular for it… don’t know whether to applaud their ability to exploit the market or diss the obviously cr@p music they put out… Thinking about this is a waste of energy. -Maybe I should just STFU!!
