Representing Singapore at the Expo: DURIAN STAR
Made in China ad campaign has its faults
Electrolist: Underground/overground clash again
Hotelist: Park Hyatt Shanghai
China's most valuable asset of the year?
This is a reminder for those of you who, like us, forgot that X Games Asia 2007 is taking place in Shanghai, today through Saturday. The official site has schedules and all other info you could possibly desire. That is where we found the embedded video, a promotional "rap" by a group called DarkSon Tribe (straight outta Alberta!!!). It includes such hard-hitting lyrics as:
DST X Games back to blaze ya, 2 double-O 7 playa back in Asia, Shanghai China time to get it started, ESPN brought it back it's time to get retarded, SMG is highly regarded ...
If you are a rapper trying to earn street cred, it's always good to send shout outs to media conglomerates like SMG.

I'd just like to point out that Edmonton and other parts of Alberta have dangerously high crime rates. Don't be so quick to mock.
what do dangerously high crime rates have to do with music?
Nothing. You're right. I was just making a point about how just because Darkson Tribe is from Alberta, and not from Compton, they aren't any less 'street'. Both places have purpotedly high crime rates, and thus, are 'gangster' enough to give an artist street cred.But street cred doesn't necessarily equate to good music.
