For a non Asian like myself, I grew up listening to Mountain Brothers, Jin, Bambu, Geologic. Seeing Dumbfoundead’s battles. Then you factor in the sheer amount of Filipino DJ’s from the West Coast. Asians have been involved for years. Are they ready to make a big commercial splash in US Hip Hop? I don’t know. But Hip Hop is bigger than just what’s on the surface.
BTS was just on SNL. Mostly positive responses from what I saw, but for the few negative ones, I've never seen so many people unapologetically standing up against any racist comment towards Asian men in my life.
BTS has created more Asian advocates than literally everything these college classes, activists, and etc have been doing . Shoutout to them.

And if we stretch hip hop out beyond music, Korea and Japan are huge in the breakdancing scene. Plus you have people like Nigo, who've been influential style wise.
But yeah, it's mostly been underneath the surface without any mainstream act. I don't know if we're ready for a mainstream Asian rapper either.
Even though people I know understand that Asian people aren't a stereotype, I get the vibe that middle America still has the wildest, rigid perception of Asian people. Like they would legit be baffled to see someone with Asian features being a mainstream rapper. Which is stupid af but I think in 2019, we're still at the point where any Asian rapper will face a ridiculous amount of judgment.
Bboy physicx >Agree- many years ago, when Koreans started dominating break dancing, popping, beatboxing I remember telling someone about that..
Coachella got me feeling some type of way about Blackpink
