...with mayors and other city officials, and humiliate themselves with a few rousing rounds of karaoke. Even better than belting out the words to Gloria Gaynor’s karaoke classic “I Will Survive” was the visit the group took to the Shaolin Temple as guests of the municipal government. There, they got to attend tea with the abbot of the temple, who was flanked by an entourage of 27 bodyguards. “There were all sorts of things [at the temple] that seem taken straight from legend,” said David...

When Method Man, whose experiences with Crimson-tinted hypocrisy were well-chronicled in 2001’s How High, was prompted to scream for ice cream on Raekwon the Chef’s stunning solo debut seven years earlier, did he bounce to Brain Break? Of course not. The Shaolin soldier wasted no time before warning the world’s cool confectioners that “French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe—even caramel sundaes—is getting touched and scooped in my ice cream trucks,” and the world is a better place...
