Shinoda has stated he felt the video was a nice wrap-up for Fort Minor. In November of 2006, Fort Minor released a new video for "Remember the Name", which features a montage of various amazing feats. In the lyrics of the track "Get Me Gone", he has said that before the debut album of Linkin Park came out, a person in the company to which they were signed told Mike to quit rapping and just play keyboards because the band didn't need a MC as they already had a singer, but with the help of the band, Mike released the album as they were and the humour of every people who made fun of Mike flattened.įort Minor won Ringtone of the Year for "Where'd You Go" at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. Other tracks, such as Slip Out The Back, have more general lyrical themes. Remember The Name, for example, describes the group's views on being rappers, while "Kenji" describes the experiences of Shinoda's family during the Japanese American internment of World War II. Mike Shinoda's plan was to make music while enjoying time with his friends, who include Ryu, Tak, and many other leading musical artists.įort Minor's first major album The Rising Tied, features 16 tracks (with three bonus tracks on the Limited Edition), many of which are specific to the lives of Shinoda and his collaborators.
