After the last Academy Awards and the regular whitewashing of hollywood roles, i wrote this song and made this video to add my piece to the conversation. thanks guys! new album coming out in July!
Crazy.. hearing this song for the first time after the latest Oscars just aired a few days ago. Everything Everywhere All at Once cleaned up, as it should, but it was Ke Huy Quan's speech that really moved me. DFD spoke it into existence 👏🏾
+ALBUMOF2008 Hard to imagine. Whites don't have much representation or success in rap music, do they? I have been explicitly told that there are no vacancies for a person of my ethnicity. Those are just the instances I was aware of. Every white person has experienced prejudice, because every PERSON experiences prejudice. For the way they dress, the way they speak, and these days, explicitly told "you are a fucking white male" as if this were a sufficient argument for dismissing everything you say and feel. Have you felt that kind of OVERT racism? Really? Or am I completely wasting my time trying to appeal to reason and actual specific example of life for average white people in the 21st century? The most despised group who can expect no social justice or protection when from the law when they are excluded from employment, education or just opportunities to publicly share their opinion? Do you REALLY think white people have privilege, by being 100% accountable for everything they do or even don't do, and being forced to self-censor their speech, being the only people who ARENT allowed to offend anyone? When was the last time a group of people shouted their hatred of you, and explicitly told you you are not welcome and your opinion has no value, because of your skin? Behaviour that is applauded and encouraged. No social consequence. No legal consequence. PRIVILEGE, you reckon?

this isn't about JUST ASIAN AMERICANS. It's also for all minorities who get stereotypical roles. DFD obviously doesn't want to just make it about just us. I'm pretty sure every culture wants a lead role in Hollywood movies. But for DFD and the rest of asian americans, we also want to portray our people as much as you all do. if I had great writing skills I would want a diverse cast in my movies.
+dukezap1 lol i think saying most youtubers are in the 1-5M view range is absolutely absurd, maybe the big name youtubers, but realistically id say the average view range for most youtubers is 1-50k in views. Scuse me i gotta drink from a garden hose quick 🎷
He has more talent than many of other so called "rappers" that only do shit instead of music... I can't understand why he can't get the same fame and recognition as they do...
Dmetrius 7 Someone says that same fucking comment on every single rap video. "X is wayyyy better than Y because I say so, why isnt he more famous?" Your music taste is obviously much better than literally everyone else who listens to rap, huh?
Thank the lord for this comment always the same type of shit. 'Look at me I listen to music that isnt about guns women and drugs I'm so cool and deep I only listen to stuff thats really important in our society'
I just realised, the best step for Quentin Tarantino to make would be a historical samurai film. Like, now he does those westerns and next should be some of that historical samurai stuff (Historical as in not like Kill Bill, but set in the past).
+Evil_Prince_Ira "yeah black people have it pretty rough in America, but Hollywood is not one of those places" erm sorry to burst your bubble but black people still have a really hard time getting into movies/tv shows and most of the time when they do it is based on stereotypes of black people. Of course, Asians do have it WAY harder than black people in Hollywood but don't dismiss the fact that black people still have struggles in Hollywood too.
KPOPFANBOYUK He's saying he wants more asian/asian americans to be recognized and placed in positions where they aren't the background but foreground. Be it movies or w/e
I'm not sure if this was on purpose, but at the last scene at 4:02, the little boy is the only one not smiling and seems really scared. Is this because he knows he is next?
i dont get why tf yall complaining about this dude being underrated. if anything y'all should be happy about it, because before you know it you'll have a bunch of bandwagon "fans" claiming they fuck with him the heaviest. im just saying appreciate the fact that theres amazing underrated artists like this dude.
Jeff Ibane its pretty fucking obvious who the fuck im talking to and if you can't understand who im talking to you must really have a thick fucking skull lmao
herrothere dont you want dfd to make more bread? fucks wrong with people that think its cool to stay underground. i hope all the underground people i listen to blow up and get hella cake
"The sky is a limit, any minute now, they gonna let an asian brother get a lead role!" As an actor/comedian this hits home! Many times i've been perfect for a role, but then they tell me they're going in a "different direction" DFD holding it down for us asians out there.
