很多人通過《中國有嘻哈》
接觸了Hip-hop文化
因為嘻哈俠
認識了MC Jin歐陽靖
他說他叫「Hiphop Man」
是因為兒子的一句話
歐陽靖除了是一名Rapper
跟很多男人一起擁有一個偉大的身份:父親
跟天下的父親一樣
想成為孩子的偶像
即使自己有多麼不足
想讓孩子比自己優秀
即使自己沒有多少成就
MC Jin跟兒子Chance共同演繹的這首歌
《Fatherly advice》(父親的建議)
用簡樸的語言說出了一名父親的心底話:
關於愛、關於夢想、關於尊重
(他兒子的說唱天分簡直驚人!)

嘻哈其實不只有diss、粗口和叛逆
還有來自生活的態度和溫度
當一名rapper很酷
而當一名父親,是比rapper更酷、更偉大的職業
母親亦然
與人相處時
如果我們能想到TA也許是一名父親/母親
多一些尊重和鼓勵 少一些冷漠和無視
那該多好
因為我們的父親/母親也可能會遇到同樣的事
