OK OK.. So here I am attempting to start my own blog again for the 10,000,000th times... I guess everytime I start one (eventually they lead to nowhere!) there was always a purpose in mind.
I have promised myself that, this time around I'll actually stick to it and let it run for a long time...
Anyway! Enough bullshit and let's get this started..! The reason why I've started this is simply because I noticed since moving back to Hong Kong, I have been on facebook a LOT and I also noticed that I had been posting a lot of youtube hip-hop,R&B and funk music videos on FB but as we all know, once it scrolls off the page all clips are gone. So I figured if I create a blog, put the videos up, do a little bit of writing about hip-hop,music,lifestyle or whatever,and putting some of my thoughts in it, it might not be a bad idea!
Being the first post, I'll put up a clip from an icon, Tupac (R.I.P).."My Block". Just like James Dean, Pac passed away at the height of his career. This was one of more laid back track. I remembered buying 'The Show' soundtrack album back in 95/96. (The album's version is a little different from this clip).
It's funny....whenever I look at an old MV from youtube or where-ever, it reminds me of what I was doing at that point in time of my life. I guess the thang with music is, that each song, or each album tells a story, or an era in time in the past. Back in 1995, getting hip-hop music in Melbourne, Australia was quite hard and Central Station Records was probably the most well-equipped urban music provider in Australia.
Another track I like to share is a track from MC Jin before he came back to HK called " I Quit".. It's the grits 'n fire in the lyrics that I enjoyed the most from this track..that's JIN to ya earsss....
It's interesting with Jin. I heard of him back in the 2005 period and I even remembered he came to Australia (I didn't go). I was living in Sydney by then but what was really wicked was to see an Asian-American representing in the hip-hop community and THAT, got me noticed because there were probably quite a few Asian-Australian representing hip-hop in Australia but nowhere near where Jin had gone with his battles 'n freestyling.
Now that I'm back in HK, haha, i guess the rest is history!
Til tomorrow, good night ya'll.
