Interview with Jin The Emcee
AsiaFinest was able to get an online interview with the talented Jin from
Ruff Ryders. This interview was conducted on 12/16/2003. Check it out!
 AF:
You had a nice part in the hit movie 2 Fast 2 Furious. Were you nervous
at all when the camera started rolling?
Jin: Nervous a tad bit. Actually,
it was more anxiousness and excitement. I think I pulled it off pretty
well, considering I know nothing about cars in real life, yet I played
a "mechanic". lol
AF: Would you consider acting again?
Any future roles in a movie?
Jin: Definitely looking into doing
some more acting in the near future. Im more interested now in roles that
wouldnt be the ordinary.
AF: Did your parents support your
decision to be in the music business?
Jin: At first, they were totally against
it. This was more so because of the fact that I was telling them basically,
"Im not going to college after I graduate. Im guna be a rap star."
haha. However, now they are the biggest fans of mine.
AF: Is there any pressure on you since
you're the first Asian rapper to go mainstream? If so, how do you deal
with it?
Jin: Of course there is pressure.
Then again theres always pressure when you put yourself in a position
where you have the potential of doing something major in your life. There
really is no direct way I deal with the pressures and stress. I think
about what I really do this for. The passion for music..and the people
that love it.
AF: Any advices for people who wants
to go into the music business as well?
Jin: Probably first and most important
thing I'd suggest is to make sure you realize this is what you want. Alot
of times, individuals will see the glamour and glitz and think that that's
all it is, when in reality its way more than that. The music/entertainment
industry can take its toll on an individual.
AF: Where would you be today if you
weren't in the music business?
Jin: I honestly don't have a clue...Actually,
if I wasnt in the music business today, I'd be trying to get into the
music business.
AF: What type of music and which artist
do you listen to now?
Jin: A large variety of stuff stays
in my musical selection. Hiphop, rnb to pop. Even some Chinese music..Cantonese/madarin
pop. I think the best way for an artist to develop a style for himself
and be the most creative is by listening to a variety of stuff.
AF: Any goals that you want to achieve
but still haven't?
Jin: Plenty. Success seems so close..yet
so far away.
AF: What was your favorite project
or work to this date?
Jin: Hmm...working with Wyclef was
a interesting experience. He is a very talented person when it comes to
music. We just went in there and created magic.
AF: What was the weirdest thing that
has ever happen to you while performing a show?
Jin: Floor was wet one time when I
was performing at a large venue in Toronto, Canada. I tend to be very
active when on stage..as far as moving back and forth etc. So one quick
step and .. SPLAT!!!!!!!! .. Right on my ass.
AF: How has the Internet changed your
life?
Jin: Internet is the key to alot of
things. Keeps me in touch with the fans/supporters which is a big thing
for me..
AF: For the female visitors of AsiaFinest:
Are you single? What do you look for in a girl? Turn Ons and Turn Offs?
Jin: You have female visitors at AsiaFinest.com?..NICE..lol.
I am currently single. Things I look for in a girl?...Im assuming its
the same criteria as most fellas. Smart, funny, personality, affectionate...list
goes on and on. Turn on: being kissed on the back of my neck. Turn off:
Lets hope you never have to find out.
AF: What do you do for fun in your
free time?
Jin: I love what I do so everything
is pretty much fun for me..free time or not.
AF: How about we end this interview
with a quick freestyle from you?
Jin: "This interview was fun
thats no mystery.. //.. buy the album on March 23rd, 2004..'THE REST IS
HISTORY'...!!!". lol Shameless plug. Thanks .
