Do you honestly think that today's geenration of rappers like 50 cent know anything about Chino, cause they sure as heck aren'y better than Chino.
And do you think that the audience rap reaches out to (mostly teenagers) will remember anything abuot what CHino said ina previos song?
And do you honestly believe that most teenagers todya that listent or ap pay that much attention to lyrics? hell no.
Case in point, Mike Jones made millions saying his name over and over again.

Actually...
I think you are OVERestimating the intelligence of people today if you think that Chino will ever be welcomed back by the average hip hop fan. The very premise of your argument supports that fact.
He was making a run for it in the early 90s. Radio play... guest spots on established artists albums... videos being shown on MTV... He could have been the next Xzibit.
But once the beef with 2Pac was established the mainstream wouldn't touch him. Plain and simple.
97.6 percent of so called hip-hop fans are mindless drones.
