I got my copy! Homecoming 回香靖

Yes, I'm actually blogging about something different this time. Blogging about music! I wonder if Jin is reading this lol if so HEY JIN!!! I love your character Yeung lap cheng! Yep, I'm blogging about Jin, his new album.

'Homecoming' is the name of his new album; 2nd Chinese album. Oh for those who don't know who Jin is (very unlikely) google him; he won the freestyle battle at BET 106 Park about 8 years ago I think or maybe longer than that. He was then signed by Ruff Ryders. He also starred in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

I was going crazy when I knew Jin was going to be at the book exhibition (in Hong Kong) giving out his customized USB- it looks like a Hong Kong ID card, 4GB memory USB. I was going even more crazy the fact that I couldn't go to the exhibition because I was in UK. My younger brother was in Hong Kong at the time so tried to get him to go but he couldn't because he was at the beach. Thought I wouldn't have a chance in getting it. But my brother surprised me!! Thank you so much Esmond love you lots xxx. He didn't go to the exhibition but when he came back to UK, he got his friend to order it online. He said it was a thank you present for me. 


The big one is the album and the little one is the USB. 

The USB: The chip slides out at the side. 
The date at the bottom 08-08-2011 is the release date of the album, on a real HK ID card that would be the issue date. The ABC stands for American Born Chinese, but on the real card I don't know what it means but my one has 'AO'. The 3 stars on the real ID card represents your status in Hong Kong- the type of stay you have. The date of arrival is when he arrived in HK, but on the real one it will be your date of birth. It's really kool huh?

I really like the package of this album, I know I'm not the only one that does. Everyone is fascinated with it. It's really creative and meaningful; it represents the journey of his music career from USA to Hong Kong. Every single song in this album is really positive and very healthy; he doesn't rap about girls, sex, violence or drug like those rappers does. However, he does rap about money but in a good way and not boasting about being a walking bank. But then I guess, those kind of content are too much for Hong Kong. H.K. artist won't be able to survive if they produced songs about sex, violence, drug and money because it's bad influence for the minors. Well at least Hong Kong is not like USA and UK portraying wrong and misleading images of a lady acting and dressing like a hoe for example.

Anyways, back to Jin's album. Oh sorry, I forgot he does rap about girls, no sorry not girls. WOMEN, older women! Lol. He raps about women in their 40's are the most loyal fans. Lol. It's jokes. There's another beautiful song where he raps about his wedding, the lyrics are really sweet. It's like awww. lol. Overall, this album itself is really humble just like himself. Even my dad said so lol, he said that he likes Jin because he is really humble.

Inside that greenish coloured cover are these; lyrics, CD (inside the blue case) & 2 coupons.