These bars. This video. Prophetic. Also I just watched GoT for the first time, having forgotten all the spoilers, the Jon Snow clip hits different now.
"... and the only yellow men were all statues." - I used to think about this a lot as an asian american, and now I think about it all the time. :/ We're the side characters; we are Long Duck Dong in 16 Candles, or Data in the Goonies, or the unnamed scientist who's the token asian in the film. We are exotic yet acceptable, like a generic Kong Fu summer blockbuster. And this isn't even getting into that white-washing BS like in the Last Samurai. I wanna be able to see myself as a main character for once. #YellowPride
you musta never watched last samurai, there was literally one good white guy and the rest were portrayed as bad, a long with the new japan government figures wanting to make deals with the new americans they just met.
Well with Watch Dogs movie becoming a thing, hopefully we can introduce more interesting and talented asian actors into more lead roles that will generate more buzz. Still think Donny Yen deserves that lead role in a major hollywood film
something i think is very underrated is how well they change the lighting and tone of his face for each scene. the actual switching of the heads is dope, but the way they change his skin to match the lighting and rest of body is done so fucking well
It’s been a solid Year since hearing this song, and I came back because I laughed when BTS lost the Grammys. I IMMEDIATELY thought about this song “The other night I watched the oscars and the roasters were the only yellow men were statues.” Not to stir the pot.
Didn't Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon start off that leap? I don't think it won an Academy Award but it was nominated in several categories and won other awards outside of that.
Totally agree. There are so many Asian Americans in america so it's about time to have a yellow movie. There are plenty of white movies, black movies are going well. I think Asian writers needs to start making their own movies, just like Tyler Perry did for black actors. (Just an example)
For me, I don't care if they make a yellow movie. That still doesn't address the two biggest problems I have with whitewashing. 1. I want casting Asians (and all races and ethnicities) to not be a special or unique thing. If everyone in the movie is Asian, it's no better than creating a movie starring just white people or just black people. There is a mindset that Asians can only play certain roles like the nerd, the scientist, the outcast, the foreigner. Sometimes even those roles are whitewashed (check out how Venkat Kapoor became Vincent Kapoor in The Martian, effectively changing his race and his religion, or how Mindy Park went from Korean to blonde in the same movie). What's wrong with having two Asians in a movie? This shouldn't be a problem; why should having a movie populace resemble the national populace be considered a radical idea? When will people realize that only fitting in Asian actors to play stereotypes isn't the answer to diversity? Hollywood apparently doesn't even consider Asians at all; just watch Chris Rock at the counter-#OscarsSoWhite broadcast and his poor taste in Asian jokes. Sure they incorporated ONE more color, but that's still not diversity. Hollywood needs to lose the mindset that movies have to be all-white/black/yellow/brown whatever. 2. Hollywood directors have to realize that changing the inherent character is more impactful than 'creative licence'. Extreme cases could possibly even be cultural appropriation. If the role is described as being an Asian, then cast an Asian. If the role is described as being Middle Eastern, then cast someone of that heritage. Don't just cast someone completely unsuited to the role for their name or reputation. Hollywood has never been an establishment that favored or gave an equal opportunity for many races, not just Asian. Some of their early portrayals of Asians have created the stereotypes of the 'ching-chong' chinaman (Breakfast at Tiffany's) but they've done nothing to rectify this dehumanization and fetishization that they've subjected Asians to. Don't create a stereotypical character and play it off as 'cultural diversity' or 'giving the people who they want'. Hollywood has the opportunity to be the people who change views on certain races, but they adamantly refuse to do so. Somehow, casting minorities is still a radical act outside of stereotyping and novelty itemization. I don't want to see a 'yellow movie'. I want to see everyone being treated equally and justly when being cast for a role. Not chosen for name recognition, not chosen for money, but chosen because they have talent and they match the character profile.
