Point Blanc FAQ

Aight, its been almost 8 months since I made a comeback to the entertainment scene and the eyes of the public. In these past months, I had loads of questions and comments thrown at me. SO I decided to compile most of the ones that are the most common and address them here. Let the Point Blanc FAQ roll:

1) Is Point Blanc from Ipoh? (Yes, I get that sometimes)
Yes, he is or it wouldn't be fair for him to write about a song that means "From Ipoh".

2)Is there really an Ipoh Garden Eastside or is it just some wannabe gangsta rap line?
Yes, there is an Ipoh Ganden East (and a South too). For hip hop and creative writing purposes, I decided to add the "side" to east just to get the attention it did.lol.

3)Why is Point Blanc's hair blonde/colourful?. Look so jeng, ah beng , ah pek, etc...Rappers are suppose to be bald or dreaded like the African Americans.
Once again, I am out to prove a point that you do not have to FULLY emulate African Americans to be "hip hop". Mix it a bit and make it your own. Which is what I wanted to do with my image recently, I wanted to be the keep it real Chinese emcee. And the Chinese "Ah beng " stereotype can be cool too if styled properly. Once again its a keep your mind open kinda mentality. Don't put so many barriers on music or image. Have fun. Fuck what other ppl say:)

4)Are those Point's REAL parents in the music video and CD for the Ipohmali intro?
Yes they are. Michael & Gladys Ong. Love them to death.

5)Did they really say all those things back in the day when Point wanted to be a rap star in KL?
Other then the gynaecologist @##$% line which was written in for some humour, yes, that scenario was almost identical to the real situation 12 years ago.

6)Why did you do your album in 3 languages?
Cos' I can. lol.

10)Why the name Point Blanc?
Cos' Nicholas Ong ain't cool as a rap name:P. I'm a straight to the Point kinda dude. What u see is what u get, no bullshit and ass kissing. Hence, Point Blanc (spelled with a C instead of K for coolness factor.
