Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online [Salima Koroma] opens up the conversation to the far less discussed marginalization of Asian-American rappers in an industry dominated by African-American men. Rated: B- Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Nick Schager Variety Newcomer Salima Koroma takes a good look at a handful of Asian-American talents trying to break into the hip-hop scene. Apr 22, 2016 Full Review Elissa Suh StageBuddy.com [It] expounds on a nearly niche subject, coaxing out a vibrant story of four such rappers on the come up... Mar 13, 2020 Full Review VyceVictus Birth.Movies.Death. What makes Bad Rap work so well is its ability to be different types of documentaries at once. Feb 6, 2020 Full Review Nathanael Hood Screen Comment It spends far too little time focusing on the actual history of Asian American rappers...and poorly divides time between the four main rappers. Rated: 6/10 Dec 28, 2018 Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate Shame about the title, but the film itself hits all the right beats. Rated: 3.9/5 Aug 28, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Fantastic. I loved it, definitely a watch for anyone interested in rap. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Alll in all a pretty good Doc. Definitely a little amateur and feels a little bit like a final year film school project. I'm already a long stand fan of rap and it's cool to see these guys break out onto the slightly bigger screen. My only real criticism with the film is that it spends a lot of time playing off Dumbfounded against Awkafina when it could've jumped a little deeper into both the celebration of these rappers coming up or the outside circumstances preventing Asian rappers from blowing up. If you decide to not give this a watch at least listen to Dumbfounded's "we might die" - it's a great album. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
