A Mile in My Shoes: Wyo Minghuang

Missing Mile Times sincerely apologizes for being unable to fulfill Wyo Minghuang's request to be shown "fighting a dragon".

Missing Mile Times is proud to present a new feature which will spotlight citizens in Missing Mile – A Mile in My Shoes.

Each week the same questions will be asked, but the answers are sure to be very different. Our goal is to give you more insight to your fellow citizens, neighbours, and potential friends or foes.

Without further ado, let’s meet our first citizen. Often hidden behind a veil of steam, Father to Pyo and owner of Pho Phuc Li (Asian Cusine), we introduce to you, Wyo Minghuang.

MMT: Could you state your full name?

WM: Wyo Phuc Cluckli Hoangingson Minghuang the Three Hundrend and Thirtieth.

MMT: Do you have any nicknames?

WM: Wyo. Or Pappayo.

MMT: Can you describe yourself in three words for our readers?

WM: Phuc’in loves cooking!

MMT: What is your biggest pet peeve?

WM: Pyo’s chores! He never does them! And it is annoying!

MMT: How would you describe your role within the Missing Mile community?

WM: Well I sell food, get arrested for dumb reasons, get abused by police, and never seem to care about public safety!

WM: So I guess a overall good citizen.

MMT: What is your favourite place in Missing Mile and why?

WM: In front of the police station, because I make the most money there!

MMT: If you could go on a road trip with one person from Missing Mile who would it be and why?

WM: Not sure. I don’t like road trips. Police keep pulling me over!

MMT: Wyo, do you have a valid driver’s license?

WM: Uhm.. I know Pyo does! And it’s his car! So yes! That makes it ok to drive.

MMT: What has been your most memorable moment in Missing Mile thus far?

WM: Seeing Pyo get his first ho! I was so proud. But I still wish he’d do his damn chores!

MMT: What has been your greatest accomplishment in Missing Mile thus far?

WM: I don’t know… I forget half the things I do.

MMT: I’m sure there must be something. Take your time.

WM: Hm. Oh, I crashed my first car at the age of six!

MMT: Wow! Here in Missing Mile?

WM: Wait… was it six, or six days ago? I don’t know. All I know is Mooby’s wasn’t impressed.  And they still haven’t fixed that hole.

MMT: What is one thing that people might be surprised to learn about you?

WM:  I’m a supasexy Viet god!

WM: Or, I was on my birthday anyway.

MMT: Last but not least, is there anything you would like to ask me?

WM: In the event that you choke on our food, promise to blame yourself or an innocent child?

WM: Not Pho Phuc Li?

MMT: Innocent child, perhaps. We’ll call it a deal in exchange for an extra spring roll here and there.

WM: I prefer summer rolls!

Next week’s interview TBA.

Ghostface Squashes Beef With 50 Cent, Says He’s Open to Record a Collabo

he feud between Ghostface Killah and 50 Cent is officially over. In a recent interview with XXLMag.com, the Wu-Tang vet said that his beef with Fif is a thing of the past.

As fans know, the two New York rappers had a public war of words years back, after 50 included the Shaolin heavyweight on 1999’s “How to Rob.” Ghost notoriously then fired back on a skit from his critically acclaimed Supreme Clientele album, as the deep-throated Clyde Smith. “Yo that nigga 50 Cent, I don’t even know why he did that lil bum ass shit right there,” he said. “But I’ma tell you something. You can say all them other niggas names but niggas gonna see you based on that big daddy…If I see you up in here I’ma have about 500 wolves on you…like I said 50 you a bird and niggas gonna see you.”

After seeing an interview with Starks on Fif’s web site, thisis50.com, XXL asked Tony what caused the change of heart. “That’s some old-school shit,” he shared. “Back then, things were all snowballed in the air on some other shit. I didn’t like what he said, that’s where it all started from anyway. But we kicked it on the phone one time, and after we kicked it on the phone that was it.”

“I aint really trying to hold no grudge fucking 30 years later after he done said whatever the fuck he done said,” Starks continued. “So it was like whatever.”

Ghost says he would even be open for recording a song with Fif.

“It’s whatever God wills,” he said. “At the end of the day we’re still people just trying to get ahead. It’s like you’re having a fight with a muthafucka 10 years ago… you can either keep the grudge or be like ‘yo wattup’ and just let it go and shit, it’s like what the fuck I’m holding on to it for. I respect all these niggas. As long as you respect me, I’ma respect you.”

Wizard of Poetry, Starks’ R&B-tinged eighth solo LP, is set to hit stores on September 29
