abc_jin

Jin Au Yeung, also known as MC Jin, expands his music scene to HK by releasing the Cantonese cover of his 2007 release 《ABC》 . In "ABC" (track 1), Jin raps about how he knows Cantonese.

佢哋想知點解d中文會咁正
係咪有個補習老師 not me
由細到大我睇慣TVB
新紮師兄 梁朝偉真係有型
歡樂今宵 何B同鄭裕玲
日頭猛做就無得停
點講都好 最緊要係你明

The only superstars he raps about in "HK Superstar" are Daniel Wu (featured in the track) and Bobby Au Yeung, whom he jokes about being his relative.

睇清楚 慢慢分析 歐陽震華係我親戚
錯 佢大把劇集做 我得嗰小小知名度

"HK Superstar"

Go to YesAsia to check out Jin's album 《ABC》.

Personal Note: 不如就等我呢個CBC嚟講下佢呢個ABC嘅廣東話發音哪. Even though Jin can speak Cantonese, he still needs to improve on the pronunciation of the dialect. There are many 'lazy sounds' found in his rapping. Just like Jin, I also grew up learning Cantonese by watching series. The difference is that I also listened to Cantonese songs. Back then, HK artistes sang clearly and none of them had 'lazy sounds'. I can also say that I don't have any 'lazy sounds' when I speak Cantonese.
