IHOP (International House of Pancakes) has more than 1,500 locations across the Americas has a wide variety of selections from pancakes, omelets and egg breakfasts to burgers, chicken and steak.
IHOP in Harlem located on 135th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Blvd is always crowded on Sundays because a lot of people come after church. It’s not fancy but this is only decent place you can sit down and eat in this neighborhood.
It’s a great anytime is breakfast time spot. Coffee is served by the pot full. Nice! The service is slow but courteous. It’s IHOP, don’t expect too much.

まずはHot97の若手DJが観客を盛り上げようと昔のヒップホップ・ヒット曲をかけまくります。”Money Ain’t A Thing” “Big Pimpin’” “Heart Of The City” “ROC Boys” となぜかジェイZのオンパレード。オーディエンスは20代が中心ですが、みんな古い曲も知っているようす。（アメリカではAK-69は「日本のジェイZ」と紹介されているそうです。）
New York’s legendary Hip-Hop radio station Hot 97 hosted its Who’s Next? Live at S.O.B’s and invited AK69 as a special guest.
Who’s Next?Live is a showcase for up and coming artists in the Hip Hop world that have generated enough buzz to warrant performing for a Hot 97 event. Hosted by Hot 97′s own Peter Rosenberg and Shani Kulture, performers included: Japan’s No. 1 selling Hip-Hop artist, AK-69; Bishop Nehru; Yungstar 6’3; Dyme-A-Duzin; and 360.
DJ did his thing to hype up the show playing Jay-Z’s old hits like, “”Money Ain’t A Thing,” “Big Pimpin’,” “Heart Of The City,” “ROC Boys” and more. 20 something young audience seemed to know all the songs.
Up first was Japan native (from Nagoya to be exact) AK-69. Proclaimed the “Jay-Z of Japan,” AK-69 definitely showed us why he is deserving of such accolades. He has a great flow and even though he was not understood the whole time (he performed in both Japanese and English,) it was evident he had talent as a rapper and singer!
He performed 4 songs from his latest album, “The Independent King” which I believe he’s living up to the album title. Damn, he’s got swag. A lot of it. The song, “Independent King” shows what he is today is a result of fighting his own battle and doing things the way that he can only do.
Closing his set with the rapper’s anthem to be “Yellow Gold,” he sang ♪♪yellow gold, yellow gold, yellow gold, ya know we gotta shine like yellow gold……♪ AK-69 really represented Nippon!!
The “Blurred Lines” singer’s new song features rappers 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar. This reminds me of Lenny Kravitz’s voice…… I can’t wait to play a cool electro remix!
11月に出る新しいアルバムからの1曲。ヒップホップ＋ロックで、’I Love Rock & Roll’ぽい感じ。他のアルバム収録曲を何曲か聴きましたがこの曲のようなロックぽいのが多かったです。
A new song from Eminem’s upcoming album expected to be released later this year. I heard a few songs already and this aggressive rock infused new track seems to set the tone of the album.
