Jason is listening to Hip Hop! Can how can this be? Well it’s true. And recently thanks to it’s overplaying here in Japan, I’ve had to chance to get hooked on that Kayne West song, “Through the Wire” It’s pretty catchy and describes the hell he went through after a near fatal accident. I’ll spare you the background on the song, although in the song there is a sample of an older tune that I heard when I was younger. It’s called “Though the Fire” as Sang by Chaka Kahn. Anyways, I realized just how slow that song way and how this rapper was able to add life to a song I thought was pretty much dead. This guy not only survived his own accident, but brought music back from the brink. I’m impressed.
Along those lines, I find the word Chaka and Khan quite funny together. Say them fast! It’s awesome! Khannnn!!!!!
Only in Japan can I hear a Kayne West tune followed by the current theme song to Detective Conan which is then followed by a Jay Z tune and another song from Detective Conan. Later on they played a song from Doraemon and then Outkast’s, “Hey Ya”, all while I was having Sushi at the local sushi place. I ge the best of both worlds in Japan.
