I want-information about MC Jin.

In the United States, Asians often give people the impression that they live in the affluent suburbs on the west coast of the United States. Most of them belong to the middle class or above and belong to the elite of American society.

Jin, on the other hand, represents another Asian: a city living on the east coast, belonging to the working class. He let Asian Americans see their true selves. His young shoulders bear a great weight.

Why is Kim so different? Because he is a rapper.

The rapper MC Jin is a young man born in China. Although the sales of the first album "The rest is history" released on June 5438+ 10 in 2004 were not satisfactory, it only ranked 54th in the album list of billboard music magazine in the first week and fell to 1 12 in the second week, but because it was the first Chinese singer to release rap records, he accepted "new york".

It is not easy for MC Jin to become popular in rap music dominated by black people. White rapper kid rock or Fred Durst can sell millions of records without any black fans, but MC Jin, who grew up in the black part of Miami, can't sell his records to millions of Asians who are not keen on rap music. He had to win the support of black rap fans to become popular, so the record company didn't want to emphasize his ethnic background. However, MC Jin's first single, Learning Chinese, not only emphasized her national characteristics as a China native, but also openly took pride in her cultural background. MC Jin sang in his song: "Every time I let them harass me to an explosion/the train should be given to us for free/didn't we build the railway at the beginning?"

MC Jin said, "I'm not saying that Americans are discriminated against more than blacks, Latinos and Jews. I just want to talk about the alien stereotype I meet every day. When I sang "You Can Learn Chinese", I didn't really want them to learn to speak Chinese, but I wanted them to understand through my songs that China people are not necessarily experts in computers and mathematics, or they can only open laundries, restaurants and takeaways in Chinatown. I hope that if I take the lead in breaking one of their prejudices, they will be forced to look at Asians in different ways. "

MC Jin's father immigrated to the United States from Hongkong when he was young, and opened a small China restaurant in the black area of Miami. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, MC Jin first heard the singing of the black rapper L.L. Cool J., and was deeply fascinated by this music form, despite the strong opposition of his family, he practiced hard. At school, he always liked to challenge other beginners in rap, but he was often laughed at at at first. As long as his opponent makes fun of his skin color, he has to give up. But in the end, MC Jin learned to skillfully turn the disadvantage of immigrant background into a weapon, just like all clever immigrant children. The MC Jin family moved to new york in the second year after graduating from high school, and then Carmel Blatter found MC Jin performing an impromptu rap performance in the corner of Broadway and became his agent, and recommended him to participate in a rap fighting program called "Free style Friday". MC Jin became famous here, winning seven straight games and winning his own record contract.

Although the yellow-faced woman is still a strange and embarrassing appearance in the American rap world, for Ouyang Jing, he will not be bothered by his China identity. Now, MC Jin has been able to accept the status of "yellow-skinned hip-hop hopeful star", although at the same time, he hates the white rapper Eminem who is called "Asian version". Like MC Jin, Eminem knew that he was not black, but he chose a stage world defined by black people. Therefore, no matter what and how they choose to sing, MC Jin and Eminem will be caught between the blacks and their own ethnic groups.
