Besides the fact, that he is one cool asian fellow (I heart cool asians), Jeff Chang is an overall amazing superhuman.

Jeff Chang is an author, hip-hop historian, journalist, and American Book Award Winner for his 2005 book, “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop”, a work that chronicles early hip-hop history. He is so gangster, in fact, that he recently won the “2008 USA Ford Fellow in Literature by United States Artists, a national arts advocacy organization that invests in America’s artists and illuminates the value of artists to society”. His work has appeared in numerous publications, including VIBE Magazine, The Village Voice, URB, and The San Francisco Bay Guardian.

Reading his blog makes me feel automatically smarter, so if you’re looking to up your IQ points, I suggest you click away! His keynote speech for UCLA’s Asian Pacific Coalition Conference helped me digest my own thoughts of the presidency today- (thanks Jeff)- you can find the speech here.