If you read past the first five words, you'll realize that I wasn't saying I don't care about the issues at hand but that I don't care for that particular approach, and then I explained why. Yes, it was lengthy -- an essay to some -- but that's because I DO care about whitewashing in Hollywood. There are some people who don't understand what this movement is about; it's not about getting more Asians into Hollywood, but more about getting people of ALL ethnicities to be fairly treated in Hollywood and destroying dehumanizing stereotypes.

dope though
it's great :)
PREACH PREACH PREACH
my dude, good shit
AYEE IM READY
Who’s still dumbfounded in 2024 this is my joint my jam bra
Here for eternity!🎉
damn
HOLY SHIT ITS SHAWN WASABI
collab with DFD?
+ElmoePlusTwo That's gonna sound dope :DDD
Took the word right out of my mouth.
wow I though I would never meet shawn here
Crazy.. hearing this song for the first time after the latest Oscars just aired a few days ago. Everything Everywhere All at Once cleaned up, as it should, but it was Ke Huy Quan's speech that really moved me. DFD spoke it into existence 👏🏾
honestly, dumbfoundead needs more recognition.
he deserves it
funny you mention that, because under-representation and marginalization of asian talent is not just in the oscars-- it's also in music.
+Anthony Lopez As a Hispanic person you should know how prejudice feels.
Maybe if he were white this would get more attention- the irony.
+ALBUMOF2008
Hard to imagine. Whites don't have much representation or success in rap music, do they?
I have been explicitly told that there are no vacancies for a person of my ethnicity. Those are just the instances I was aware of.
Every white person has experienced prejudice, because every PERSON experiences prejudice. For the way they dress, the way they speak, and these days, explicitly told "you are a fucking white male" as if this were a sufficient argument for dismissing everything you say and feel.
Have you felt that kind of OVERT racism?
Really?
Or am I completely wasting my time trying to appeal to reason and actual specific example of life for average white people in the 21st century? The most despised group who can expect no social justice or protection when from the law when they are excluded from employment, education or just opportunities to publicly share their opinion?
Do you REALLY think white people have privilege, by being 100% accountable for everything they do or even don't do, and being forced to self-censor their speech, being the only people who ARENT allowed to offend anyone?
When was the last time a group of people shouted their hatred of you, and explicitly told you you are not welcome and your opinion has no value, because of your skin?
Behaviour that is applauded and encouraged. No social consequence. No legal consequence.
PRIVILEGE, you reckon?
HandsomeNamed yes white people have privilege. and yes white rappers tend to get more success and attention. :)
This video was one of the best ive seen in along time. creative as hell imo

Hell yeah.
I'll never understand why people hate on him. dude gas actually talent. your hate can be used somewhere else
I remember when Dumb did acting for a bit.
This is a nice compilation of some of my fave scenes.
This man is a hero for Asian Americans as well as the U.S. in general. A much better roll model than most celebrities
THATS DOPE!!!!
YOOOOO KEV ON STAGE

He screamed through the whole room.
You took me as safe
That was your first mistake
Who said I was safe
[Verse 1: Dumbfoundead]
The other night I watched the Oscars
And the roster of the only yellow men were all statues
We a quarter of the population
There’s a room of fuckin’ 1 percenters laughing at you
Fuck a bamboo ceiling, guess I gotta play the villain
ODB up at the Grammys on the mic
Like “Wu-Tang is for the children!”
Bruce Jenner is woman
OJ was acquitted
Kim K is a hero
The sky is the limit, any minute now
They gonna let an Asian brotha’ get a lead role
Shots fired I'm a reload, never saw this side of Chino
He was always quiet keeping to himself
Never messed with anybody else
That's the Jonathan that we know
[Hook: Dumbfoundead]
Seems so safe, till one day things go cray
I swear if things don’t change
My actions can’t be blamed, (STAND UP!)
And now you gotta duck!
You know you never gave a fuck!
