Here's an interview that Djaybuddah and Thaitanium did with the living legend himself, DJ Clark Kent for AWhatUp Radio in Bangkok, Thailand. In the interview, they discussed a lot about hip hop culture. Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

• Clark Kent considers Red Cafe, Curtains and Fabolous the hottest emcees right now that are from Brooklyn, New York
  
• Clark Kent says that Jay-Z is the "best emcee" (and second best rapper) while Biggie is the "best rapper" (and second best emcee)
  
• An emcee, according to Clark Kent, is all about lyricism and the substance behind the rhymes
  
• A good rapper, according to Clark Kent, is one that makes great songs
  
• Clark Kent says that Soulja Boy and Bow Wow are "great rappers", but they aren't emcees (and that they'll get "shitted on" if they go against Joe Budden in the booth)
  
• Clark Kent claims to own 26,000 pairs of shoes
• Clark Kent says that Grandmaster Flash got the "Grandmaster" part of his name from the original Grandmaster: Grandmaster Flowers from Brooklyn

Thaitanium - I Know You Love Me P Natty

Thaitanium - Thailand's Most Wanted

I Know You Love Me is a love song from Thaitanium's Thailand's Most Wanted album.

Thaitanium - Ta Leung feat Nara

Thaitanium - Thailand's Most Wanted

Thaitanium is a Thai-American hip hop group and one of Thailand's most popular hip hop acts. Thaitanium or, "Thaitay" as they are commonly known as by their fans, consists of 3 Thai rappers: Khan, Way and Day. To this date they have released 6 albums. AA (2000), Thai Riders (2002), Province 77 OST (2003), Resisting Against da System (2004), Thailand's Most Wanted (2006) and Flipside (2008). Thaitanium also hosted the first ever, Asian Hip Hop Festival in Bangkok, last month in October.

Ta Leung (ทะลึ่ง in Thai) is a club-banger hit from Thaitanium. Although this song is 2 years old, it is still one of the most popular rap songs in Thai hip hop clubs right now. The term Ta Leung in Thai means that you are naughty, in a sexual kind of way. In the context of the music video, you will see that every time one of the rappers from Thaitanium tries to advance at a girl, she starts waving her finger and says "Ta Leung". That is how the term is used in Thailand. This song is on their Thailand's Most Wanted Album.
