Yesterdaynite was one night I will remember forever. It's one of those times in life you think you are dreamin' and you might wake up!Yup, I met my hero, my inspirational figure, my favourite emcee next to Nas and Jay, Jin, The EMCEE!!!
Its really crazy as 2 years ago I told myself I wanted to meet him someday, somehow and it felt so impossible what with me back in KL, and he is this big ass hip hop superstar! Flash forward 2008 and I'm talkin' to him backstage and watching him live!Crazy.
A lot of peeps and so called hip hop fans around here don't really know him as he should be known. Most know him only from his ABC Jin album, and some from his Freestyle Friday Battle days & some Youtube vids. But to me, Jin is one of the greatest emcees in the world, plus the most unbelievable fact is that he is CHINESE!!! I have most of his albums (some as mp3s cos I can't cop it here)and his feature joints. I seen all his battles from the classic Smack DVD Jin vs Verse to his 50 grand freestyle battles! This guy is unbelieveble and is the TRUTH! I relate a lot to him to a certain degree in terms of a chinese kid havin a fulltime career in hip hop, his industry journey, his ups and downs, his love for the artform, etc. Of course I will never be signed to Ruff Ryders nor be freestyling in BET..haha, this guy's discography is crazy!
The most amazing thing is that he is really as humble and down to earth as we see him to be. All that greatness and humility. I take my hats off to you Jin. I got nothing but mad love and respect for you. Good luck on your 49 venue Malaysian tour!
p/s: Jin, Glad you liked Ipohmali and I was listenin' & gettin' inspired by "The Emcee's Propaganda" while I was writing and recording "Straight to the Point"!
