Shortly after we posted about Lil' Flip's half-touching, half-"WTF?" tribute to the Virginia Tech victims, an eagle-eyed commenter alerted us to an earlier, more tasteful in-memoriam freestyle by Chinese-American rapper Jin (who, unlike Lil' Flip, is not pushing a recently released album). Using a hook from "Rain Rain Go Away"—surely, someone can help us figure out the original source—Jin manages conveys respect and regret without resorting to the easy emotion of a Cyndi Lauper sample (the news conference audio snippet at the end, however, reminds us uncomfortably of that Bruce Springsteen/Jerry Maguire song):

actually, jin just put out a cantonese-language album called "ABC."
This is awful.
Inching us closer to the inevitable DMB/some other wigglers concert on campus to help "healing", as well.
At the accelerated rate of tragedy>banality we're all hitting as a species, I'm guessing that will be on Tuesday.

I'm speechless...but you had to figure those guys would whip up something right quick on that Napoleon Dynamite rambling soundalike sociopath.
