Ghostface Killa Shanghai!!!!
Monday, Jun 15, 2009 1:58AM / Standard Entry
It keeps getting better and better! Friday it was Mobb Deep; Saturday it was Fab 5 Freddy; tonight, Sunday, I got to see the Ghostface Killa aka Iron Man aka Tony Starks of the Wu-tang Clan perform. SO DOPE!!!
He is hands down one of my favorite artist of all time, his lyrics are both audio and visual, you can almost visualize his rhymes without a music video.
I gotta say that the sound system at the venue was not great, his mics weren't as crystal as they could have been, but this man's passion for music and to perform prevailed.
WU TANG WU TANG WU TANG!!!

Fab 5 Freddy in Shanghai.

Like Wow!
Tonight I meet a true legend of hip-hop, modern art, and pop culture. He was the host of MTV's first hip-hop show in the late 80's, he produced Wildstyle a seminal documentary about hip-hop culture, worked with Debbie Harry of Blondie, was a friend of Andy Warhol and Jean Michel Basquiat.
Fab 5 Freddy is a true pioneer, and continues to spread the message of the roots of hip-hop culture world-wide.
I grew up watching his shows, his movies, seeing him in the magazines; he has had a profound impact on my career as a creative, and my perception of culture. I am not the type of person who gets excited about meeting celebrities, but tonight I couldn't remain the cool and reserve person that I normally am...I had to meet the dude he has helped mold who I have become to be.
If you happen to be in Shanghai, Freddy will be at the Factory for the next 4 days, each night showing a pivotal movie that focuses on the elements of hip-hop and that document the development of the culture.
Please check the link below for the schedule.

'Shook Ones...You Ain't A Crook Son'

Last night I went to the MOBB DEEP show at Racks, had a great time!
BIG PROPS to Min, oh yeah and of course to Mobb Deep also, GOOD CROWD, GOOD ENERGY!
The only thing that baffled me was the trailer trash that came out. No disrespect, I have just never seen them in Shanghai before. But I guess when you are putting on a good thing, people just come out of the wood works.

Is this Shanghai?
Friday, Jun 12, 2009 12:31PM / Standard Entry
Lately I have a bit more free time on my hands, so I have made a conscious effort to explore the city of Shanghai and China more extensively. Yesterday I ventured into Pudong a.k.a. PuJersey to some. I went to Century Park which is only a 20 minute train ride outside of downtown. I gotta say, it was like entering a whole other world. It's no Central Park, nor is it Yoyogi, but I was quite impressed. The only downside is that there is a ¥10RMB fee, this is extremely cheap, but it feels wrong to pay to gain access to a public park, anyhow I feel that I will be spending a lot more time there this summer.