I came to get my cut! (fuck you, pay me)
You know I never gave a fuck!
[Verse 2: Dumbfoundead]
I ain't never heard of none y’all fools
I can do what every one of y’all do
If I never get a chance
You might see the homie show up on the 5 o’ clock news
You ain't never seen a yellow boy wild’n yellow boy shinin’ , Sound the alarm I got news
Go ahead and pro-file em’ I ain't pro-violence
Shhhhh, silence is how yellow boys move
Its been the same ol’ thang, I swear the game don’t change
What you talking bout there ain't no space
Guess i gotta go and make more space
You know I’m cool as a motherfucker
Chillin’ in the cut hella quiet with the loud pack
Since I’m a cool motherfucker
You think everything is safe till I ask you where the safe at!

Oh hell yeah. He would knock one of those out of the park.
except he said he's done directing
Feudal era Japan would be amazing
except he'd probably still find a way to cast a non-Asian as the lead or hero
Frank L I don't know Tarantino always just does whatever he wants... But he already starred an asian, although not as a lead.
Listened to this song about 89 times in the last couple of days.

Totally agree. There are so many Asian Americans in america so it's about time to have a yellow movie. There are plenty of white movies, black movies are going well. I think Asian writers needs to start making their own movies, just like Tyler Perry did for black actors. (Just an example)
For me, I don't care if they make a yellow movie. That still doesn't address the two biggest problems I have with whitewashing.
1. I want casting Asians (and all races and ethnicities) to not be a special or unique thing. If everyone in the movie is Asian, it's no better than creating a movie starring just white people or just black people. There is a mindset that Asians can only play certain roles like the nerd, the scientist, the outcast, the foreigner. Sometimes even those roles are whitewashed (check out how Venkat Kapoor became Vincent Kapoor in The Martian, effectively changing his race and his religion, or how Mindy Park went from Korean to blonde in the same movie). What's wrong with having two Asians in a movie? This shouldn't be a problem; why should having a movie populace resemble the national populace be considered a radical idea? When will people realize that only fitting in Asian actors to play stereotypes isn't the answer to diversity? Hollywood apparently doesn't even consider Asians at all; just watch Chris Rock at the counter-#OscarsSoWhite broadcast and his poor taste in Asian jokes. Sure they incorporated ONE more color, but that's still not diversity. Hollywood needs to lose the mindset that movies have to be all-white/black/yellow/brown whatever.
2. Hollywood directors have to realize that changing the inherent character is more impactful than 'creative licence'. Extreme cases could possibly even be cultural appropriation. If the role is described as being an Asian, then cast an Asian. If the role is described as being Middle Eastern, then cast someone of that heritage. Don't just cast someone completely unsuited to the role for their name or reputation.
Hollywood has never been an establishment that favored or gave an equal opportunity for many races, not just Asian. Some of their early portrayals of Asians have created the stereotypes of the 'ching-chong' chinaman (Breakfast at Tiffany's) but they've done nothing to rectify this dehumanization and fetishization that they've subjected Asians to. Don't create a stereotypical character and play it off as 'cultural diversity' or 'giving the people who they want'. Hollywood has the opportunity to be the people who change views on certain races, but they adamantly refuse to do so. Somehow, casting minorities is still a radical act outside of stereotyping and novelty itemization. I don't want to see a 'yellow movie'. I want to see everyone being treated equally and justly when being cast for a role. Not chosen for name recognition, not chosen for money, but chosen because they have talent and they match the character profile.
+Joseph Hahn "for me i dont care" but leave like 80 paragraph essay lmao
If you read past the first five words, you'll realize that I wasn't saying I don't care about the issues at hand but that I don't care for that particular approach, and then I explained why. Yes, it was lengthy -- an essay to some -- but that's because I DO care about whitewashing in Hollywood. There are some people who don't understand what this movement is about; it's not about getting more Asians into Hollywood, but more about getting people of ALL ethnicities to be fairly treated in Hollywood and destroying dehumanizing stereotypes.
