TB 亂流 - SO BEAUTIFUL

This is TB 亂流's new song for the ladies called So Beautiful.

DOY (도이) - Better Days

DOY - Better Days

This is a pretty up-beat single by Korean rapper DOY released in January of 2009. Am I trippin or does DOY's rapping kinda reminds you of T (Yoon Mi Rae)? DOY also has that fast paced, semi-raspy style EXACTLY like T's. The general feel of the song is also very much like T's rap songs. Heck, if I found a YouTube video with T's picture in it, I'd probably think it was T's new single. You know what, maybe DOY to T is like The Realest to 2pac haha. Anyways I like this song. It gets a thumbs up from me.

Critical - Kung Fu MV feat. DJ Tin Ho & MastaMic

Freestyle Battle - Sympal Mynd vs True Temper

Chinese-American battle emcee, True Temper sent me this YouTube footage of him battling Sympal Mind.

From an email he sent to me:

Hi, this is a video of me that got posted recently from a battle back in October for that was part of Grind Time's fundraiser for Dirtbag Dan and Madness. I'm pretty nerdy so Lush wasn't down to put it on Drect's channel so I'm trying to drum up some views.

I stumbled a bit in the first round. My opponent used a lot of racial jokes and I burned him for it in the 3rd round.

Oh yes you did! Props!!

YET ANOTHER brawl in the Taiwanese Parliament

Another brawl broke out in Taiwan's parliament two weeks ago. Taiwan's parliament fights are world-renowned. It stems for their passion for democracy. Way to demonstrate to Mainland China how politically stable Taiwan's democracy is. Who cares about the democratic process? If I were to punch you in the face, you might think twice before passing any legislature! Yeah cos that's how we we roll 'round here....

Article from BBC News:

Brawl breaks out in Taiwan parliament after policy row

A brawl has broken out in Taiwan's parliament as lawmakers from opposing parties clashed over proposed amendments to the Local Government Act.

Politicians punched and wrestled each other to the ground and one member of the governing party said he'd been bitten by a member of the opposition.

It is not the first time that scuffles have broken out as Jonathan Josephs reports.

Triangle Offense - The Alarm

Triangle Offense

Triangle Offense have released a new single for the clubs called The Alarm.

Press Release:

Triangle Offense Releases New Single "The Alarm" Ahead of Next Mixtape

Hours before taking the stage at the Bad Boy Street Showcase in Brooklyn, Jersey City natives Triangle Offense will be releasing their next single, "The Alarm." The single, a collaborative effort between T.O. and Envision Nightlife's (http://www.envisionnightlife.com/) DJ Nano, is featured on their next mixtape "The Courting," which is set to be drop for free download on their website, www.triangle-offense.com.

"Nano and I met when we were young. Growing up, I always thought he had a good ear for music," recounts T.O. member Finesse. "While working with him on this song, Nano gave us a lot of insight on what people in the club like and don't like. Getting his co-sign on our music meant a lot."

The ambiance of the record is dark while still finding a party atmosphere within ominous electronic sounds. "We wanted people to hear the song and taste alcohol on their breath and feel the warmth of an overly packed club," says Nemo, half of Jersey Boys Music. "I think we accomplished that."

"The Courting is going to take you on a night out with Triangle Offense," describes Finesse. "The Alarm sets the stage. When you hear the alarm, you'll know you're in the club."

To promote the song, DJ Nano has been including it in his set while spinning at clubs across Manhattan, including Club Rewind and Gramercy Room. Triangle Offense gave partygoers a preview of the song when they performed it alongside DJ Nano at SPiNYC this winter.

Triangle Offense continues to promote themselves on the road to releasing The Courting, recently earning a spot on the Bad Boy Street Showcase by beating out 17 other hopefuls during an audition hosted by Indie Elite Promotions.

Introducing China's new replacement for Google-- Goojje!

I'm sure many of you have already heard the announcement from Google, that they are considering to leave China due to cyber attacks against them they claim that is originating from China. What will happen if Google really leaves? Fear not China, Goojje is here to the rescue!


Goojje.... W T F.


In case you are not familiar with that blue paw with the "J" in it, that blue paw is actually taken from Baidu, China's #1 search engine. Could Goojje is the love child between Google and Baidu? LOL. China, you guys have gone TOO FAR! I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last straw, causing Google to permenently leave China.

Vancouver has the BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE WORLD

According to an article from Conde Nast Magazine's February edition, Vancouver has the BEST CHINESE FOOD IN THE WORLD. What?! Vancouver's Chinese food even beats Hong Kong, Taiwan and China? Lol, take that motherland!

Check out the article:

Canada Wins Chinese Gold

by Mark Schatzker

Vancouver may be hosting the WInter Olympics, but it also seems to triumph in dumpling devouring. Over 38 meals in 12 restaurants, our indefatigable writer beholds the thrill of noodle pulling. (Warning: Don't read this on an empty stomach)

Forget about dumpling hunting in San Francisco. Cancel that pilgrimage to Flushing, Queens, for fish ball soup. If it's Chinese food you're after, pack your chopsticks for Vancouver—and say a silent thanks to geopolitics as your plane lands. It was 1997's repatriation of Hong Kong that began the mass influx of Chinese to British Columbia's lower mainland, a migration which continues to this day, fueled in part by Canada's immigrant-friendly policies. Today, almost one in five of Vancouver's two million residents is ethnically Chinese.

Combine those demographics with the city's legendary seafood and you have the recipe for an outsize number of extremely good Cantonese, Shanghainese, and Szechuan restaurants. According to local Chinese food critic and writer Stephanie Yuen—who was born in Hong Kong and has eaten extensively there, in mainland China, and in Taiwan—Vancouver is home to the best Chinese food in the world. Period. Perhaps that explains why visitors from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have started showing up in Vancouver just to eat the food they so love. Maybe it's time you did likewise.
