Gene & tha Shaolin Scholarz
Hmm, I was rather hoping for my band to be called “Gene and the nacho ninjettes”
If you’re so interested in Hip Hop and Shaolin, you’ve done your research and read my '99 article Hip Hop Fist, right?
quick note before i get back to this thread…running a job search right now
thought about it and shaolin and conscious hiphop is good for marketing…many convicts have become conscious from listening to and emulating the likes of great MC’s like KRS-ONE, Rakim and WU-Tang
many cats have wanted to be a righteous martial artist because of the shaolin legends
there is another good point of comparison!
bought that issue…that article is what got me paying attention to your writings genie:)
cang and dez, good points:)…Pang is chuan Tzu another spelling for sun tsu?
if not i don’t think i’ve heard much about him…got any good links that relate to the topic?
peace
ohya that is a good band name!!! 
genie?
That was a fun article to write, actually. And since I’m plugging old articles, there was a semi-sequel that appeared in seven chapters on the e-zine. This being said, I’ve mined the hip hop/shaolin relationship probably more than anyone in the biz. I was hoping it was a diamond mine. So far, it’s only turned up diego 
but at least something came of it…
We talked about the connection on the martial media side… 
maybe it was ORA
lol, what i meant was like compared to christianity etc…only peeps who get saved from christianity are those looking for a comfort blanket…shaolin and conscious hiphop is do it yourself ethic, so they really grab peeps and make them conscious…no bruce lee no breakdance like how we know it…no wutang clan…no jackie chan and all the shaolin monk popularity in the 90’s…no jet li as we know him
it’s all connected interestingly:)
