20 Thousand hits!

Wohoo! We hit the 20K mark baby! I hope y'all enjoyed the blog so far. We had the charting of my comeback career as an artiste and record label owner, we had pics and videos, blackberries, good places to eat and even some recent controversies. Lookout for the build up to the release of my long delayed solo album "Straight to the Point" next!

I will try to blog the experiences leading up to the album hitting the shelves so everyone will have a glimspe of what happens in the process. Hope you guys had fun reading this blog as much as I had fun updating it. Tell yo' friends 'bout it and get them to visit regularly too.

I'd like to take this chance to thank everyone for their continued support so far and hope everyone will cop the album when it drops. Rappers from Ipoh need to eat and pay bills:P Take care and have a good week ahead! Here are some random pics from the Ipohmali music video shoot. Enjoy:-


Collabro of the year?

"Ipohmali" Controversy?

One of my peoples stumbled onto this blog and told me to check it out. I must say it is quite funny how people's reaction and comments are to this lil' controversy.

Apparently,the user based web dictionary Wikipedia defines the word "Ipohmali" as ....gasp, "Prostitutes"! So there is quite a bit of hoohar...and people starting to question why I did the song..etc Read it all here and make the judgement yourself!

This was my response in the comments section:

Comment by Point Blanc on May 17, 2007 5:04 pm

Wow, I didn’t know my song will create so much controversy. After reading every comment and having been told by my people not to comment, I feel it is the least I can do to speak out.

Let’s be honest, does the word “Ipohmali” really mean prostitutes? Or because Wikipedia says so? I hear a lot of jargon like ignorance thrown around so let’s think for a second. What is Wikipedia? As far as I know and correct me if I’m wrong, wikipedia is a “user based” dictionary. I understand it as people writing in their own definitions for particular words. It is NOT the official recognized dictionary of the real world.

I have been a Malaysian and Ipoh-ite for most of my life. I have never heard of the term “Ipohmali” defined as “prostitutes”. In fact, most of us here know it as” from Ipoh” hence all the famous lines like ” Ipohmali tadak sombong”…etc. Heck if it meant prostitute, this word wouldn’t be used so much in our culture. Do u mean somebody is calling you a prostitute when they react to you telling them you’re from Ipoh? Cos’ the general reply from non Ipoh ppl who after finding out you’re from Ipoh would be” Oh, Ipohmali ah?”. And honestly, if it meant “prostitutes” it wouldn’t get played on radio.

C’mon people. Let’s keep it real here. I do agree that if a foreigner does search Wikipedia he will be shocked but then again that is beyond my control. Cos’ Ipohmali’s true definition is NOT prostitutes. Even the definition on Wikipedia describes it as pimps telling customers that these girls are from Ipoh and at that time most beautiful gals are from Ipoh. So the word does mean “from Ipoh” and NOT prostitutes.

I wrote this song with the purest of intentions. To make us Malaysians be proud of where we’re from. To use our OWN slangs and make it cool instead of always using and emulating foreign slangs like Yo, whassup…etc. Hence I made the title “Ipohmali”. and if anyone really listens to the lyrics, it is a song about my life story to inspire many Malaysians out there that no matter where they are from, they can make their dreams come true if they put their minds to it.

So for those who think I wrote this song without any thought or by plain ignorance, you are wrong. We should try to open our minds more. Sometimes we might think we are really open minded or smart to comment on things and point fingers, but sometimes we have to look at ourselves too.

Much respect to those that supported me and have kept an open mind. Bo hoo to those that don’t see it. Get the album “Straight to the Point” hitting record stores in June. Maybe might have more Wikipedia unfriendly titles;)



Sigh, so there it is , controversy in my music. And I'm not that type of artiste to keep quite and not say something. What do you guys think of all this?

A great day!

Yesterday (6.5.2007) was one of the best days of my life!!! Why? Here's why:-

- Ipohmali hit no. 1 on Hit.fm's MET 10 charts! Voyeur Records's first of many number one songs!

- My favourite football club of all time Man United were crowned CHAMPIONS of ENGLAND!!! It's amazing I have never got the time to post anything about my favourite FC but peeps close to me will know that I'm a huge & passionate United fan. Here's a lil' trivia for all y'all, my last album (AMMO's Return of the Boombox) was released the year United last won the league. This year is the year I relaunch and release my solo album. PLUS we won the league the day my single hit no.1!!! It is my destiny to love United so much:)ahahaha..to all you Chelsea fans, see you guys at the FA Cup finals!!! Glory Glory Man United!!!

- I got my final mixes of my album at last. They sound great and the next stage is to send them for mastering:)

Indeed it was a good day, I hope it was good for all of you out there too:) I also would like to use this post to wish my beloved dad a happy belated b'day! He turned 57 on 5.5.07! He got the best belated b'day present too as he is a huge United fan! 'Till the next post, peace.


Man United, Champions of England 2006/07!!!'Nuff said!
