Shanghai Tan 2 aka The Bund 2 – Theme Song by Frances Yip

Shanghai Tan 2 or The Bund 2, is a tumultuous series and story set in the rough and tumble life of Shanghai.  Back in the old school, it was an area known for gangsterism and triads, and was so known for this that the old school slang of “shanghaied” is the same meaning as “getting jooked”.  The story and film series stars Chow Yun Fat, who is known in Hong Kong and throughout the world, as really great at playing bad ass underworld types.  Here is the classic theme song by Frances Yip and has amazing instrumentals laying the back for her vocals.  This is a great song for any hip hop sampling artist to remix and chop up.
