Throwback Thursday: Tai Mai Shu
August 2nd, 2007 by Michael KwanYut yee som,
Microphone testing one, two, three,
In the place to be.
Wassup everybody, my name is Tai Mai Shu.
And I am going to rapping for you today,
Just a little freestyle…
If you were a kid of the 90s, particularly if you are of Chinese descent, you probably remember listening to this MP3 some time around 1999. Sure, some people may consider the Tai Mai Shu freestyle to be a little racist — it clearly plays off of a number of Chinese stereotypes — but it was easily one of the funniest viral multimedia files that found its way around the Internet in the 90s. Remember, these were the days when most people were surfing around on 28.8 or, if they’re lucky, 56k modems, so downloading a single MP3 file was a pretty big deal. Even if you had cable or DSL, it was nowhere near as fast as it is today.
After I found this make-shift music video on YouTube, I just couldn’t help myself. I laughed. I laughed hard. I had myself in stitches and I played it again and again. Frankly, Tai Mai Shu is ridiculously funny. And the South Park-like animation just makes it that much sweeter.
29 CENT! At McDonald…. Baby!

Haha…I have never seen that!
LOL!
The weirdest thing happened…I tried to click on one of the AdSense ads and it wouldn’t go! That might be a good topic one day though…as a blogger, do you ever click on AdSense ads of other bloggers? I do sometimes if it is interesting and I wanna see what it is all about, or if I see an ad on my site and I wanna see what it is (I mean, I go to someone else’s site and click, not click on my own!)
I’ve noticed that unclickablility lately. It seems to only affect the main page and not when you’re reading within an individual post.
Wait any1 know if the rapper made more songs
