An International "Rap Dialectic" Dialectic

The guys behind The Rap Dialectic, Ghostride My Volvo, and Huge In Asia have just released a new video, showing off their love for San Francisco. Nate and Kai are buddies of mine, and I wait with baited breath for all new videos they create.

To make things more interesting as I introduce their new video, I propose a "Rap Dialectic" Dialectic rumble, pitting one city against another in an international battle to end all international battles.

In one corner, the city of Hanoi, Vietnam, in "Hanoi Hustle":



And in the other corner, the city of San Francisco, California, USA, in the newly-released video, "Give Me Your Heart in San Francisco (I Want to Have Sex With You)". Below is Nate and Kai's introduction to the video for your reading pleasure:

"When we returned home from the Far East a few months ago, our family and friends were quick to remind us that we had failed to become, as they mockingly quoted, "Huge in Asia." In some ways, they were right: we never got on an underwear billboard ad, put out a pop single, or presided over a religious ceremony--opportunities we had thought to be well within our grasp when we began the trip.

"But what these cynics forget is that Huge in Asia is not some game to be won or lost; it's an entire philosophy, a marriage of raw creative energy and shameless self-promotion, that we intend to follow our entire lives if possible. And with that in mind, we'd like to unveil HIA's first post-Orient release."

Here's the new video:



Who wins this first--though hopefully not last--international YouTube music video battle of the cities? You be the judge...
