What Asian music does Houston produce? What do you even qualify as Asian music?

Both cities gay communities are so close its like spitting hairs on who's is the biggest & best. Dallas probably has one of, if not the largest Gay Country/Western clubs in the country. The one I went to in Midtown Houston wasn't nearly as large or as popular.
The Brick and Havana play a pretty good selection of this music within the gay scene in Dallas. I've always had fun when I've gone to those places. Havana isn't a huge bar, but nice and The Brick is a very nice bar.

Dallas has never hosted one of these, Houston has.

Many Chinese & Vietnamese singers & artists are from Houston as well as models, pageant winners, fashion designers...even porn stars, but that's getting off the subject. LOL

Some famous names from Houston in the spot light:

Tila Tequila Official | Facebook

Chloe Dao (Famous Asian fashion designer)
Chloe Dao

Jimmy Boi (Vietnamese Rapper)

Ironically, Tribal music is now one of the largest musical exports of both Houston and Dallas. They both do it about evenly.

None of that except the first link is Asian music. That's just Asian people doing rap and other forms of American music.

I suspect that's just your way of trying to point out famous Asians from Houston. I could make a list for Dallas but I'm not going to waste my time going back in forth with you again.

Dallas has no famous Asians that's why.

You guys (Dallas' Thai & Laos community) go crazy when ever you get tired Asian artists like Sek Loso in town. LMAO

Funny, the only famous Asian you listed was Tila Tequila. The rest are people no one outside of Houston know very well.

If you have to cling to her for your famous Asian in Houston fix, that's pathetic.

As to the first part, no one has to prove $hit to you. There are no name Asian rappers and DJs in Dallas, but much like the ones you listed, they aren't worth my time.

Name an Asian Rapper from Dallas who has collaborated with the likes of Sean Paul whom was repping the $HIT out of Houston & its Chinatown in that music video.

All of those artists I listed besides Tila are well known in their respective non-mainstream & underground scenes.

The rap scene in Houston is better than Dallas. That's for sure. Dallas does some other things better. Each city isn't going to be on the same level as the other in every category.

As for the AA scene in Dallas. My friends that are AA tend to just mix it up and hang out where ever. I've never been with them and they have said they wish Dallas had more of X, Y & Z. Hip Hop clubs are a very specialized scene, it won't cater to a broad demographic.
